2 Homemade Baby Wipes Recipes

By Sandy Sheilds

Note from Editor: these baby wipes recipes can be easily altered with more "natural" brands of baby products or with homemade ingredients (homemade baby lotion, oil, shampoo)! Not all "baby oil" is safe for babies, so look for ones made of grape seed oil or vegetable oil, and without ingredients the average person can't pronounce. Coconut oil has taken off in recent years, and many moms are using it for baby needs.
