I have completed two pair with two to go.

Here is a sample.

Quick and easy Baby Wipes Tutorial

Baby wipes are the one thing that I forgot to factor in the cost of during the tiime that I was expecting our little one. And boy do they pack a punch! I don't know about you but we just go through so many!

I got a bit sick of having to dash to the shops every second day for wipes and I also wasn't that keen on the chemical component of the purchased wipes.

So after a bit of research - I made some!

Here is how you do it:

 

Using 1/2 a meter (or 0.6 Yards) of polar fleece - guage the width that you will need to cut from a commercial baby wipe. (or any size that suits you)

 

Using the width and length of the commercial wipe as a guide, cut your polar fleece into rectangles.

Stack them in a pile and you are ready to go!

I keep ours in the baby's room and simply dampen them with water to use. Our bathroom is right beside the baby's room - however you could also fill a reusable wipes container with water mixed with a little sorbolene lotion and a little tea tree oil - and keep some of your polar fleece wipes in there. If choosing this method, you will have to change your solution daily.

For a dirtier nappy change I usually use about 3 wipes, pre dampened with water - clean him up with the first two, then use a little sorbolene on his bottom and wipe this off with the third wipe. I then dry him off with a terry towelling flat nappy.

they also make great face washers to clean up the little ones hands and face after eating - again - just dampen the polar fleece - and use as you would a normal washer.

These can be put in the nappy bucket (Diaper pail) and washed with your nappies (if you use cloth) - or simply pop them in with a load of baby clothes.

I'm happy to have you playing along!

We have had a quiet weeked with only a little crafting. I was a bit tired after my first week back at work.

I have much planned for next weekend however! I am looking forward to that.

I did whip up this nifty little wonky patchy tea cup coaster - for work!
