Although I do not use reusable cloth baby wipes, I do occasionally make homemade baby wipes. I had some leftover lavender essential oil from labor and bath soaks for post-baby, so I thought why not whip together some lavender baby wipes!
Plus, if you’ve ever purchased essential oils, you know a little goes a long way. These baby wipes are super simple to make. Honestly, I think the hardest part is tracking

Have a question about this project?
Would Coconut Oil work?
You could make it just about any scent, right?
Could you use different ingredients and make disinfectant wipes?
How do you remove the cardboard tube when the last paper towel is usually glued to the tube?
It’s not necessarily cheaper but I sometimes forget to buy tissues and we always have TP on hand.
