Make your own Baby Wipes
You need a Bounty Paper Towel Roll, cut it in half. I have read that you must use Bounty or Viva because cheaper brands will tear.
1 and 1/4 cups of water
1 Tablespoon of Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon of Baby Wash
2 drops of Tea Tree Oil, a natural antiseptic
Put half a roll in a tall storage container.  Mix ingredients in a bowl and pour over the roll, distributing evenly.  Put the lid on and let sit for 10 minutes.  Flip the container upside down and let it sit for another ten minutes.  Pull out the inner core of the roll.  Now you just pull the wipes from the middle.
