DIY - Baby Wipes

My sister mixes up her own solution for baby wipes. It's super easy, less expensive and better for their bottom. If you use cloth diaper, you can wash the wipes right with the diapers. 

My sister mixes her solution up in an animal cracker bear. The kind you'd get at Sam's Club or Costco. You can mix it up and put it in a squirt bottle. The spray would go right on the babies bum or on the cloth its self. Place cloth wipes in a commercial baby wipes container and pour wipes solution over wipes.

I found some recipes here:
