A Very Duggar Recipe: Homemade Baby Wipes

Raising children is expensive. One of the ways that the Duggars cut costs is by making homemade baby wipes. Don't worry, this is not a make-work project; it is quick and simple and is a sure money-saver!

Homemade Baby Wipes
A recipe that the Duggars learned from Gil and Kelly Bates, parents of 18--soon to be 19--children (as of December 2011).

• Using an electric knife, if available, cut an entire roll of paper towels lengthwise into two separate rolls. Each will be about the size of a toilet paper roll. The Duggars have tried other brands but have found Bounty to work best. 
• Combine 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of rubbing alcohol, and 2 tablespoons of baby oil in a mixing bowl. For extra softness and a sweet scent, add a tablespoon of infant bubble bath. 
• Place one half-roll of paper towel vertically in a clean, 1-gallon container, such as an ice cream bucket. 
• Drizzle the liquid mixture over the paper towel roll. 
• Cut an X-shaped slit into the lid of the container, and place it securely on top of the bucket. 
• After 30 minutes, open the lid and remove the cardboard tube  
• To prevent the wipes from drying out, keep the lid on at all times. 
• Feed the first wipe, from the inside of the roll, through the X-shaped slit for easy access.
