I had a bad experience with baby wipes lately- I used one, then put it in the little cup holder of the pram and then put my thermos on top of it. 30 minutes later I lift up the thermos and whatever on earth is in the wipe had managed to REMOVE THE PAINT from the bottom of the thermos. Not so happy about using them on Peter's bum, hands or face now...

So I've been looking for ways to make my own (not sure about using faceclothes, something just freaks me a little about that, go figure). And this one, although I have yet to try it, sounds very cool indeed:

1. Get a roll of paper towels and cut it in half (so you have two rolls almost the size of toilet paper). Don't use a serrated knife (not sure why).
2. Pull out the cardboard tube.
3. Put one roll into a container that fits it fairly neatly, eg, round tupperware. (I suspect this could be the hardest part!)
4. Pour in two cups of water and anything else you like (nice baby oil etc), put the lid on and shake around a bit. Stand upside down for 5 minutes.
5. When you need one, open the lid and pull out a wipe from the middle of the roll.

It says be careful of moulding as there is no preservatives. You can add some tea tree oil to prevent moulding (is this ok for baby's bum??)

I am so off to try this!!

Sorry about the huge number of brackets. Can't seem to stop using them...
