Glad you liked it i have a few others im digging up and will post them as well. I am so glad to have made the change over , i always hated running out of wipes when i was using disposables ! Now i never run out

Are they honestly that simple? I might give them a try.

CathieJade

They really are quite simple, I take old recieving blankets and cut them up , sew a few layers together and use them as wipes. and now that I have done this i found that i like these wayyy better then any disposable wipe, they are so much easier to use . also baby washcloths work really great too !

I heard this in one of my magazines. It is suppose to be a big money saver too! They say to unroll paper towels and cut them in half. It is ALOT cheaper.

CathieJade

That would work really well too, Its amazing at how expensive wipes really are and you don't realize it until you stop buying them. No more coupon cutting for me now WHOOT . and a wipe warmer works really great for cloth wipes to and i'd imagine the paper towels as well, they are really cheap and keep things nice for baby plus serve as a great storage place
