Spit-up On My Shoulder

Here’s a great idea for saving money on baby wipes that I found in the 5/16/07 issue of the Dollar Stretcher newsletter:

Instant Baby Wipes

I raised four kids and didn’t buy baby wipes for home or travel. A roll of toilet paper or box of generic facial tissue and a bottle of dollar store baby oil is grand!

All you do is take a few squares of toilet paper or a couple tissues and put a squirt of baby oil on them and wipe. This is warmer than sometimes chilly baby wipes and I believe does a much better job of cleaning the little ones tender tushies.

A pediatrician who grew up in a poor area of New York City actually gave me this tip many years ago.
