Money Saving Tip #97: Diaper Wipes

Like I mentioned before, I have been using cloth diapers on my last 2 children. I have saved thousands of dollars by using them. I do not use traditional disposable wipes on my son. I use the small baby washcloths to clean his bum during the diaper changes. Then, I toss the soiled washcloths in my bin of dirty diapers to be washed with the next diaper load.

We keep our clean washcloths in a basket on his diaper changing table. Beside the basket is a small bowl of water. When we need a wipe, we take a wadhcloth and dip it in the water. Then we squeeze the excess water out before we use it. I recommend changing the water everyday or every other day.
