Well Amy since you asked...
I have made my own baby wipes and baby food for each of my kiddos and my kids have only had 1 or 2 diaper rashes ever.
I use Bounty towels that have the smaller towels perforated. Cut in half lengthwise so that you have 2 rolls that are 1/2 as tall. Pull out the cardboard center. Place one of your rolls in a plastic container, Rubbermaid had one that fit perfectly. Mix: 2 cups warm water, 1 TB baby wash, 1 TB baby oil then pour evenly over the tops of the towels. Pull up the inside one first and there you have it. Make sure to keep the lid on as they dry out quickly...however they can just be rewet. It's kinda bulky so I still have a small container in my purse to carry the store bought ones when I'm out and about. I have no idea how much money this has saved.
Baby Food - I love the book, Super Baby Food. It breaks down month by month how much to feed your baby and which foods to introduce that month etc. The first few months the foods need to be cooked or easily mashable, mix with some water or formula if needed to get to the right consistency. I use my hand blender for shakes. Pour into ice cube trays, pop out when frozen and put in freezer bags. When feeding defrost a couple of cubes, mix and match flavors and it is easy. I just did avacados. Bought a large one for $1.29 mix it up with nothing added and it filled 2 ice cube trays.
These are a few of my favorite things.

Avocado baby food? That's one I'd never heard of. YUM!
You didn't get a very good price on that one, though. I wait until they're 2/ $1 at IGA sales.
I'm going to have to check out that book!!
I'm going to try the baby wipes, too!
Oh my gosh, thank you! My husband is over here saying, Hmmmm....maybe we should do that. Of course we being me, but, you know how it goes. LOL!
Lilla gets diaper rashes from the regular ones so we are always buying the extra sensitive. Hopefully this will be better. Thanks so much!
