Looking For - Favourite Bath Products

A friend of mine, who is a soon to be mommy, sent me an email today wondering about which products she should use for shampoos, creams, etc. She has been doing a lot of research on it and is feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the "hypoallergenic, natural, none of this added or that added and not to use this because it can cause this" that she has been coming across. I use the Johnson products (lavender) but I know that they are quite perfumed and I have also tried some of the Aveeno stuff and both have seemed fine for my little H.

We are putting it out there to all of you for some of your favourite shampoos and creams - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. To add your favourites just click on the comment link below this post.

Please and Thank You!

Bathtime Favourites - Eucerin Cream

Another favourite of Monica's:

This cream works really well if you have a baby or child with sensitive skin but especially if you are dealing with eczema. Shortly after one of my daughters was born, she developed really bad eczema (due to a milk allergy which we later found out). I kept going back to the doctors because the cream that they gave me (hydrocortisone) was not working. We started with a 0.5% cortisone cream and before we knew it we were up to a 2% one with some mixture of another cream and it wasn’t working. We saw a pediatric resident doctor, that happened to be working with my family doctor at the time and he recommended using Eucerin cream 3 times a day until the eczema became controlled and then to use it daily after a bath. It is very thick and kind of lard-like but it gives the skin a protective coating and keeps it hydrated. Today, you would never know that my little girl ever had any skin problems. Her skin is super soft and perfect. By the way, it is also good for dry cracked hands.

Bathtime Favourites - Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream

Christine shares that one of her favs is Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream:

"It soothes and relieves dry skin - even eczema - I use it now too since it is about $2 cheaper than the same size in the adult cream."

A lot of my mom friends recommend the Aveeno products. Just lately, when H's bottom was so bad, a friend suggested I use the Aveeno Baby Soothing Bath Treatment. H also has very sensitive skin and seemed to be reacting to the sunscreen I was using, so another mom suggested I try their baby sunscreen.

Thank Chris, I will have to pick up a bottle the next time I am at the drugstore.
