I found that I was given far more products than I ever used, with all three children.

Steer clear of Johnson & Johnson products for babies, as they are very highly perfumed and can irritate delicate skin. I don't know why a company that supposedly specialises in babycare uses such harsh perfumes, my kids ended up with rashes from using their lotions, soaps or shampoos even though they could use other brands without any issues.

The best cleaning product for babies is a pack of small, soft washers - you really only need warm water for most clean-up jobs. I bathe Max every day, but only use a soap product about once a week, unless he is particularly dirty.

I was given a Curash baby pack and found it one of the best things I've used - particularly the moisturiser, which I only use when he has dry skin, not as a matter of course.
