Hey Fi,

I'd go so far as to say you probably don't need most of those things you mentioned....perhaps just two or three things!! You really don't need a great deal IYKWIM?

You can use sorbolene or baby oil for moisturising or massaging baby pre/post bath, so I'd suggest one of those, and if you want to use some kind of soap-type product, then one of those too....perhaps something like the top-to-toe product that Kathryn mentioned, which can be used on the hair as well. We have used the QV Kids Wash which is a non-soap based product.

I've never had to use powder on Jacob at all. Basically what I have is:

QV Bath Oil
Baby Sorbolene (J&J)
Botty Butter
J&J Nappy Rash Treatment Cream

Bearing in mind I only use the Nappy Rash Cream if he has a little red bum, otherwise I just use the botty butter as a bit of a barrier type of thing, and I use the sorbolene to keep the little eczema patches at bay. A lot of people like to give their babies a little massage either before or after their bath, and the sorbolene or baby oil can be really good for that. You don't really need anything that has fragrances and things in it as they have the potential to aggravate the skin as we found out!! They smelt SOOO good though and I miss him smelling so scrummy from certain products, but I'd much prefer him to have nice healthy skin!

So all in all, probably just get 2 or 3 basic things and see how you go from there? I know we bought OODLES of products and didn't end up using most of them!!
