    What are you favourite baby skin care products?

    I don't know about anyone else but I LOVE buying beautiful products for my little man. Not only does he smell gorgeous but his skin is always smooth and soft. I think I have more products for DS than I do for myself - I love to pamper him. So I thought it might be nice for us all to share our favourite baby skin care products. Here are mine:

    Aromababy 'Pure Hair Cleanse'
    Aromababy 'Moisturising Nappy Change Cream'
    Weleda Baby 'Calendula Nappy Change Cream'
    Lavera Baby & Kinder Neutral 'Diaper Cream'
    Lavera Baby & Kinder Neutral 'Face Cream'
    Nature Babycare 'Sensitive fragrance free wipes'
    Thurlby Herb Farm '100% Olive Oil Baby Soap'
    Aromababy 'Pure Rainwater cleansing bar'

    I'm the same as you AJC. Some of those products smell absolutely beautiful.

    I love the Gaia stuff. It just smells so fantastic.

    AJC - your little man sure is pampered hehe

    I've only tried Gaia products and we LOVE them!! We only use them. We have the baby massage oil, baby shampoo, baby body wash and the calendula soothing lotion! But would like to try others maybe when our's run out.... I've heard of Aromababy stuff and it seems popular too.

    I am in love with Avado nappy lotion. I got a sample bag with a full-size product in there to try. It's awesome! Tristan has a sore bum atm, his nappy keeps sticking to his bum, so I've been using it and it's heaps better!

    I love the GAIA stuff, but it's out of my price range
    I also LOVE the Aromababy stuff, but can't seem to find any locally.... can't wait to go to Perth

    i LOVE the smell of the Gaia products, so thats what we use for ds. I haven't tried anything else yet because we love the gaia ones.

    any suggestions of products to try??

    Thanks Sally, organicem, missymou & sirenz for sharing your favourites.

    Sirenz, I just love the aromababy hair cleanse. It is actually so gentle that you can leave it on their scalp if they get cradle cap. I was having troubles with it on DS's scalp for a while and as soon as I started washing his hair with that every second night he hasn't had the tiniest bit. I've got the 250ml bottle and it is lasting for ages.

    Sally - I order my aromababy products from the mother direct website, they are one of the cheapest places to get it.

    doudou & kitt3n - I chose to use water only for the first few weeks but after a little while his skin in places was getting dry so I now choose to use products on him especially on his cute little tushie to avoid nappy rash.

    thanks missymou. I haven't heard of that. In fact there are a few I haven't heard of so far so that is great. I might check them out and try something new next time. he he the moogoo one has got me interested that's for sure.

    I love the Gaia shampoo - it lasts forever!! I've had it for at least a year, washing twice a week, and we are only one third the way through the bottle. Value!

    For the bath I use good old QV wash as everything else I have tried causes eczma.

    as for creams, we have Gaia and my favourite is a Jurlique baby moisturiser...mmm yummy!

    Dont really use powder, just boring zinc/castor oil for her bum or occasionally pawpaw cream, nothing too exciting there

    I'm a moogoo user! For me and DD. We use the milk wash and shampoo and conditioner and the MSM cream for nappy rash. And just for me, I use their oil cleanser and double cream face cream! LOVE THEM ALL!!!!

    I'm a Weleda fan. I use the Calendula soap on Olive, we are still on the same bar after 9mths. I got a pack with Calendula oil(which I got massaged with in labour), the soap bar and the nappy change cream. These products are beautiful and no lavender which I personally can't stand. I'm keen to try the A'kin range of baby products when we run out of Weleda as I use these on myself and they are beautiful and natural which is what I go for. In saying that I still find Sudocream the best nappy change cream.

    Thanks sazzafrazz, ezymay & Olivesmummy for sharing. Shall add your suggestions to my list too.

    I suffer from eczema from time to time myself so I guess that is why I am so interested and conscious of different products available for DS. I started using curash and J&J when I first bought DS home from hospital and my hands were a mess within days.

    I'm so jealous. We don't have anything good like what you ladies are talking about locally. We do have Gaia but it is $13 a bottle so out of our price range. We use QV bath wash/oil for our kiddies. We have a terrible time with excema and found these work best for us.
    I'm so boring, LOL!!
