bathing baby products

[star child]

Hi ladies & gents-

Was weondering what products you use for your baby, J&J etc...
I have heard that not many mums use products for the first 5 months?? why is this?

[Lulu]

No one uses J&J cos it sucks, is too harsh and causes rashes.

Don't beleive the hype when they say "90% of hospital use J&J, cos they DON'T!

i agree J & J isnt the best, though it does smell good! :-) we use QV wash from the chemist as it is natural and gentle on the skin. there are also other similar products at the chemist to choose from.

We use very little even now as a toddler. My DS had horrible reactions to the J&J 'sleepy-time' bubblebath - wow so not sleepytime at our house. Try the Method baby (Woolworths) or Baby Ghia range - lovely stuff free of parabeans, petroleum based prodcuts (which J&J is full of) and SLS - sodium lauryel sulphate - not sure on the spelling - if you can look for ones that have do SLS or plant based/cocconut derived SLS it is much better. You can also find some botiques that sell a bath oil with chamomile or something gentle like that if bub has dry skin but really when they are crawling around getting dirty plain water will be fine

Saram- do you know if the Method stuff is tested on animals? sorry OT, but i love the smell oftheir marshmallow bath stuff but only want to use it if not tested on animals.

star child- i love the Gaia products.

Gaia or Avado, both you can get from Coles I love them!

I will be trying Gaia baby products when this baby comes. I am trying to stick to as few chemicals as possible which is why I will be avoiding J&J product.
