Hi ladies,

I was wondering what your recommendations are for baby products?

I bought a bottle of Moogoo milkwash and a tub of Uddercream thinking these would be great and just found out they have palm oil in them will use them until finished but trying to make as little impact on the environment as possible so would prefer palm oil free products.
Is there a fancy/chemical name for palm oil?

I've just looked at my MooGoo stuff and I can't see it listed as palm oil on the ones I've got. We use the MSM cream - for bum and moisturiser, psoriasis & eczema cream, milk wash for bath (we also have the shampoo & conditioner not used yet) and the scalp care cream (to reduce the cradle cap).

To answer some of the other Qs

When we use commercial wipes (more often than not ) we use the Curash brand, either the fragrance free (still smells nice) or the soap free ones. They are nice to DS's bum. The huggies brand were nasty - DS didn't like those at all.

Lil Squirt - used it frequently, even with the NB / BF poops. Made rinsing out those MCNs easier and made me feel like there was less poop to go through the machine. Don't use it as much now with DS's poop as it now tends to roll off the nappy into the loo. I only use it when the poop really sticks.


Cornstarch, I think is sold in Aus as cornflour (I remember trying to find cornstarch for a slow cooker recipe (US recipe) and discovered that it was the same as cornflour.) Maybe try the cooking (flour etc) aisle at the supermarket.
