this makes me so sadi use moogoo, QV or gaia on DD, but wasn't aware of J&J's ingredients until DD was well over a year old
she was is hossy for the first 6 months of her life, and all they had available was J&J bath stuff, moisturiser etc....so i figured if hossy uses it, it has to be good! ummmm wrong! glad I know now for this bub! goes to show what a good advertising campaign can do....

It really does, doesn't it? I always hate being at baby showers when people give the pg person a big basket of J&J products. You can't slag off the gift in front of everyone. Plus lots of people think you are being extreme. Every mum has used them for as long as there has been baby products, it can't be bad!

it seems to be the standard add in to most people's baby shower gifts! I am far from being extreme or a hippy, but people - even DH, think I am over reacting or being silly when I wont buy J&J stuff to pack in hossy bag or for this bubs nursery!

I normally use moogoo as a bath wash and cream. And Gaia shampoo.

just wondering if anyone has any experiences of J&J products negatively affecting their children. i think almost all of us were raised with these products, i know i was. and almost everyone i speak to tells me they were, when i tell them mw told me not to use powder.
i think its a case of us mothers doing better when we know better. im sure in 20 years, we will all be made to feel guilty about something we have done whilst raising our children, just as our parents are being made to feel guilty now with all the cancer revelations. kwim???
but i agree its a no brainer when it comes to products. natural is best.

Yes, most of you would have had J&J used on you as that was all there was back them. We were also encouraged to use powder when changing a nappy.
I don't have nor had J&J in our house for years and now try and have natural products for myself and the family and the grandchildren.
There is so much available these days, there is really no need to use anything other than natural products on your children

I used J&J for Joshua... didn't know any different... also fed him jars of baby food and formula after 5 1/2 months... he did have a cloth bum though lol. So, when I was pg with Oskar, I got some J&J stuff... why wouldn't I right? Used it before and was ok.... well Oskar and Elijah both have skin a bit more like mine and get horrid dry red patches in winter mostly... so I changed and got QV oil and wash and now use Dermaveen wash with oatmeal in it... has worked so well. I don't use a separate shampoo for them, I use the wash, it's PH balanced and soap free. Elijah's hair is still as soft as a babies and he's almost 2.
Re: powder... I used it all the time with Joshua too, but not for the little ones. If I do buy it I buy the cornflour one. Although I haven't had to buy it in that many years it's not funny lol. I did used to really love the smell of a powered baby after a bath though, such a clean and fresh smell about it... or maybe it's one of those subconcious memories.

I've yet to try her baby products, but I love the products from Natural Woman for my skin. I'm still working through the Gaia stuff I got given for DD, but I might grab some of natural woman's baby care products in the cloth nappy hunt.
