I found that when I mucked around too much with toners my skin was much worse than it is these days where i pretty much leave things alone. I think that exfoliation is more important than toning. Recently I've started using the MiEssence garnet exfoliation cream and it is doing wonders. I wouldn't use an exfoliating cream on a baby but a similar result can be achieved by rubbing with a dry towel. I think skin thrives when it's natural balance is achieved. Diet can muck up the balance too, and stress... hopefully your bub won't have these issues anyhow.
With our baby we basically just hold him under the shower with us and only use a little MooGoo soap on his bottom and feet. So far he is the only bub of mine that has escaped soap induced ezcema! After his shower I give him a rub down massage with the towel on his change table. So far so good. I think just keep it simple. I don't moisturise either at this stage but if I did I'd make sure I used the most natural one I could find... maybe just a bit of almond oil.
