Baby Soaps?  

post #1 of 13
Thread Starter 
I'm looking for a good set of baby products, particularly soap/hair wash/lotion. I want something that is very moisturizing and gentle...my kids are prone to eczema. Scents are ok, in fact I prefer something with a scent.

I've mainly seen California Baby, Baby Bee (by Burts Bees), and Dr. Bronners baby (which isnt scented but I could probably add EO's to myself? how do you go about doing that?). I've been leaning more towards Dr. Bronners but I have read it can be drying. I love Burts Bees as well. Gah!

What do you guys use on your babies/toddlers? I dont mind if its not available locally-my dh orders off the net all the time anyway. Please share!

I use all three. I like change and get bored.

I've been using the Dr. Bronner's since I first started bathing DS with soap. It's never dried out his skin at all. We'll continue to use it for a long time.

My ds is also prone to excema and I don't use any soap. Just rinse off with a washcloth and them use a squirt of Weleda Calendula Oil in the bathwater to moisturize before I take him out. I just use it right at the end of his bath because it makes him slippery but it works great for a quick, deep all over body moisturizer. I like all Weleda's products for babies. I think their soap would be good too, but haven't used it personally.

Everything I've tried has dried my daughters skin out, except for Aquaphor gentle wash. That is it. And it is hard to find IRL, easy to find online. Unscented though! Now that she is older I often use Lush solid shampoo on her hair so that she smells delicious, or we take a bath together with a bath bomb or bubble bar. Yum!

Yeah, they only get water baths most of the time, but I do have to wash my toddlers hair almost everyday (what can I say, she likes putting food in there ) and I use soap on them once a week. I've been using Suave Kids on them once a week with no problems, but Id like to switch to something more natural. That and my 2 year old has dandruff pretty badly and its driving me nuts, so I'm hoping to find something more moisturizing for her hair and for the baby thats on its way.

I use Burt's Bee's Baby wash and Buttermilk lotion on my DD2 and she's never dried out. I will also use Lush sopas on her when she's older and do with my DS and DD1. Honey I Washed The Kids is a good one that smells fantastic! They used to make a baby bath bomb too but I can't remember what it was called.

I can't help but think that when I was my dd's hair with the baby mild Dr. B, that her hair smells like 'wet dog'. Even if I put EO in it. We're almost done with the crap she got when she was littler (because I don't use it all that much) so I want to move her to something healthier.

I use Sappo Hills plain unscented bar soap. I use it for everyone in the house. When I can afford it, I also use the Frangrance Free body was from Terressentials. Terressentials has a whole line of baby products, but I just love the FF. They have some GREAT oil and cocoa butter mousturizers, too!
