Re: If your not using J&J.......

  • dove sensitive or aveeno lavendar - probably not much better

    we also use California Baby products - i like the lotion, but am out of body wash- will pick it up when i see it and remember.

    Thank you for asking this, because I just took off all the J&J from our registry and have no clue what else is good for a baby. C suggested Axe or Old SpiceHuh?...obviously he's hoping for a boy and has no effing clue about anything; good thing he's cute.

    Not sure who said it, but it is true.

    We have started using burts bees or earths best.  Both are available at BRU, Burts Bees is available at target as well.

  • We are using Aveeno the quaternium-15 was only in the calming wash it was not on the regular that we had.

  • I like Method stuff too.

    California baby is on sale with coupons at Target (just got flyer yesterday in mail)

    Appletini-  Little Remedies- moisturizer is AMAZING! is $7.49 at BRU i think but worked wonders for J's dry skin and even drool rash under his mouth last winter.  Only stuff I could get it to clear the rash. 

    I need to get bodywash for J in a pump, he is obsessed with showering and washing himself. I pump it on on arms, thighs, belly and "package" and he rubs clean I crack up.

  • I've been using Baby Magic and Suave Kids (find it with the adult shampoo). I think the Suave Kids is great for older kids (toddlers), and I'll use Baby Magic for the new baby in May.

  • Is the powder ok to use or is it all J&J? Or just liquid stuff like lotion / body wash?
    Lilypie Fourth Birthday tickers
  • It was only in J&J's shampoo and their head to toe wash. It wasn't in their lotion or powder. And I just looked on the back of the lavender bath and its not in their either.

    I use Aveeno (even though its made by J&J) but it doesn't have the quaternium-15 in it.

  • appletini-

    before you buy anything expensive- try Cetaphil- the cleaner one, not the moisturizer.  sue's skin was the same when she was little.  my pedi told me to use it.  he said it's what they used for their babies and his wife is a derm.  i think we used 2 whole bottles of that before we switched to any of the regular baby stuff.

  • Cetaphil is loaded with parabens (says it right in the ingreds). I use Arbonne wash and lotion now, its been great for D's dry eczema skin and costs less than California Baby (and smells better too).
  • We've been using Aveeno and California baby.  A has eczema also so maybe we'll give Arbonne a try that Kendra recommended.

    thanks for the recommendation! i can't use cetaphil on my own skin. i have sensitve skin like A. im worried to use it on A's skin.

  • Arbonne for Hair/Body wash

    Up&Up (Target) for Bubble Bath.  I checked the ingedients and it doesn't seem to have the nasty stuff.
