Little babies are very sensitive to harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances found in most soaps, shampoos and toiletries we adults use every day. In fact, a lot of so-called baby skin care products have those same harsh ingredients. Please consider using all-natural and organic soaps and toiletries for your baby to help prevent irritation now and future allergies and sensitivities. A great place to start is the California Baby or Weleda lines of baby care items (available from Amazon.com –see Resources list below).
And, don’t be afraid to forgo the baby bath tub (after consulting your professional health care practitioner). My daughter hated hers, so I just filled the big tub just an inch or two and, after my husband or other adult helper got us into the tub, we bathed together. It was very relaxing for both of us and much easier to clean her gently. Studies show babies need skin-to-skin contact and a bath is a very natural place to share some time with your baby.
