Do you put something in the bath like bubbles? What do you wash your baby with?

I liked Baby Magic baby bath liquid. The fragrance IMO is better than Johnson's. It's been many years, so I don't know what the current products are.

Bubble bath is good for young children as a special treat, but can be irritating to delicate skin so best not to use often.

Aveeno. I put in the baby bath so it bubbles up. Wet his hair put some more aveeno on a washcloth. Rub his hair and body and then rinse. He smells delicious!

I use cetaphil baby wash on my baby. It's good for dry skin.

Johnson's baby bedtime wash on a washcloth. I like it because it lathers nicely, smells great, and calms down DD.
After Bath I use Aveeno BABY soothing relief moisture cream. It helps keep her skin silky, especially her cheeks and during the winter.

Loved babyspa babywash. Supposedly all natural. Very hard to find though.

If you have a girl, don't put anything in the bath. It can irritate her sensitive parts.

Well depending on how old your baby is - nothing! We don't use anything unless there's a particular stinky gross situation as per our pediatrician's recommendation (and the Mayo Clinic's Guide to Baby's First Year agrees). No need to put anything on the skin for the first 6 months, skin is too sensitive!

edit: We bathe her in warm water with a wash cloth, that part I figured was obvious.

We put nothing in the bath itself. We wash the baby with Honest Company shampoo + body wash. It's tear free.

Johnson's head to toe wash. DC breaks out from a lot so that's all I used. I bought aveno baby wash on recommendation from friend- will try that when this bottle is done!

No bubbles, no perfumes/dyes in the products. Just head to toe, warm water and a washcloth.

Shea moisture baby wash head to toe. It's natural and makes lots of bubbles as well

I actually like the Up & Up (Target) knock off of Johnson & Johnson better than J&J itself. It smells incredible.

Just water. If I ever get myself together, then a baby massage with the oil my midwife gave me. I also don't bathe my babies too often. It's not good for their skin.

And how often is not often? I bathe by baby beginning of week and end of week. Was wondering if thats normal.

Also, maybe this needs a separate thread?? With what do you wipe the baby's bottom when changing it's diaper? I found that wet paper towel wipes so much better than baby wipes but its a pain to make it wet every time. Baby wipes are just so much more convenient.
