Baby Skin & Body CareA blog on baby care

The doctor and all the books say to bathe a newborn 2 times a week. I feel that is to little and have started 3 times a week. Alot of people say that bedtime ritual is bath, bottle and bed. So should I start bathing every night in order to start a night time schedule? Or at what age should I start bathing more?
Also my baby hates baths and cries the whole time. Is there a way to make bath time better for her? and the doctor said not to use lotion because it will interfer with her skins natural oils but I love baby lotion. Should I use it anyway?

he only has symptoms of irritation so far.should i put calamine lotion on it?i just got over with the chicken pox and i’m also worried that my 2 1/2 yr old daughter gets it too.do i have to go to the doctor?my kids did not get their vaccination to prevent chicken pox.

Soon , I will be needing a new shampoo , and I have seen so many good ones I just cant decide ! Here are the options :
- Joico Silk Result £10.95 ( My hairdresser uses it on me and its really good, but I dont know whether its th way she does my hair or the shampoo)
- Tigi Bedhead Self Absorbed ( sounds really good )
-LUSH daddyo ( the one I have now and its pretty good but smells too strong )
- John Frieda Go Blonder ( I LOVE the conditioner of it )
- Samy Smooth and Shine ( sulfate-free , which I like the sound of , and its cheap and easy to get )
- Baby Shampoo ( Used to use it , was okay , and really cheap !)
Its such a difficult decision , I just cant choose ! What do you suggest ?

My bunny is elderly and unwell (he is taking medicines from the vet) and he is wetting himself occasionally, so has quite a lot of stale wee around his tail. We tried to clean him up with a hot wet cloth but this didn’t do much to help because he really needs a proper shampoo.
I was thinking about bathing his hind areas with baby shampoo. Would this be ok or would it really upset him? Would baby shampoo be suitable? He does wash himself a lot but he is still grubby and it can’t be comfortable for him. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have bought some toys (playskool market, baby toys, teethers, hot wheels) and toiletries (soap, shampoo, sanitizer).
Do you think there is need for anything else?

They have had flea shampoo bathes this week also. But the last bath was with baby shampoo and conditioner. This is the worst year for fleas and I want to provide relief for my ladies!!!

Hey, so today will be the first day im going to clean my makeup brushes, but I have no clue how to and what to use ! I read that you can use vinegar and water, has anyone ever tried that and does it work? I don’t have any professional makeup brush cleaner so I cant use that, and I don’t have baby shampoo, but I do have baby oil. Would that work? PLEASE HELPP !

My concern is that since our daughter is constantly sucking on her soft toys, I don’t want to introduce any soap into her system. So, if we do use soap, will it wash out in the rinse cycle even though the toy is very pretty thick with material (i.e. a fuzzy bear, etc.)?

My natural hair colour is black and it is thin. Recently my hair has been oilier than normal after i had dyed my hair reddish. If i washed my hair, it would be oily in another 24hrs. So i’m constantly washing my hair everyday. I get sick of it oiling all the time so i use baby powder. But that doesn’t help the oiliness. I am using loreal colour shamppoo now.
