Baby Skin & Body CareA blog on baby care

esp if you breastfeed (including bathing and play/cuddling time). Also when you’re changing baby’s poop diapers, how many wipes do you use in one session? Do you always use soap and water when possible? How many baby wash clothes do you use? (particulary if you have a boy; or if you have a girl your answers are still welcome of course =]) Thank you.
9 months next week with my perfect little boy

I usually run warm water over his face with a hose and scrub with my fingernails to loosen up dirt, but he’s stained the white on his face with something that’s not coming off. I need to shampoo and scrub it with a shampoo that won’t sting his eyes. He also likes to drink the water as it’s running down and I want to make sure whatever I use is safe.
So what does everyone here use on their horse’s face? Baby shampoo? What else?
Thanks in advance.

I let my dog outside to go poddy (fenced in backyard). I thought I’d leave him out for a while to enjoy the nice day, since it’s usually cold and rainy. Well, I put out a milk bone treat on the patio, then went back inside. He came up on the patio and ate it.
While he was eating, his mouth was foaming. A lot.
So I thought he might just be thirsty (since he drinks a lot). Well, I put out a bowl of water. He won’t drink.
So, now I’m worried. I don’t know why his mouth is so foamy. Could he have eated something outside? I don’t have any soap out there that I know of… maybe he tried to drink the pool water?
I hope it’s not rabies. It shouldn’t be… I think he’s already had his rabies shot.
Should I take him to the vet as in to the vet emergency hopital today… or can I take him on Monday when I can get an appointment for his normal vet? Or should I not be worried. Is this normal?
Currently, my baby is laying down on the patio. I don’t see any foam now.
Opinions?

I was using Fabuloso floor soap. It smells awesome, but when you wear socks, it feels like the floor is sticky (like movie theater floor!)I have a messy baby and I’m sure she adds to the mess, but what can I use to remove some of the residue that fabuloso leaves behind? I know you can use vinegar, if I add in baking soda will that help? Thanks!

ima sucker for baby lotion

I mean, the rest of my body doesn’t have pimples or blemishes. It’s baby-smooth and supple. And I only use normal antibacterial soap like Safeguard. I seldom put lotion. But with my face, I’ve never used soap, always these so-called mild cleansers. I tone, I moisturize, I seldom get out in the sun, but my face has all these dark spots, reddish spots, a couple of pimples, pimple scars, whiteheads, blackheads (in pictures you can’t see them but if you look at my skin really closely, ugh!) Now I’m tempted to use the same products and maintenance techniques (which is practically low-maintenance) that I do on my body, to my face. What’s the diff between body and face skin anyway?

My newest is four weeks old, but I have some that are 3+ years old. I’ve heard that baby oil is good for older tatts, any other ideas?? Thanks in advance…

It’s getting to the point where I don’t shave as much as I need to. Kind of gross, I know, but I don’t really have a choice. I’ve tried everything from Johnson’s Baby Lotion to Jergens, but the lotions just make it burn. (Have it on my back and legs mostly…looks like I had an allergic reaction to something.) The only thing that I can put on it that I already have is baby oil, but I don’t really want to have to lather up with that every day.

I have 2, 1 & half month old kittens just infested with fleas everywhere, I just gave them a bath in Baby Shampoo 10 minutes ago and it did kill ALOT of the fleas but what to do about the eggs? they’re too young for that stuff you put on the back of their neck. Any ideas on how to kill the flea eggs? (pref best possible solution befor taking them to vet)
