Baby Skin & Body CareA blog on baby care

ok so the baby shampoo i have for my rats is *landers(gentle formula)* will that sampoo work for my pet rats??

can i use regular laundry soap or do i need to go out and buy the special baby kind? what about fabric softener?
any cute ideas for gifts to give to the people who come to my baby shower? my friends are throwing it for me, but i wanted to bring something special of my own to give the people who come. it could be something homemade or creative…just cant spend a lot of money.
also…just one last question…how safe are dogs and cats around a new born?
thank you all so much in advance for helping me. i really appreciate it! this website is such a great idea!

Our daughter gets round patches of eczema (looks kind of like ringworm, but the doctor says it is not) in various places on her body – from elbows to her backside. They are fairly responsive to over-the-counter hydrocortisone treatment plus lotion. I’m just curious if this is something she’ll outgrow or it predicts future eczema issues. I was going to ask the doctor, but my daughter was screaming and crying at the time. Oh, our daughter is almost 8 months old. Thanks!

Hey there. First time parents, and here is what we already have:
wipes
diaper rash cream
baby lotion
baby body wash
baby oil
cotton squares
nail clippers
baby brush
Can you suggest anything else? We are set with the first aid stuff and medicine, just wanted to make sure we are well stocked with the grooming supplies. Thanks!

I was wanting to know is this feeling normal? I am not saying that I feel he would abuse our child or anything I am worried that he wont know what the heck he is doing!! and hurt her!!…I was raised around children my sister had a baby when she was 13 so I know alot but he on the other hand has no experience….like he didn’t know that you don’t bath a infant with regular soap…or that you don’t wash there clothes with adult detergnant…and that you don’t heat bottles in the microwave….. I had this crazy dream he did that and scolded her mouth and I also had a dream he fell down the stairs with her lol……the last dream I had was that he put her in a swing and set the speed to high and she flew out the window…am I being irrational or is this a common fear? I love my husband so much!!! but I am a little nervous or marriage is great we don’t have any problems or trust issues except this one lol

It should be fine, they make the baby sunblock thats a higher spf and also a more gentle lotion. though the 30spf should be fine, but i would put higher spf on a baby

When I was little, my aunt used to use soap instead of shampoo when she was bathing me. Is it only supposed to be used when your a baby? Or can you still do it?

I’m little over 3 months now, and IM starting baby shopping for a few reasons…the main reason is …when i was pregnant with my first son i had sever back problems from early on, and wasnt able to walk around much. So im playing it smart this time and getting stuff while i can:) Soo…here’s the question, Im trying to think of things that i could get early on, im saving the big stuff (crib, stroller, playpen) til later on. here’s what i have so far.
-Blankets, few clothes, soothers, hats, bathtub, (baby lotion and all that smelly stuff lol) diaper bag, face cloths, soap, some baby wipes, bottle kit….i forget what else i bought:S lol but anyway ….mother’s..Ladies…woman with children, what did you buy early on? give me some idea’s..like i said im saving the big stuff til later.
Its been 5 years since ive had a kid!!!!!!! I forget everything i need for a baby lol gimme some idea’s thanks…more answers the better…K sorry baby shopping just gets me hyper lol

Don’t ya think since there is already currently 2 babies (Fen & Sommer) on the show, 3 babies will be a little much (soap shows usually don’t like having too many “small ones” on their shows) and they will let Victoria’s baby die in the “up from the ashes” storyline?
