When my baby was born, our pediatrician forbid the use of lotions and creams and colognes on my baby. But when my baby was a month old, she developed some sort of rash on the skin behind her legs. Since she was not sitting yet, we suspected it was because of different people carrying her around in our store. We stopped letting her be carried by other people and the rashes also dried up. But it left her skin dry and uneven. It felt rough when we ran our fingers on it. So I asked my doctor if we could use something to moisturize the area and she allowed us to use Nivea Baby Soft Cream. This p...

Our kids each received an LL Bean Camp Critter towel for Christmas last year.  I thought it was such a creative and cute gift I plan on purchasing one as a gift in the future. The towels are very large (53 by 27 inches) and you can wrap up a small child with ease (they recommend this for ages up to 8 years).  Each towel has a hood that looks like an animal, and a matching fuzzy tail and paws at each corner.  There is a green frog, a brown bear, a pink bunny, and a brown and white dog. These towels are very soft and durable.  Ours have already stood up to dozens of washin...

Before my baby goes to sleep, I make sure that she freshens up. Either a half, sponge or full bath so that she will not have trouble sleeping.  I make sure that Johnson's baby bedtime powder is also applied.This powder actually contains lavander and chamomile. For aromatherapy, lavander actually has a sedative effect which calms the person who gets to smell it. It will help you relax your body thereby if you use this before going to sleep you'll end up sleeping like a baby should.Like her father, my daughter has a tendency to snore which I believe to be hereditary on their side...

My daughter is VERY picky about her hair even at the ripe old age of 6!  We have tried many different types of shampoo, from cheap to expensive and from baby to adult. Nothing ever quite seems to satisfy this child. One of her major issues is the scent of any bath product she uses. Some of the more overly scented shampoos irritate her allergies and others cause her scalp to itch. Shampoo shopping for this child is a nightmare in itself.One day while in Wal-mart staring at the endless row of shampoos and conditioners in the aisle she spotted an eye catching orange bottle with a Tucan on...

My baby at one time had rashes on her face. It was not determined how she got it, but I believe it was food allergy. One pediatrician recommended using Novas Hypoallergenic Baby Bath Soap on her face.I was not aware of Novas before the doctor told me about it because this product is not being advertised. So I went to the drugstore to buy one, as it is not available in grocery stores and supermarkets. It is a medicated soap.It is clear without any scent, so I really believe it is a very pure soap. According to the label it is mild and "does not alter normal pH balance of delicate skin.&...
