I am due to have my baby boy soon, wondering whats the best baby products to use on my newborns skin? (Bathwash,soap,Wipes,nappies,rashcream,lotion,etc)
Just water, we used a tiny bit of coconut oil in his bath when he was a couple of months. Stay clear of Johnson and Johnson products. Carly
Try not to use Johnson n Johnsons products they are not very good for bubs skin at all. Kristy
Organic coconut oil for moisturizing and massaging (and they smell so yummy!), pawpaw ointment for nappy region, Lanisoh (lanolin) for sore nipples – and its great for chapped lips! Leoni
My little one has very sensitive skin and eczema. I found the best products for her so as to not dry her skin out were QV bath wash, oil and moisturiser. Curash nappy rash cream I have found to be the best and the wipes too. Although I use large flat makeup pads with water rather than wipes. Don’t forget that the best thing for baby’s skin is nothing unless necessary! Oh and definitely huggies nappies. Jess
Curash wipes and powder are fantastic. We use the fragrance free wipes (pink packet), as it’s the only one our son doesn’t get a rash with. Steer clear of pretty much all Johnson & Johnson bath stuff… A lot of chemicals and a lot harsher on bubs skin. For bath wash & shampoo etc, we use Gaia. The products are beautiful and have never had a reaction on bubs skin. (Every time we try to change back to J&J, he breaks out in a rash!). Best of luck. Kylie
We had issues with Huggies wipes. Never had an issue with aldi or target brand wipes, aldi nappies, never had issues with Johnson baby bath/wash, vitamin e cream and baby sorbolene (Johnson brand) are great, nappy cream I generally use breast milk. But bepanthen works good and so does the curash brand. If you find anything gives bub a rash/rash flares up n gets worse just use breast milk as much as possible. Our DS had bad cradle cap and everything gave him a rash and nothing worked for him except breast milk, also good for milk pimples/baby acne. Breast milk is great for pretty much every ailment lol. If not breastfeeding tho, don’t worry. Something is sure to work. If u can’t find any wipes that don’t give bub a rash, water on a soft microfibres cloth is the way to go. Pain in butt for cleaning but great for cleaning little butts we used water for baths etc until he was older then used bath products. Ps congrats and just go with the flow. Jys
I use chux I just put them under warm water squeeze the water out and keep them in a glad bag as advised by a midwife coz bubs got red from wipes!! Sarah
Olive oil in the bath and on skin- avoid any other commercial products for a while, no soap, use face washers instead of wipes- cheaper and heaps better for their skin, I use sudocream or curash cream. If you want disposable nappies, I like the aldi ones. Jessica
Just water and cotton wool for cleaning their bottom, and plain water for a bath maybe with olive oil or coconut oil if skin is dry, or coconut oil for nappy rash . anything else is too harsh for brand new skin. Rachael
I love the curash oatmeal range, particularly as my dd has sensitive skin but I definitely recommend the huggies wipes! You can often get samples of products from the hospital, chemists or baby shops and see which ones suit your baby before you buy good luck!! Casey
I love moo goo products from chemists. Beautiful. I find huggies wipes to be best, aldi nappies are pretty good, and sudocrem is a really good nappy rash cream. Rachelle
Newborns don’t need soap! It’ll dry out their skin and they don’t do anything to require heavy washing. Also wont need nappy rash cream or powders until they’re older. Lotion also not a necessity. Nappies an wipes I go with huggies and curash no fragrance. Claire
QV bath wash and for everything else coconut oil (nappy rash, cradle cap. Moisturiser). Letisha
Just water is best for baby’s skin in first few weeks but I don’t feel like she’s clean so add a drop of top to toe wash (johnsons) to her bath water… I also use coconut oil on her skin. Pampers or Aldi nappies best IMO… And cotton wool, water, baby lotion for changing bottom until six wks then johnsons extra sensitive wipes xxx Good luck with baby Xx Donna
Sudocream (nappy rash) curash wipes buggies nappies, Hamilton oil (if they have cradle cap or dry skin! Stay away from Johnston products too many chemicals!! Goodluck! Lisa
Aldi’s nappys are by far the best. Kylie
Pure water and Gaia products are my go-tos. I use Huggies newborn and Bambeco natural baby wipes (Gaia also make great wipes). Sudocrem nappy rash cream works for my daughter so far. Carolyn
baby paw paw bath lotion, can buy it at the chemist warehouse! Also use baby paw paw for his bum, you can get this in the baby section at woolies!!! Lynsey
When first born we only used warm water. After a month or so we started using qv sensitive. It seems gentle and doesn’t seem to affect her, even though she’s now sucking on the wash cloth at 7 months. Stirling
Arbonne abc skin care range is kind and gorgeous for the skin. I am an arbonne consultant because I fell in love with the baby products after using it on my son. It’s super gentle and vegan. Nappy rash cream I swear by daktozin nappy rash cream. Kimmy
Natural Instinct has a hair and body wash that I found to be very gentle on my newborns skin. Johnson&Johnson products dried it out badly until he was a little older. There is also a PawPaw body wash you can get from the chemist that smells divine! Gretel
I try not to use anything on that beautiful baby skin where possible… use olive oil on cotton wool wipes if he gets nappy rash and I use Moo Goo milky wash in the bath sometimes, which is a natural cleanser. Catherine
Nothing! Just use water. I’ve had three babies and never used any lotions, potions, soaps or products on ANY of them! (Well, once they turn two boys can start to get a bit smelly…but until then you’re home clear!) just buy some lovely soft face cloths. Sarah
Gaia is great for all aspects. Little chemical in their products but qv is good for bath n shampoo too. Moo goo products aldo natural and wonderful for bub. I make my own wipes google recipes for it you won’t regret it. Nappies I do aldi by day cos they are cheaper n you change often. Huggies at night cos they hold more. Kristy
Reusable wipes, olive oil, coconut oil. Claire
Please don’t use Johnson and Johnson products, they are way too harsh. Gaia and Brauers are both great and you can get them from the supermarket. Tanya
I use alpha Keri wash and lotions, curash wipes, huggies nappies. Sharna
When they are newborns you don’t need bathwash and soap on them, water is fine. But Gaia and Brauers products are lovely, they are natural and Organic and so much nicer on bubs skin. The Gaia wipes & natural Naty wipes are also great, but definitely fragrance free wipes are better for bubs skin. Everyone has different experiences and preferences, you will soon find what you like/ don’t like. Good luck. Georgia
Goat soap for anything bath related (soap, shampoo, lotion etc). I like huggies fragrance free wipes. Or Coles brand fragrance free wipes. Huggies nappies. And I use Sudo cream. Taylor
I’ve been using half a tspoon of coconut oil in the bath. It’s amazing leaves babies skin soft and smooth. Candy
Not Johnson and Johnson. I use qv bath oil and moisturiser, this was recommended to be by mchn. Donna
