Hi ilites What do u use for u'r baby?I use just head to toe body wash for my 1 month old baby,though my ped recommended cetaphil wash and lotion for my baby..Is it safe to use?as I read somewhere that it can be used only for extreme dry skin in babies...
My son has eczema so his dr recommended we use cetaphil wash on him and then use cetaphil body lotion. It works wonders. I never ever put j&j products on his skin ever.
YEs, you can still use Cetaphil. I use it too, Idont have any skin problems but it keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day. Plus babies have senstive skin its always good to over hydrate than under. Go for it I say..you wil lbe nothing but happy. the first day you might wanna use it on his/her hands and feet before applying ot on the face..then if you see no allergies you can feel free to apply it generously all over the body. I would say twice a day would be the best!
The midwives here suggested not to use any soap or lotion body wash! So I havent tried any of them until now. I think the case is a bit different in India, as babies sweat a lot there.
Ramya... Did not about that brand. Just wanted to share....My daughter's Ped too suggested not to use any lotions or soaps for her ! She asked to me wait atleast few more weeks to give her bath !!!
