Use baby wash or very mild soap – the kind that doesn't really lather up – to clean your child for the first 12 months. Skincare products formulated for babies are gentler and less likely to irritate the skin, and babies just don't need the deep lathering effects of regular soap. If your baby has eczema (patches of red, dry, scaly skin, especially on the face and in the bends of the elbows and knees), ask your pediatrician to recommend a bathing and skincare regimen as part of his treatment. Children with eczema can be particularly sensitive to the ingredients in lotion and soap. But even children who don't have eczema can be sensitive to the ingredients in bath products, so call your baby's doctor if he develops a rash or feels itchy.

Try cetaphil baby series, it's pretty good and soft while using too. http://cetaphil.com.sg/product/baby-shampoo/ And you can get free sample from this link to try too, they will send you 1 bottle each if shampoo and body wash to try out too. I got the samples to try and pretty like it. (I'm not this blogger, i just use the link to get free sample too, just receive it on Saturday, no harm applying it right, since it's free too.) http://cetaphil.com.sg/babysamples/?utm_source=Referral&utm_medium=Blogger&utm_content=Jia&utm_campaign=BDJ-Baby-Blogger

I agree that babies do not need shampoo. Unless their head is really oily and grimy or they have poured food all over their hair :-) But water will do just fine or a body wash. However, there are a number of gentle and organic baby products out there in the market that you can use too. Cetaphil, pureen, pout care, curash, original sprout, babyganics, California baby, just to name a few. Most of them are plant based and biodegrabale so they are safe for the baby and for the environment too.

There are innumerable products that are available nowadays in the market. But ever since my baby has born I use homemade body soap and shampoo for her. You can check the link below, may be of help. http://talkitover.in/parenting/mind-the-gap-what-is-the-ideal-age-difference-between-children http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2011/10/19/how-to-make-your-own-homemade-safe-baby-body-wash/

I've been using earth mama angel baby body wash for my lo since birth till now 7mths. bought it cos of its good ratings on EWG database, so it's not so toxic n has very little chemicals. i just squirt a few times into baby's bathwater, only when i feel he is vry dirty then i would squirt it directly on him u can chk out EWG database to compare ratings on baby products

till 6 months of age you really don't need to use any soap or shampoo, unless your baby gets really dirty. after 6 months of age, you can clean her with a gentle baby soap or shampoo. i would suggest go for brands such as Biotique Baby, Himalaya or Cetaphil as these are extremely gentle on their skin.

you can start using body shampoo after your baby is 6 months old, but make sure that you pick the right brand. i personally loved cetaphil for my babies, as it was very gentle on the skin. also, both my babies have dry skin issues, so it helped a lot as well.

Me too. I never used shampoo on babies head. Just body wash and it suffice. After shower ill apply coconut oil as my older boy has eczema. And the dad has a family history of skin conditions as well.

Hi, what oil ur LO using? Is it good.?My LO has eczema too.

I mixed head to toe for babies from Johnson and Johnson & Pureen. All these was used from birth till my eldest is now 8yrs old and my youngest is 8mths old. So far so good though.
