Should I use body shampoo for my baby? All the while I just rinse with water only. She is 6 month old now. As I read some articles baby doesn't need to use body shampoo. And mainstream baby products contain numerous toxic ingredients that will enter your baby’s body if used. What do you think? If so when should I start using body shampoo for my baby? Which brand will you recommend? http://www.treehugger.com/health/7-chemicals-and-toxins-avoid-when-buying-baby-products.html

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.
