Skincare/Bath routine for newborn

Liking this cause I am also confused on what to buy

We mostly use weleda but partly because a family member works there and gets discount! But they are natural products. You might want to stick to water for baths in the early days.

I have just got a bundle from boots of Johnson’s baby products. I got the shampoo, lotion, baby bath (bubbles) and the body wash all for £10 x

Download the On Skin app you can do searches or scan bar codes and it scores the products. Green is best and it rates the products out of 100. Nalas baby, Hipp, Aveeno,Dove come out as best.

Child’s Farm seems to be a cheap but great product and has organic ingredients. We also used Weleda last time, Green People and Neal’s Yard.

Aveeno as it is paediatrician and dermatologist approved x

I’m just planning to use water in the early days. Then will see how we get on with Weleda or Aveeno a bit later on I think x

I think for the first month it’s recommended to just use water, no creams apart from nappy cream as your babys skin is adjusting to what it needs to do outside the womb to stay hydrated etc, but we have gone for aveeno once we use bodywash etc

Download Yuka app on your Apple Store, then go to boots and scan the products barcodes and it tells you the ingredients and the percentage of how safe they are. Childfarm, welda, nala, Mustela has very high rating ranging from 85%-100% meaning they are very good. The app is a life saver
