Re: Baby's Body Wash

Latha,

I used baby wash for her face,but since I noticed baby acne on her face I stopped using on her face.First I used j&j baby oil to massage her,once I tried almond and milk paste on her face, aveeno body wash.When she got baby acne,I thought she got bcoz of these things I used.Then I stopped completely and now washing her face only by water.

Raj,

I never tried BM on her face, will try it today. We used to bath her daily with Aveeno body wash.Once we noticed the baby acne on her face,we stopped using on her face.Is there any harm to her body if we use body wash daily?Then,Howz Riya doing?

Thanks,
Pinky.

 

Pinky, no matter how safe a product claims itself to be, I still wouldn't trust it. Body washes/soap can strip the body of essential oils and dry the skin if used daily.

A 7 week old doesn't get as dirty as, let's say, a 10 month old, so you really don't need to use soap everyday. If you really want, use a little under the arm pits and groin area. Unless you are in a climate where the baby sweats a lot, I don't think there's any need to use soap everyday.

Riya is doing very well, learning new things each day and keeping us busy. Thanks for asking.
