cmyamamo says "The best!" about Mustela Mustela Foam Shampoo

cmyamamo — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 23:43:11 GMT

Mustella is a great brand that I feel good about using on my daughter. I received a bath set for my shower and am now hooked on it. The quality is worth the price tag.

My daughter has sensitive skin and I have to be careful about what I use on her. The foam shampoo works great. It smells amazing, like a baby should smell! Yet it isn't overpowering. It also doesn't bother her skin, which is the most important thing.

One bottle lasts a very long time. Granted my daughter has very little hair, but we are still using the bottle we were given at my shower. It's been 1.5 years! A little bit goes a long way! I wash her hair every other day, and this thing really lasts. Like I said, you may spend a bit upfront, but it lasts a long long time.

I love Mustella products so much that I now give them out for shower gifts. They make a baby smell like a baby should smell, fresh, clean, and babyish!

Joe1019 says "The Best" about Coppertone Water Babies Sunscreen

Joe1019 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:29:51 GMT

When summer came around, we knew we would be taking our 1+ year old, not always to a pool, but outside for walks, to the park or letting her run around outside. Not only that, she is very fair-skinned as opposed to me and my wife. There are so many products out there to chose from and can be overwhelming for a parent. Friends of ours had it and we loved it for many reasons. Actually, the friends that had it, had children with skin issues like eczema or sensitive skin so we knew it had to be good. First of all, our pediatricician, who has children, recommended it. Secondly, it is waterproof and lasts for a couple of hours if your child is in the pool. It comes with many different SPF's, for those parents who want or need something specific. Also, you can buy it in the spray, but we do prefer the creams. The smell is fine, like other sunscreens or lotions and not offensive. The price is reasonable, but worth it.

mommy1213906 says "great seat" about Safety 1st Tubside seat

mommy1213906 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:56:51 GMT

We bought this bath ring style seat after we were done using the Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders bath tub, because our daughter wanted to sit up in the tub and look around more. This is a great product for baby's that are sitting up. It allows them to play and splash in the water and see things better than if they were sitting or laying in an infant bath tub. The Safety 1st Tubside Seat also has an armrest that hooks onto the side of the tub, both holding the seat in place, and also giving mom and dad a soft place to rest their arm while the little one plays. The arm that hooks onto the side of the tub is adjustable, and quite long, and should fit most tubs. Our tub is quite deep, and it works great it in, and also in my mother’s tub, which is quite a bit smaller, so you should not have a problem fitting it onto your tub. The most important thing is that my daughter enjoys sitting in it. She has more freedom than she did in the other tub, and she doesn’t have to have my hands on her...

zorgkk says "Could get worse, but could be better..." about Safety 1st Convertible Complete Care Bath Tub

zorgkk — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:38:42 GMT

This tub was given to me by a friend. At first glance I thought this was the tub for me. The box describes it as easy to use, fun, safe, easy to clean. NOT REALLY! While it will last for a long period of time for a child to use the downsides are too big for me to tell you that you should spend money on it. Once this bathtub was out of the box I had to figure out how to use just the newborn part, ok, seems easy enough. But then as my son got bigger I need the toddler part. That was tricky at first because there were no real instructions on what to do to get it set up. The worst problem though was being able to move the tub around in the bathtub. I wanted the tub clean for my sons next bath but the suction cups were so suctioned that I kept having problems getting the tub clean. Saftey was ok, and fun is not a word I would use to describe any tub but all in all my tub was free. That was the best part!

joisie1978 says "Foam letters are great way to learn and play at same time!" about Munchkin Munchkin Bath Toy Canister

joisie1978 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:54:31 GMT

These letters are a great buy! They are so bright and colorful and they stick extremely well to the tub and the walls. My 2 year old son loves playing with them so it makes tub time not only fun but also a great way to integrate learning! Even the 7 year old plays with them!

We can spell out all kinds of fun things on the walls and talk about the colors and letters and numbers. They are very durable though he has bit into a few and the teeth marks are permanent but oh well- they still work! These would be a fantastic gift for anyone, even little ones since they are lightweight and foam.

They do tend to stick together when wet of course so I hang them in a net laundry bag in the shower to dry and keep them all together.

Overall, these are a perfect tub time toy, they don't hurt when your kiddo decides they should be an airplane and they stick very easily to many surfaces. A must have for any tub with children!

ddunne1 says "JOhnson's Baby Bubble Bath & Wash is perfect for any baby" about Johnson & Johnson Baby Bubble Bath & Wash

ddunne1 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:34:13 GMT

Johnson's Baby Bubble Bath & Wash is excellent for any baby. It is tear-free, hypoallergic, and smells great!! It is a 2-in-1 deal. It works as a shampoo/body wash, and works as a bubble bath. My daughter has very sensitive skin and some products were irritating her skin, so I started looking for different products and came across this one. It is a newer item of Johnson&Johnson and works well with my daughter's skin. IT doesn;t irriatate her skin at all and it smells great. It isn't expensive and you're saving money by condensing two products into one. I highly recommend this product to any parent for their child!

mamarabby says "We love this!" about Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo and Wash

mamarabby — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:25:28 GMT

We have been using Burt's Bees Baby Bee Shampoo and Wash for our son since he was born eight months ago, and we just love it! It is just sudsy enough, is very gentle on his skin, and smells wonderful! It is nice and mild, and baby smells so yummy after we wash him. His hair is nice and soft, and even when this shampoo has occasionaly gotten into his eyes it has never irritated them, even a little bit. The cap stays closed with no trouble, and the circumfrence of the bottle fits well in a slippery-washing-your-baby hand. I like that a little bit goes such a long way! It is pricer than your typical big-name baby wash, but it is all natural and does not have lots of fillers like those products. We have bathed our son with this about three or four times a week for eight months, and the bottle is still almost half full! I am a huge believer in using as natural a product as possible for baby, and this fits the bill.

MRSverret says "Okay product but may cause eye irritation and it's expensive" about Earth's Best Organic Shampoo and Body Wash

MRSverret — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:11:25 GMT

About 2 weeks ago I purchased Earth's Best Organic Shampoo and Body Wash. I was really excited about trying it. Although it was expensive, I didn't mind because of all the good things about this wash.

The wash has a lavender scent and can be used as body wash or shampoo. It's a tear free formula but they recommend not getting it in baby's eyes. It contains 70% organic ingredients and contains Beta-Glucan. The gentle formula is hypo-allergenic and has no parabens. Some of the ingredients include Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Panthenol, and oat oil.

I paid around $7 for the small 8.5 oz bottle. One of the best things with this wash, besides the ingredients, is the bottle. I love it. It's a slender bottle which is easy for me to hold and it has a flip-top cap. All you do is press a button on the cap and it flips open. This means I can open it with one hand and not mess up my nails or hurt my fingers!

The wash is a little thin but it's not watery. It lathers up okay but it's not the greatest....

Skylarsky says "This stuff was heaven sent" about Johnson & Johnson Soothing Naturals Soothe & Protect Balm

Skylarsky — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:07:31 GMT

Johnson & Johnson Soothing Naturals Soothe and Protect Balm is a great product!

We live in Colorado and endure the cold dry winters that are rough on babies skin. The balm is the only product I have used that gets results quickly. Very easy to apply, pleasant scent and does not sting extremely dry cheeks, chapped chins from drooling or chapped hands from sucking. I've used it on my own dry cuticles, lips and knuckles. We call it, "The Face Stick" in our house.

It is difficult to find in stores so if you find it buy two at once even though it goes a long way, I've misplaced one and I always worry that J&J will discontinue since I have not been able to find it in the stores anymore (I have found online however).

klkasoff says "No to tears, no to tangles, yes to curls on my toddler" about Johnson & Johnson No more tangles shampoo + conditioner for curly hair

klkasoff — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 21:15:47 GMT

Johnson and Johnson's Shampoo + Conditioner for Curly Hair can be found in use during our daily bath routine. My toddler has outgrown the effectiveness of baby shampoo but can take advantage of the gentleness of this product. The multi-purpose formula (shampoo and conditioner in one) saves money because we are getting two products for the price of one. (We haven't tried the store-brands but I'm sure they work just as well, for those on a strict budget.) It also saves time because you don't have to wash out the shampoo then apply the conditioner, it's all together. We had previously tried the standard shampoo and conditioners but because her hair is so curly, we needed something more individualized to her hair type needs. We especially like the fact that its "no more tears and no more tangles." If your child has curly hair, please try Johnson and Johnson's Shampoo + Conditioner for Curly Hair!

AngiBowman says "Sounds Great but not really" about Orajel Plaque Revealing Pre-Brush

AngiBowman — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:45:34 GMT

On the surface, this looks like a great idea. All you have to do is put it on a toothbrush and your child can have a guide for brushing. It sounds like shaving gel while shaving. When it comes to teeth, you can't go wrong with doing a great job.

But here's the reality: it's blue. It stains. It takes forever for your child to wash it out of his mouth. It did absolutely nothing for my son other than ruin a few PJs with a nice big stain. Since my son isn't really tall enough to even reach our mirror, it's even more worthless to our cause!

When it comes to making sure your child brushes his teeth, in the end there's going to be nothing better than just a toothbrush, toothpaste, timer and a parent. This pre-brush is still no excuse to leave a child alone to brush his teeth until he is old enough and proves that he has mastered it.

Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money on this product. Just use plain old toothpaste and you'll be able to achieve the same amount of cleanliness without...

MRSverret says "Pamper your little one with a massage!" about Johnson's Bedtime Touch Massage Gel

MRSverret — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 20:38:48 GMT

I've alway heard that massaging your baby can relax your baby and help build bonds stronger. Since I've never had a chance to take a baby massage class I picked up Johnson's Bedtime Touch Massage Gel instead.

In a bottle you get 5 fl. oz , the cost is around $4. The gel isn't too thick, I think it's perfect. It glides over your baby's skin. When using it, it releases NaturalCalm essences, a patent-pending blend of gentle and soothing aromas. It doesn't say what the smell is but I can definitely smell lavender and chamomile. This is a smell that would relax anyone. As I looked through the ingredients two of them stood out. This massage gel has hydrogenated castor oil and olive oil. Both of those are suppose to be good for skin and make it soft.

To use just squeeze a small amount into your hand then gently massage your baby. I recommend just finding out what your baby likes. I'm sure they will let you know! My son, as a baby, loved this stuff. I still occasionally give him massages but...

SpokaneMan says "The Best Baby Powder For That Clean Baby Bottom." about Johnson & Johnson Baby Powder with Aloe & Vitamin E

SpokaneMan — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 03:50:03 GMT

Baby powder is a way of life for any parent that has to change a lot of diapers, and as a father who has to change dozens of diapers a week for my daughter, baby powder is a requirement at the diaper changing station. There are many different reasons to use baby powder when changing diapers, but there are two that stand out above the rest for me personally. The first is that it helps to absorb any wetness that is left behind by the wipes we use, and the second is that the baby powder has its own smell, so you can easily check the baby diaper without even looking inside.

Johnson's Baby Powder has become our brand of choice, and I don't see us changing gears when it comes to this product anytime soon. More specifically, we use the Johnson's Baby Powder that has aloe and vitamin E inside of it, which is much gentler on the baby. The Johnson's Baby Powder has a base of cornstarch, and its key use is to deal with any moisture that may have been left behind when changing a diaper. ...

MRSverret says "Fun for bath time" about Munchkin Hot Safety Duck Tub

MRSverret — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:58:48 GMT

Originally,I purchased the Munchkin Hot Safety Tub especially for on the go. It would be too much of a hassle to have a baby bath tub everywhere he went. But once my son used it once, he wanted his duck tub all the time!

For around $10 you get a giant yellow, inflatable duck tub. The recommended age is 6 -24 months and babies must be able to sit unassisted. My son has already outgrown this and he's 17 months.

The Munchkin Hot Safety Bath Tub comes equipped with a hot sensor on the bottom to let you know when the water is too hot. And when you press his beak, he gives out a loud "quack, quack!". On the bottom is a large suction cup so when you're finished bathing your little one just stick it onto the bath tub wall and let it dry. If you need it for on the go just fold it up once it's deflated.

To inflate it is rather easy and doesn't take too much time. Once it's blown up the duck becomes the perfect place for bath time. Because it's inflatable, it provides a soft and comfortable...

Katrena says "Angel of Mine Baby Shampoo with Camomile Hurt My Kid's Eyes" about Angel of Mine Baby Shampoo with Camomile

Katrena — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 17:41:42 GMT

I noticed that Family Dollar was carrying a new shampoo: Angel of Mine Baby Shampoo with Camomile. Being the savvy saver that I am, I decided to give this less expensive version of baby shampoo a try. I have tried Johnsons baby shampoo with success--it truly is tear-free and it doesn't have a smell.

This Angel of Mine Baby Shampoo with Camomile looks very similar to the name brand with a bottle that is similarly shaped with a yellow flip-top lid. The shampoo is yellow and seems to have a similar consistency to other baby shampoos we have tried. I have three daughters (8, 5, 2), and they all have very sensitive skin and eyes, and I've just continued to use baby shampoo with them.

What I noticed first was that this shampoo has a smell. I wouldn't really call it a bad smell or even a baby smell. I guess it's a camomile smell. I would say that it lathers about average for a shampoo--nothing to write home about but it does make some suds. It doesn't condition hair very well, but baby shampoos...

SpokaneMan says "This is a Great (and Safe) Tub For That Growing Baby!" about The First Years Sure Comfort Deluxe Newborn to Toddler Tub with Sling

SpokaneMan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:44:34 GMT

After using the Summer Infant Baby Bather for we had to move up in size when our baby got to six months and was too big for the first one. We were gifted one of these Sure Comfort Deluxe tubs, which can be used for both newborns and toddlers. Our daughter took to the new tub right away, and with the added freedom and space of this new tub also came the fun she now has with bath time. It isn't so much a chore anymore as a time to bond between us and the baby, and this is a great tool to have on hand during that process.

This is another very affordable bathtub to have around the house, but it isn't quite as baby safe as the Summer Infant Bather. The reason for that, is that when you move to a real tub such as this one, your baby is already more energetic and mobile, making bath time a process where the parent has to be even more vigilant about what the baby is doing. As long as you place the baby in the tub correctly, they are going to be perfectly safe, just make sure to always...

SpokaneMan says "The Summer Infant Baby Bather Was Great For Our Newborn." about Summer Infant Baby Bather

SpokaneMan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 00:29:54 GMT

Fresh out of the hospital, we needed something that would serve as a great tool for bathing our newborn baby at night. What we came upon was the Summer Infant Baby Bather, which turned out to be a great tool to wash the little one. The biggest selling point to us was the fact that it seemed safe for a little baby, but the price was also something that we didn't frown upon. We were able to purchase the Summer Infant Baby Bather for less than $20.00, and I must say that we really got our money's worth out of this baby bather.

As you can see from the product photo for the Summer Infant Baby Bather, it is tilted at an angle to help wash the baby easily. We used it in the bottom of our bathtub at home during bath time, and merely set the bather in the bottom of the tub to begin washing the baby. The mesh construction of the liner sinks the baby into the bather slightly, and allows for her to still have mobility while basically being held in place. This is to keep the baby from...

ebaltzell37 says "Keeps delicate skin from getting dried out" about Johnson & Johnson Vanilla Oatmeal Bodywash

ebaltzell37 — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:35:10 GMT

Our son was born in September of 2007 and up until then had never had issues with dry skin for our older daughter. We tried several types of baby wash for him (he has mild eczema) and I finally found this Johnson & Johnson Vanilla Oatmeal wash for us to try on him. He is now 2 and we still use this on him with great results. Skin dryness is especially a problem in the winter and this product really helps with keeping the dry patches on his skin from popping up. My husband was concerned that the smell would be "girly" and I was concerned that the smell might be loud or overwhelming, however, neither one of us had anything to be concerned about. The smell is very subtle but nice and we have come to love the way it makes our little boy smell clean...not girly in any way. Also, we have found that it doesn't take a large amount of the wash to get the job done which is great for the pocketbook!

ebaltzell37 says "LOVE LOVE LOVE this baby wash!" about Johnson & Johnson Lavendar Bedtime Bath

ebaltzell37 — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:27:56 GMT

My hubby and I have used the Johnson & Johnson Lavender Bedtime Bath wash on our children since we first had our daughter in 2006. We love the way it is gentle to the delicate skin of babies all the way to how it makes our now almost-four-year-old smell wonderfully clean. The best part about this wash is that it makes babies and toddlers smell clean and that I can typically find it at a pretty good price on sale and using a coupon. We also use this on our 2 year old son and it doesn't make him smell "girly", which was a huge concern of my husband's! We typically buy the large bottle (not sure of the size off the top of my head, but it's HUGE) and it will last us a very long time, which is a huge plus with today's financial concerns and who has time to run to the store all of the time?! Anyway, I would highly reccommend this product to anyone with babies and all the way up to "big kids"!
