How-to: look after your baby's delicate skin

Product picks to give your little one a great start to life

A baby’s first year of life is when their skin is at its most vulnerable, so it makes sense that you invest in quality products that you know are going to care for your bubba’s delicate epidermis. Having worked in the baby industry for a while now, I am deeply versed in the world of pregnancy, birth and bubs. So, from my ‘insider knowledge’, here are my favourite three brands for giving your little one’s skin the best start to life.

AVEENO® Baby range
Most of you will know Aveeno for its quality women’s skin care range. I use AVEENO® Active Naturals Positively Radiant Eye Illuminator everyday to con everyone in to thinking I am a morning person. So, I would absolutely recommend the AVEENO® Baby range for any young guns’ skin. Not only is the range lush and inexpensive, but it also uses colloidal oatmeal to protect, soothe and reduce discomfort to your little one.

Top picks: AVEENO® Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream Fragrance Free and AVEENO® Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash.

Johnson’s TOP-TO-TOE
I was a Johnson + Johnson Baby. In fact: my whole family were (even my cousins). The smell epitomises childhood to me and is on constant repurchase in my beauty cupboard (shhh… that's my little secret to smoothe, sweet-smelling legs), so I know from personal usage that it’s a range that offers your skin protection and suppleness.

Johnson’s has most definitely come a long way since my heyday, and has become even more quintessential with the introduction of its Top-to-Toe range: a range ‘mild as pure water’, that was formulated for newborn bubs’ eyes and skin. Throw it in your trolley next time you’re roaming the aisles of the supermarket.

Top picks: Johnson’s baby Top-to-Toe bath and Johnson’s baby Bedtime Lotion.

Milk & Co Baby
Quality and organic ingredients don't get any better than the Milk & Co Baby range, founded by Lindy Klim. Lindy says: “I wanted to create a product that was affordable, looked good in the home and that was beneficial to the enhancement of wellbeing.”

And she has done this in spades. Giving your baby the best start to life is a mother’s ambition, but sadly it isn’t always achievable. Milk & Co Baby allows just this, with its use of natural ingredients that protect your little one’s skin from the elements, and enables them to have to soothed, fresh skin; always, and at a supermarket price point.

Top Picks: Snotty Grotty Room Spray ($24.95) and Bath time Wash ($22.95) - www.milkskincare.com

I have used spell casting to get my ex husband back to me and also get pregnant with twins girls through the help of a great and trusted spell caster after 12 years of marriage.

When I came online last year, I met a testimony about Priest ODUNGA who has been helping people and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and later he gave me his Whats App number which is +2348167159012 and he assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. My husband left me because I was unable to give him a child for 9 years after our marriage. There was no contact between us anymore and I didn't know how to get to him. Priest Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contacting Priest Odunga. Soon I received a herbal medicine for fertility from this man, I became fertile. I and my husband reconnected that very week, had sex and I became pregnant. Today, I am happy today to be the mother of twins girls and this is ALL THANKS TO PRIEST ODUNGA. I came online to say this If you need help, I believe you are saved with this spell caster. Contact his email at (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) and you too will give a testimony too to help others

I do always use baby oil on my baby's skin after the shower.

I wont use the Johnson's on my baby's precious skin, I prefer to use the more natural based ingredient products.

I use Cetaphil on my daughter now she is a bit older but have always loved Johnson's Baby

PawPaw ointment is great. Can be used for cracked skin, nappy rash, lip balm, bites...the list goes on.

I just used Johnson & Johnson prodz when my daughter was a baby but I wish they had the amazing brands they have these days.

ray_jay 8 Jan 2013 5:27 AM

I saw some more Johnson products the other day that I thought were new, but I could be wrong

ModernGypsy 6 Jan 2013 7:05 AM

My mum always uses Johnson's products on my little brothers. One is 6 months old and when ever he has a bath at night she uses the night time oil, he loves it, always puts him to sleep.

I dont have a baby, but sudocrem is awesome, not only for babies but also pimples!

My 3 'babies' are all in their late teens now, but they were Johnson's babies! Last few years I've been into natural products and I've heard the best thing to bathe babies (especially newborns) is to put oats (simple rolled oats, breakfast cereal!) into a muslin bag, tie it up and swish it around in the bath water or hang it over the tap and let the running tap water flow through it. More recently I've discovered an amazing face sponge from 100% natural Konjac vegetable (potato!) plant root and been used in Japan for over a century. KUU Konjac Pure Sponge - and I see they make one for babies (ideal for every new baby and child) and you use it all over the babies skin - no need for any soap/cleansers. And at $8.95 and lasting 2-3 months with normal daily use, very economical. Now, that's what I'd been using and I've even given one to my younger sister-in-law expecting in February! Definitely worth checking out for all new mums http://www.kuukonjac.com.au/products/konjac-for-baby/konjac-baby-sponge/
