DS has really sensitive skin so i use aveeno creamy wash on him for the body (it doesnt really smell though- so I rely on his body lotion for that) and dove soap on his hair. When he was a newborn I used J&J and it dried him out, so I am thinking when #2 comes I will use something else this time incase shes sensitive like him. What do you use on your newborn that smells good yet is gentle on the skin. also what moisturizer do you use?

I tried a few different J&J products and they all made their skin horribly dry. Now I use Mustela body wash and lotion and I love it - although it is $$$.

for the first 9 months, we used Aveeno fragrance free body wash & lotion.

Now, we use J&J Body Wash (yellow bottle) & any lotion really.

I am leaning toward the mustela products..read some good reviews on them. Is it OK for newborns?

Cetaphil for bath and aveeno or J&J lotion. Also, I use aquaphor on any dry patches.

We use Mustela and DS have very sensitive skin. We tried Aveeno, California Baby and J&J but he had reactions to all of them.

any product with a 'scent' will be drying - something about the phosphates or something is what causes the drying efffect.

we use california baby super sensitive for Em.

I have used them since 6 weeks. I use the Dermo-Cleansing gel, the Newborn foam shampoo and the Hydra Bebe body lotion. Sometimes BRU has deals on them like buy 2 get one free on the Mustela products.
