Top Natural Baby Care Essentials- Bathing, Soothing & Nurturing
Congrats, you have a beautiful smelling newborn! Well most of the time anyway 😉
Did you know that many baby products and shampoos contain chemicals that are not safe for baby or even us? For example, many baby shampoos (including J&J) have some of the worst chemical ratings around. Baby oil is liquid petroleum oil with some added artificial fragrances. Yuck!
Your baby can have reactions to these chemicals including skin irritation, rashes, and even respiratory issues. Let alone all the long term health issues that may arise from on-goingly using products such as these!
Luckily, natural and non-toxic baby care products are an easy way to protect your little one. We are recommending items that are natural, many organic, and all about keeping both you and baby in mind. They will keep skin hydrated, moisturized, and irritation-free through these first months of life. If you are on a tight budget, you can even use pure coconut oil on baby’s skin if you wish!
Baby Care Products
Here is a list of recommended items you may need to care for your newborn:
- Honest Co. Diapers – The very best disposable diapers I have used. These Honest Co. diapers are non-toxic and safe and best of all- no leaks! You can save 17% if you subscribe to a diaper and wipes bundle. This is super convenient. You will never have to worry that you will run out of these essentials!
- Overnight Diapers – You will find out sooner or later that you will need these!
- Love these Honest Baby Wipes or Water Baby Wipes. Personally I prefer the Honest Co. ones.
- Diaper Genie – Not a must-have, however, it is heaven sent!
- Baby shampoo & Wash – No need to get a shampoo and wash separately. I love these 3 products from Puracy, Honest Co. , Marama Naturals & Babo Botanicals!
- Honest Co. Baby Soothing Balm – This Organic All-Purpose-Balm is an award winner. This super-versatile salve is designed to help soothe dry, sensitive skin and so much more!
Sensitive Baby All Natural Healing Ointment – 4 oz
- Diaper Rash Cream– Love this one from Burt’s Bees Baby!
- Babo Botanicals Zinc Stick and Thinkbaby Sunscreen – Both of these are non-toxic and great!
- Baby Bath– This makes life easier, otherwise you can always use the kitchen sink! This tub in particular is great because it can be used for toddlers too. More bang for your buck.
- Infant Grooming kit – Of course, this is a must-have!
- Washcloths – If you do not already have some, these are great for baby.
