WHY IS BABY CARE NECESSARY?

  • High-quality child care keeps children safe and healthy
  • In addition,it helps children develop skills they will need for success in school and in their lives outside of school:Social,emotional and communication skills.
  • Baby care is good for not only health it's good for also their mentally growth as well.
  • You can also find baby care assets online or offline so you no need to worry about it

Every Mom strives to give the best to their baby. This is definitely no news. Below is one such list from my own experience on what worked best after trying several products out in the market:

  1. Diapers: Pampers worked best for us. For a peaceful night without any leaks, this did the work. They have age appropriate products for higher absorption/protection etc.
  2. Skin Care: Chicco Baby lotion, No tears Shampoo, Gentle Body Wash & Shampoo work well. Johnson’s Choose Gentle range: Top-to-Toe Baby Wash ( also available in bar !)Baby Lotion & Cream are equally good. All these products are paraben free and hence safe for your precious little ones! The latest Johnson’s Baby Bedtime Range is their latest product for new-borns worth a try! Clinically proven mild and non-irritating.
  3. Shampoo ( for elder kids) : Yet again Johnson’s Active Kids Clean & Fresh
  4. Shampoo.
  5. Formula: Nestle Nan Pro 1 Probiotics Infant Formula suited well for our kid among other products tried. No constipation or signs of allergy unlike some other products that we used. We used this till our little one was 1 year and switched to organic cow milk.
  6. Wipes: Johnson’s Baby Skincare Wipes are alcohol and soap free and very soft for daily usage.
  7. Detergent: Mee Mee Baby Laundry detergent is a very good mild baby laundry detergent. Leaves a soft fragrance on the washed clothes.
  8. Bottle Cleaner: Baby Hug Multi-purpose Cleanser is good for washing the feeder bottles, utensils etc.
  9. Feeder Bottles: Chicco infant feeder bottles worked well among the rest tried.
  10. Bottle Sterilizer: Once again Chicco

7 Things You Should Do Before Buying Skincare Products for Your Baby


You want to keep your baby as far away as possible from rashes and allergies, right? This is why it is best to educate yourself before making a purchase. Here’s how you can do so.

1. Read the labels carefully

  1. Buying skincare products for babies can sometimes be a nightmare for new parents. There are so many products out there in the market claiming to be the “best for baby skin” that you will have a hard time settling for one. The pretty packaging doesn’t help. We usually get swayed by hard-to-pronounce ingredients and claims that may or may not be entirely true. However, when it comes to your baby, it’s best to stick to products that are as close to “natural” as possible. Read the labels of the products carefully and avoid buying products that contain dyes, and chemicals like parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, as they may harm your baby. You can consider Tender Touch Baby Body Lotion by Lotus Herbals baby+. The olive butter and calendula extract used in this lotion can nourish your baby’s skin, making it soft and supple and retaining any lost moisture. Plus, it is also free of preservatives and phthalates and has a pH value of 5.5. You won’t have to worry about your baby’s skin drying out, either.


2. Make sure that your baby is not allergic to the ingredients used in skincare products.

  • Your baby’s gentle skin may not be tolerant of some chemicals. Look for signs of allergies in your baby whenever you apply a new lotion or other baby product on him. If you had discontinued a product previously, look for any ingredients that may be repeated in the new product and research a little to avoid allergic reactions. To make sure no harm comes your baby’s way, check whether the baby products you are considering are tested for allergies or not. The safest option would be to opt for natural products that are free of harmful chemicals; this way, your baby’s skin will stay soft, and you won’t have to worry about allergies.

3. Look for natural/herbal products.

  • A lot of chemical-laden products may lure you in with their fruity/ floral or other delicious scents and texture but it is best to practice caution. A prudent choice would be going for natural products, of course. However, not all products that claim to be natural are so. Look for products that contain no preservatives, petroleum products or byproducts. Eternal Love Baby Massage Oil by Lotus Herbals baby+ is a natural product that is enriched with olive oil and sweet almond oil. This massage oil is free of preservatives and is even tested for reactions on sensitive skin. You can apply this oil and gently massage your little one before or after his bath, and watch him wiggle in glee!


4. Check for the efficacy of products.

  • How does one check if a product is effective before buying it? By making sure that the products you are considering for your baby are dermatologically-tested and approved by pediatricians too – after all, doctors know best. Any product that gets a ‘go-ahead’ from a doctor is usually safe to use. If you are still skeptical about brand claims, check reviews by other moms to get an honest opinion of the product.

5. Steer clear of artificial fragrances.

  • True, fragrances are soothing but can also irritate your little one’s skin. Skincare products manufactured today contain synthetic fragrances, which are added to mask the nasty smell of the chemicals used in them. If you use scented products for your baby, the scent may linger for hours and may actually cause respiratory issues in your little one. Look for products that have mild to negligible fragrances; especially for sensitive areas like your baby’s diaper area. To avoid diaper rash, consider a gentle product like Happy Bums Diaper Rash Creme as it free of artificial fragrances and also contains calendula, which is known to soothe existing irritants causing your baby discomfort. No more troublesome rash for your little darling!


6. Give importance to quality over quantity.

  • When it comes to buying baby products, we know you wouldn’t want to skimp on quality. Products that are formulated for baby skin are no doubt on the pricier side, but they also promise moisturized and healthy skin for your little one. Instead of buying skincare products in bulk or at a discount, choose the right product and check the shelf life printed on the packaging. Buying in bulk sometimes puts you at the risk of using expired products, which ends up being dangerous as well as a waste of money!

7. Consult a pediatrician.

  • With the multiple tasks you have to handle as a new parent, little choices too can seem like huge ones. If you’re worried about trying new products, your doctor will be your best guide. Consulting a doctor may prove to be useful as he may suggest some products that he deems are best suited for your baby.

ARE JOHNSON & JOHNSON PRODUCTS BANNED IN INDIA???

Johnsons and Johnsons, a  brand of over 125 years , is the most trusted when it comes to baby care products.  No, it is not at all banned in India , these are rumors purposely spread to demean the brand and pull its reputation down. I have been using this brand since a child and have also been repeating the tradition for my son who is 6+ and mildly autistic. I just read in one of the posts here that Johnson's products contain chemicals …well my question here is that is there any chemical-free products? The answer would be a big No. But yes the role of a company is definitely to purify the chemicals, make them mild and hypoallergenic to the skin. The link here would help all out there to understand my point better. https://www.nytimes.com/paidpost/johnson-and-johnson/when-it-comes-to-personal-care-products-is-natural-always-better.html Being a Johnson-mommy I must admit that this brand absolutely does the same and their product contains NO harmful chemicals at all.

PREGNANCY DIET CHART:14 THINGS TO EAT THAT CAN BE GOOD FOR YOUR BABY

  During pregnancy and especially in the first trimester when appetite and eating become challenging, eating right can be a problem for many women. However, this is mainly because most women eat the wrong things and do not provide their body what they really need. Focus on real, whole food and avoid processed, refined meals, which will make you feel sick. So first of all, small meals throught the day are ideal. This keeps the blood sugar leveled and believe it or not, it can make some cravings go away. Then you need fresh fruit and vegetables, ideally organic. Fruit will give natural sugars that will provide immediate energy for the mother and baby, while vegetables will provide more complex carbs and valuable minerals and nutrients. Go for multicoloured vegetables as they contain a variety of antioxidants that work synergistically. And try to eat at least one raw salad during the day - cooking destroys many nutrients. A very basic food is healthy fat, again preferably organic. The...
