Using shampoos and soaps on newborn babies? <br /><br />All of these things are (I'm pretty sure) down to avoiding sensitive skin problems and you're supposed to stick to them for the first six months, which we did. I've recently discovered fabric softener and am loathe to give it up for baby Eleanor, but I have a family history of sensitive skin, so would like to avoid potential problems if at all possible. <br /><br />I wonder if there are things that you are advised to do in America that we don't over here? Might have to do a separate post about this!Coding Mamma (Tasha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17374751246656722167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7319458572799914437.post-16734303458102230922009-08-11T02:53:36.403+01:002009-08-11T02:53:36.403+01:00It is funny how the cotton wool and water seems to...It is funny how the cotton wool and water seems to be a British thing. Here in the US they give you a pack of ordinary Pampers sensitive wipes at the hospital, and people wipe their infants bottoms with wipes from that very first sticky poop!<br /><br />I only heard about the cotton wool and water faff when my mum came to stay and help me with my first baby! I wonder why the difference?! Maybe the hospitals here are in the pockets of Procter and Gamble, but I must admit I was quite happy with wipes, there is enough to do when changing a pooey nappy for the fifteenth time in 24hrs without having to use damp cotton wool to clean!geekymummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10529149669501249892noreply@blogger.com
