Johnson&Johnson Products

Does anyone actually use Johnson products and have anything nice to say about them??
I have been given about 20 + bottles of shampoo/bodywash/bubble bath since my baby shower and all of them are Johnson products, but I’ve heard such negative things about the company.
Anyone actually got any positive experiences and think I should keep them? Or should I just get rid?
I never would’ve bought them myself, but it seems a shame to give them away and spend a load of money on new stuff! Maternity pay is no joke 😮‍💨😮‍💨 would rather save the money if I could!

My HV said avoid J&J like the plague 🫣

Avatar

I really should’ve asked my HV at the 6 week check but I just forgot.
I’ve heard from pretty much everyone to avoid it, and like I said I never would’ve bought it!
Was just hoping I could use it rather than buy more 😢

My HV also asked me to avoid it, if baby isn’t reacting and you feel bad about throwing it maybe just finish it and then buy something else?

You could wait till baby is a little older to use them, or even use them on yourself!

My baby boy got a rash from Johnson baby bath and the doctor had to prescribe him a special soap for eczema

Avatar

yes! I was literally thinking oh it can’t be that bad then if everyone’s buying it

Do we know what’s wrong with it?? I have been using it on my LO as we got lots as gifts but didn’t realise it was bad for them! 💔

I don’t think it’s necessarily bad for them!
I’ve heard it’s just not very naturally made and is full of a lot of perfumes and other chemicals so it can be really harsh on the skin.
I’ve heard of lots of babies reacting to it or having quite dry skin.
If your baby isn’t reacting to it then you’ll be fine, you’re not harming them by giving it to them.

Thank you Joss!! I panicked a little when I saw these comments! I will look for an alternative when I have finished my bottles! Xx

child's farm was recommended by my HV, or Aveeno

Aveeno baby is amazing 😉

We love using their products. I feel bad that’s it’s not good for him tho! He seems fine though. 😭

I scanned the Johnson and Johnson baby bath soap on the Yuka app and it came back as hazardous so there’s no way I’m using it on my baby. I’ve just been using it myself in the shower so it doesn’t go to waste.

I was gifted a few J&J shampoo bottles, I use them to wash my make up brushes lol 😅

Get rid! They’re still testing on animals! 😱

The shampoo smells soo good 😅. Our LO hasn’t had any reactions to it and his skin hasn’t dried out. I guess it depends on your baby 😊.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

I bloody hate reflux!

How much milk would you say this is?( after a 6oz bottle) My 3 month old is bunged up, full of yet another cold and it's made her reflux worse.

She's already on gaviscon but that's the most shes ever spat up in one go. She's also been teething for the last few weeks too 🙄
