When did everyone introduce bath products e.g. body wash/shampoo for their babies? I’ve not done it yet as my partner has eczema so I’m nervous I strip babies skin and make it dry

From the very first bath!

I have really bad eczema but have been using Johnson’s baby top to toe body wash and the baby shampoo since his first bath at 3 weeks old as well as the body lotion before dressing him! He’s had no reactions etc

i got told to wait a month by my midwife because there skin is very delicate and don’t want to risk a reaction x

I have eczema and I think showering more is actually better for my skin. You don’t want natural oils on your skin it carries germs that eat your skin and degrade your skin. I have found that the more I wash and the more I mosisturize after I wash the better my skin feels and looks. Get some Castile soap and shower before and after you use it about every other day. So cleanse twice and use Castile soap in between. Your skin will be buttery soft

Or cocoa butter

Don’t use coconut cuz it give you pimples because coconut oil is very thin and easily gets into your pores

From first bath. With both of my kids my first used to be bathed everyday my second is bathed every other day because she had flaky dry skin when she was born but all cleared now and I use epimax as moisturiser x

I have 3 girls and with my last daughter I waited 6 to 8 weeks after she was born ( gave her sponge baths with water only in between if she was stinky / needed ) helped her skin tremendously to not get eczema. My other two had it

I was told so strictly to wait three months for products. But with my first we probably introduced after 6-8 weeks.
First was also bathed every 2-3 days, this second one lucky for a full bath every 5-7 days but does get a sponge bath between!
