GAIA Natural Baby – Sleeptime Bath

You say: “My baby uses a lot of GAIA products. The sleeptime bath was one of her first bath products and we will definitely be repurchasing in the future. The fragrance is floral but not overpowering. It is quite suitable for an evening bath. It lathers up a little and I use 2 pumps in the bath. I feel that my baby’s skin is cleansed well. There is no need to rinse (but my baby’s skin is quite strong).” – beautyheaven member skincare junkie

QV Baby Moisturising Cream

You say: “My baby has occasional bouts of eczema and QV Baby products, this moisturiser in particular soothes his skin, keeps him hydrated and clears up the exzema faster than anything else I’ve tried. It’s fragrance free, hydrating but not greasy and is absorbed well. It comes in a tub which means he can’t squirt it everywhere if he gets a hold of it, and I can scrape every last bit out.” – beautyheaven member My.Nongy

Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Diaper Ointment

We say: After bathing and moisturising your baby, getting them into some fresh nighttime clothes and a new nappy is next in the sleep routine. Using a barrier cream like this one in your baby’s nappy is always important when changing nappies, to reduce the occurrence of nappy rash.
