Baby Beauty Brands Adults Love

When I was pregnant with my first child, I went a little overboard buying baby beauty lotions and potions. I didn't factor in that a tiny human won't be running through products as swiftly as a fully-formed adult. I also failed to factor in that a baby often just needs one product to function as a body wash, shampoo and conditioner. In fact, you may even run your baby a bubble bath and use the soap from that to wash your baby's skin and hair. (Unless they pee in the tub, which, sigh, any parent will tell you is all too common.)

When your baby is very young you also don't need to bathe them every day. Although many parents do as it helps to create a nighttime routine to lull their baby to sleep. It's also important to minimize the chemicals coming into contact with a baby's delicate skin so it's best to opt for nontoxic, thoughtfully-crafted products (and no, that doesn't always mean expensive).

You may also want to consider using a product on your baby's skin/hair every two to three days until the baby is old enough to crawl and actually get dirty. Obviously this doesn't apply to days when your baby has a diaper blowout, chows down on solids too eagerly or spits up and has milk lodged in the creases of their neck.

So what should you do with all that leftover product? Use it! You'll likely find yourself sharing soap every day with your baby from here on out.
