For Shih Tzu with dry skin and dandruff, tiffany s answered use Baby shampoo, Johnson&Johnson? for porkchop---

for porkchop who answered tea tree oil shampoo, can you give more detail on which brand. Also, dog food what do you choose and where you buy the vitamin and what kind. Thanks alot.For Shih Tzu with dry skin and dandruff, tiffany s answered use Baby shampoo, Johnson%26amp;Johnson? for porkchop---
Well, whatever Tiffany advised - do NOT use baby shampoo on your dog - do not use any shampoo with soap base, it will strip your dog's coat of oil and cause itchy, dry, flaky skin.





Use a good shampoo, soapless and specifically for dogs - HyLite is excellent, used by groomers and people who show their dogs - costs a little more, but goes a long way.





As to good food, a dry with meat listed as the first ingredient, not meat meal or corn meal.


Canidae is excellent - should be close to 30% protein and 18% fat for normal dogs - no artificial preservatives.





Please --- no human shampoo, no Dawn dish liquid - this stuff does a lot of harm to dogs.





As to vitamins, any good multiple vitamin specifically for dogs - go to a Petco or large dog store or search online for one.





Good luck, sorry to butt in, but the idea of human shampoo for your poor pooch really got to me.For Shih Tzu with dry skin and dandruff, tiffany s answered use Baby shampoo, Johnson%26amp;Johnson? for porkchop---
Use Lambert Kay Fresh and Clean Oatmeal Shampoo,alternated with Nova Pearls Medicated Shampoo.Feed a dog food with meat as the first ingredient,no corn,wheat or soy and preferably some fish.You can also add a 1000 mg.soft gel of fish oil or salmon oil to his food everyday,and an egg every other day is great for dry skin,Also,don't bathe him more than once a week or his skin will get even drier.And,you might consider having him checked for thyroid problems,as this can cause dry,flaky skin.
a good shampoo for flaky skin and dandruff is an oatmeal medicated shampoo and conditioner for dogs. you can get the at walmart for a good price. it helps their coats and conditions the skin. i give my dogs salmon oil pills or you can put a tsp of olive oil in their food so it will help with the dryness and flakes.i feed mine lamb and rice wet plus the dry. best of luck i hope this gives you a little idea.
I use head and shoulder on my Shih Tzu, he doesn't scratch him self as much
Whoa, whoa, never use human shampoo on dogs - end of story. OVERbathing is one cause of dry skin - bathing once a month is plenty, especially for dogs whose skin gets irritated.


What are you feeding your dog? It's very posssible that the food is causing the reaction.

Baby shampoo is fine, so is Aveno. I have used Aussie Moisturizing shampoo on a Yorkie with dandruff and it cleared right up. A long haired dog is not the same as a short haired dog. A Shi-tzu has hair just like you and I. You can use human shampoo no matter what other people tell you.

I s Johnson`s baby shampoo good for adults hair?

I wanted to now what benefits we will have if we use johnson`s baby shampoo?I saw is very helpfull for fast grow hair.I s Johnson`s baby shampoo good for adults hair?
I read that baby shampoo isn't good for adult hairI s Johnson`s baby shampoo good for adults hair?
Been using it since I was a baby.
It will make ur hair grow faster, nothing will happen to u if u use it! People just might ask u if y u use it! good-luck!
i personally love it
perfectly fine for all ages.





do not use on dogs or cats.
it kicked the heck out of my hair . dried it real bad. the only baby product i will use is the lotion ..
yes, It does not leave deposits of soap oils or fragrances in your hair which is good for dreadlocks and *gasp* hair growth( no clogged hair pores).
i like it very much but it can be very drying to the hair after a while--while you should change your shampoo every couple of months or so------i really like any kind of baby shampoo cause its gentle and dosent contain harmful additives
Basically it is a gentle shampoo, there are no benefits from it to help your hair grow faster. If you don't like harsh shapoos use this.
I use it all the time because it is very gentle. Reg. shampoo makes my scalp itch. You will have to lather up about 3 times with it. No, it will not make your hair grow any faster.
I think it is good for adults as well. I use it to give my hair a break from conditioners and such. I dont think it will help hair grow, but wont hurt.
key word BABY shampoo
No! It will strip your hair and scalp of all the oil. It does not help you grow hair!
If you have dandruff it will not help, but it will give your hair a soft glow and also smooth it out.


It is very good to use it once in a while.





And remember, no tears.
I use baby shampoo in lavender. It cleans my hair better than some other more popular brands. It makes my hair softer, too.





Less build up good.

Can I use baby shampoo on my babys sponge baths?

she is 11 days old and her umblical cord is still on so its sponge baths right nowCan I use baby shampoo on my babys sponge baths?
Yes, it its fine to use baby shampoo.Can I use baby shampoo on my babys sponge baths?
Well yes of course...baby shampoo or baby body wash...whichever. The umbilical cord is dead tissue, it is not an open wound or anything, so you can put her in her bath and wash her normally, just they say try not to get the cord too wet because it delays it falling off. But you know the best way to make it come off quicker is to pull a big piece of loose cotton wool into like a sausage shape and wet it with medical alcohol...like cleaning alcohol that they use for cleaning wounds. Then wrap it around the base of the belly button. and hold for a few moments. Don;t worry if your baby grumbles or cries...its not out of pain...its because the cleaning alcohol is very cold. The nurse told me this.





Good luck. :)
Sure! Only on her hair of course....


I did w/ my first son. He had a HEAD FULL OF HAIR..*lol. It smells nice and cleanses well. However it's not necessary. Babies don't get that dirty.


Just becareful and test things out. My 2nd son had excema. Shampoo... or ANYTHING scented will break him out horribly. IF this happens.. just stick w/ like cetaphil cleanser or something, but it shouldn't if you've been using a normal baby wash.


Should be fine --- just don't get it around his umbilical cord... dont' get it wet! Which you know already:-)

What are some natural products for baby care? like lotions, shampoo, body wash, oil?

My friend is interested in natural ways and all I know so far is olive oil is good for babies. I was wondering if anyone knows what are some natural ways for baby care? What are some natural products for baby care? like lotions, shampoo, body wash, oil?
I use almond oil to massage my baby and for hair I use coconut oil. Also, you can use almond oil for yourself as well. Almond oil has a natural bleech agent. It gives your skin narishment and shine natural way. You don't need to use any kind of lotion after that.What are some natural products for baby care? like lotions, shampoo, body wash, oil?

My toy poodle is shedding alot of hair i used to use HARTZ puppy shampoo than i changed it to baby shampoo?

he may be blowing his puppy coat and getting his adult coat in.





Poodles do shed.. they shed less than other breeds, but they do shed. I'd watch how much you bathe.. it strips the natural oils from the coat. He should only be bathed if he gets dirty, or when he gets groomed.





Daily brushing will remove shedding hairs, dirty/debris, and help condition the coat and prevent matting.





Hartz products of any kind are crappy. I wouldnt use baby shampoo either.. its meant for babies, not puppies. Go to petsmart or petco and look for a good conditioning shampoo. I like Tomlyn Pearls au lait.My toy poodle is shedding alot of hair i used to use HARTZ puppy shampoo than i changed it to baby shampoo?
here is what i say it might either be a skin disease or it might be needing a vitamen or the shampoo is too strongMy toy poodle is shedding alot of hair i used to use HARTZ puppy shampoo than i changed it to baby shampoo?
I have a bichon, and I thought he was shedding a lot too. Turns out, when I took him to the vet, that he was having skin allergies. I'm such a bad mom that I had noticed the itching and hadn't thought anything about it b/c I had already checked for fleas and found none. I was using the Pearls au Lait, but the vet said it was too irritating to his skin. For white dogs, only bathe about once a month and always use a shampoo and conditioner that says ';soap free.'; We use something from the vet that's oatmeal-based, and he's loads better. We even use it on our papillon now, and I've noticed that it makes her hair shinier. Each bottle is about $17, but using it on a loofah sponge helps cut down on the amount you use at one time. Make sure to tell your groomer about the sensitive skin, too.

  • Can you use baby shampoo to wash your dog?

    My vet said that if you don't have dog shampoo, the only human shampoo you should use is baby shampoo. It's more gentle on the dog's skin.Can you use baby shampoo to wash your dog?
    I do. It's gentle, and it doesn't burn her eyes. I have a terrier with sensitive skin, and the baby shampoo doesn't irritate her. Plus, it smells really nice.Can you use baby shampoo to wash your dog?
    Yes u can.
    Yes you can use baby shampoo, we always use baby shampoo on our dogs faces.


    It is safe because it is so gentle.





    Crystal
    yes you can
    Yes because it is mild and if it gets in its eyes it doesn't sting , I also use it on my horses manes.
    Yes ,you can our vet has told us that its even better than most of the dog shampoos they have on the market.
    Yes but it won't keep fleas adn ticks off otherwise you can but I use human shampoo on my dog first then flea and tick but I would say yes because flea and tick shampoo doesn't work my inside dog get tons of fleas when she goes outside
    YES YOU CAN, BUT TRY MAIN AND TAIL SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER IT DOES WONDERS FOR THE DOGS AND COAT AND SKIN NOT HAVE TO RINSE THE CONDITIONER OUT
    You can, but you shouldn't. Dog Shampoo isn't much more expensive and it's FOR dogs. Human shampoo WILL dry out a dogs skin. I'm a groomer btw, and I know.
    yes you can it makes them smell really niceeeee. Also there are no pet shampoo that keeps fleas off. it may kill them right then but most ppl know for real flea control you should use products from your vet like frontline or advantix. Even if you use baby shampoo don't give them a bath too often or you risk giving them dry skin and itchy skin. gl with your pup :)
    I guess nt will happen.
    if it macks the dog smell good ya y no
    I ues low-smelling shampoos and i use cond. to give her (my dog)mostur and make her butty full

    Do you think its ok to give a ferret a bath with baby shampoo, ferrett shampoo is expensive?

    Probably not...ferret fur and baby hair are very different. I doubt it would hurt the ferret, but it probably won't do a lot of good either. Plus the fragrances might be bad for him or his skin.Do you think its ok to give a ferret a bath with baby shampoo, ferrett shampoo is expensive?
    actually dawn dish liquid is the best, my vet told me that, i am not making it up.. lol although i have also used just pet shampoo on mine too. use the conditioning pet shampoo though, because their skin dries out very easily , you are only suppose to bath them once every couple of months. be careful. i use the dawn to wash the nasty off of mine then the conditioning shampoo for his skin. good luck!!Do you think its ok to give a ferret a bath with baby shampoo, ferrett shampoo is expensive?
    use dove dish washing soap it is animal friendly.....It is often used to clean animals who have been in oil spills...
    If you are going to use baby shampoo, make sure it's diluted.


    My mom used to groom dogs, and used diluted baby shampoo on them.


    But I don't know much about ferrets.
    No tears baby shampoo is okay, but ferrets shouldn't be bathed very often--it strips their natural oils, and they actually smell worse if they're bathed frequently.
    i myself have recently acquired a ferret off a friend who could no longer care for him, i too researched the same thing and found that the general consensus said yes it was acceptable. a mild baby shampoo one such as ';Johnsons no more tears'; is ok for them. i gave it a try and it certainly did no harm to this once stinky male...its not 4 days later and he still smells of baby shampoo lol.

    Is johnson baby shampoo good to bathe dogs in??

    ive always bathed my dogs with jonsons baby shampoo cause its gentle and smells lovely, but really we should be bathing our dogs with dog shampoo made specifically for them.





    The way i see it is that my dog is bathed very very very rarely-only when she really needs it. The occasional bath with jonson's shampoo (that is so gentle you can get it in your eyes without doing damage, and is designed for babies) isnt gonna hurt so long as you wash it out thoroughly.





    Everyone- even my vet has said my dog has one of the best coats he's ever seen. I asked him about using johnsons baby shampoo and he said although it is better to use specially designed dog shampoo, using jonsons baby shampoo wont damage her coat so long as its washed out properly. so there ya are.Is johnson baby shampoo good to bathe dogs in??
    When we first got our pit puppy, we had to use Johnson %26amp; Johnson Baby shampoo, the tear-less kind. Puppy shampoo was too harsh for his dry skin.





    Now that he's a little older, we use a gentle puppy shampoo with conditioner that we got from PetSmart. It's the same price as the baby shampoo, but gets his skin cleaner.





    The baby shampoo is good for young puppies [[younger than 5 months, older than 10 weeks of course]] that have dry skin or skin conditions. Once they are older though, they make special shampoos for dogs that have dry skin, or difficult coats.Is johnson baby shampoo good to bathe dogs in??
    This question makes for a really good debate. As you can see from other answers it's about 50 - 50 yes or no. Some groomers will actually use baby shampoo to groom dogs. YES it can cause problems for dogs skin, NO it will not affect every single dog.





    Most vets and groomers reccomend using a dog shampoo. DO NOT always use flea and tick shampoos as this will cause your dog to have really dry irritated skin. What is most reccomended for dogs is an OATMEAL based shampoo. Like with humans, oatmeal will help clear up any skin issues. However HUMAN oatmeal soap is not interchangeable with CANINE oatmeal soap.





    Baby shampoo can be used on occasion without hurting the dog (i.e. you're completely out of dog shampoo and he/she needs an immeadiate bath). However, dog shampoo is always best to keep any skin issues and dandar issues at bay. If you go to a Pet store they usually have some really good shampoo at a really good price. The shampoo i buy for my dog was $8 for a large bottle, and that has lasted him (an American Bully) for about a year.





    Another thing, bathing your dog too often can also cause skin issues regardless of what soap you use.
    NO. Baby shampoo is formulated for humans. A dog's skin is different and they will end up with itchy, flaky skin. Use shampoo formulated for dogs that has a minimum of chemicals in it.





    Add: Baby shampoo maybe tear free but it still hurts if it is gotten in the eyes. Try it sometime. As for Hartz products...Hartz products kill many animals because they are cheap, you get what you pay for. As for 'flea shampoo'. Regular shampoo and water will kill them just as well. Fleas cannot swim so if you are smart and fill the tub before putting the dog in, there is no where for them to go but down the drain.
    NO TOO HARSH (per my vet). Use a shampoo for dogs, ask your vet. A horse shampoo is also OK, (feed and grain stores-if any are in your area) Horses have very sensitive skin and so their shampoo is gentle%26gt; Most people shampoos are not PH neutral.


    My guy has sensitive skin and I have to buy a special shampoo for extra sensitive skin.
    Should be fine. Really depends on your dogs skin reaction to it. I've used human shampoo for years on different dogs with no problems.





    Just test it and see what happens.





    Right now I use Dawn dishsoap when I bathe my dog. It is strong enough to cut through all of the crap he brings home. I don't bathe him very often, maybe every couple of months. He is a hunting dog, and loves to roll in dead things. The dog shampoos aren't strong enough to cut the smell when he does that.
    No...a dog's ph is different than a human even if it is baby shampoo. There are a lot of inexpensive dog shampoos on the market. If you are bathing to just get a smell out, just about all of the grocery store items are fine. If you are looking to ';cure'; something special, i.e. dry skin, itching, than you may want to go to a local pet store. Good Luck!
    You really should get a shampoo for dogs, since their coat is so different from human hair. I use baby shampoo to clean my dog's face when she gets dirty on her snout or ';forehead';, but never for the body. Of course, if you need to use it just once, it should be fine.
    No it can actually dry out their skin. It is good because it can get in their eyes and will not do harm but I would just go to the pet store and buy dog shampoo. It isn't expensive. Plus dog shampoo makes their coat looks so much nicer.





    DOG shampoo is for DOGS





    BABY shampoo is for BABIES
    I think the best is shampoo that has oatmeal in it. It helps the skin. However, this shampoo is okay. You might want to condition w/ something that is for puppy but, the shampoo should be okay. If you notice flacking skin then switch to something puppy.
    Every once in a while it's fine, the unscented baby shampoo, but generally, you need shampoo formulated for dog. Especially now that we have flea and tick season, you really want to use flea and tick shampoo to help ward them off.
    ya, its fantastic!! no joke, i use it on my poodle, my chiawawa, and my dashund.


    its tear free, so there is no crying, or whinping with my dogs, and it makes trhem smell like clean bathrooms, with a twist of lime.
    I use Pantene Pro-V for the dogs, if anything. I love it too!





    Great for poodles. I have Rottweilers.





    Some people will say no, but odds are, if you go to a dog show, a lot of handlers will use Pro-V.





    I would recommend it to anyone.!!
    NO!!!! they can develop skin allergies (learned the hard way) it may be tear free but not for pets we have perfumes in our items (containing alcohol) which will give them very dry skin they make tear free pet soaps as well. target sell this stuff called just add water a full line and it smells and works great!
    It is not a good shampoo for dogs. It is too alkaline and can harm a dog's skin.





    Get a shampoo especially formulated for a dog's coat.
    Do you have something against dog shampoo that you don't want to use that?





    Dog shampoo is the best for dogs.





    Baby shampoo is best for babies.
    i have heard that it can be good for dogs with sensitive skin dry skin, and it can make there coats feel nice...but like most shampoos a lot of use and it could give the dog dry skin too...sooo yeah
    No. Don't use shampoo etc for humans on dogs.





    Try dog shampoo, bread soda (Rub it in and brush it out, it cleans and deodorizes) or dry shampoo.
    Better to use Hartz Mountain dog shampoo because it is just as gentle and it contains a mild pyrethrens which kill fleas and will discourage ticks.


    Doesn't cost much and is at any grocery store.
    you need to get DOG shampoo... dog shampoo does not contain soap. this is why it is made for your dogs. other shampoo will dry out their skin and cause them to flake.
    dude, i use head and shoulders on my dog. i just take him in the shower with me, it makes it much easier to wash him
    as long as they don't get a rash. you should test some on their leg first and see what happens. Your dogs skin could get irritated if not tested.
    Yes especially if they are puppies!
    Not shure, but I guess the tear-free thing is good. Still I would buy dog shampoo instead.
    yes actually it's very good because it's tear free and bathing a dog is messy. So yes
    yes, i am at age 30 and use it all the time. it s very good.
    I think so , I used it with my pup cause she was sqwermy and I didn't soap in here eyes
    no! it's not a dog shampoo! they have different skin types then us! it will most likely get really dry!
    yea, they will smell very good afterwards! =)
    i'm not too sure about johnson baby shampoo, but i've learned that joy dishwashing soap works well. good lather, and smells good also.
    yeah i use it as a body wash ha and im 14 it smelllls SOOOOOO good.

    I have blepharitis and eyelid swelling and I know I need to cleanse the lids each night with baby shampoo..but?

    the baby shampoo irritates my eyes and my eyes are so red all day. Even hot compresses with the soap residue on the washcloth irritates my eyes. I don't know if they are super-sensitive or what. Anyway...I won't be able to reduce the swelling without cleansing my eyes 1 to 2 x daily. Any suggestions besides using johnson%26amp;johnson baby shampoo? I guess I need something more gentle...I have blepharitis and eyelid swelling and I know I need to cleanse the lids each night with baby shampoo..but?
    Do you have to use shampoo? Could you just soak a qtip in saline solution and rub it gently on the area? Or a tissue, or whatever you use to rub there? I have dryness and irritation on my eyelids and it is such a pain. I hope you can get some relief.

    I am looking for sesame street tearless shampoo for my baby. Can you help me find it?

    I used to use it years ago and ive gone to several stores and they dont carry it. The bottle is shaped like big bird or some other muppet you twist off the head and pour the shampoo? Do you use this product or maybe know someone thanksI am looking for sesame street tearless shampoo for my baby. Can you help me find it?
    I think I remember it!





    You may need to have it shipped to you. Were you interested in the actual product or the whole package (with the twist off head and everything)? I can only find the product. 1st link is travel size only, 2nd link is with other products (and no twist off head). It may be a discontinued product, sorry! Maybe you can search for the bottle on e-bay and refill it...

    Can i use baby shampoo if i dont have any dog shampoo for my puppy?

    Yes, it's OK. Shampoo for dogs is better because it's formulated just for dog's coat. Will not dry it out and will keep it looking nicer. Most dogs don't need frequent baths. Daily brushing and monthly bath is all. I don't bathe even monthly. With good brushing they don't smell and don't shed much. I think the food as much as the shampoo keeps them smelling good. Be sure to make puppy's bath a good experience. Warm room and warm water so he doesn't get cold and learn to hate baths. Be very gentle like you were washing a new born baby. Be firm too. Don't let him even think about jumping out!! It you let him get out, he'll try it every time and you and everything else in the room will be getting wet. Keep the shampoo out of his eyes and water out of his ears. I often don't wash the head the first few times just so it's a better and less scary experience for the pup. If it needs it, I've used a washcloth to clean the head and face instead. Like washing a childs face. Be sure you rinse all the shampoo out well from everywhere: armpits, between legs, stomach, under tail. That's why the sprayer is easier for me to use. Can reach all those placer easily. Dry them well. I bathe my little ones in the kitchen sink. Use the sprayer to rinse. Then wrap them in a big towel and carry them to the bath tub with a towel in the bottom so they don't slip to shake. I have the bathroom really warm. Gently I blow them somewhat dry with a blow dryer on low. Not in the face. The idea is to get them used to the dryer not to get them really dry. Wipe out ears with cotton balls. This is when I clip nails because they are softer when they are wet; easier to trim.


    If you check out dog shampoos there are all kinds. Pick one you think smells great and you enjoy using as well as what will meet puppy's needs. Have fun with your new clean puppy.Can i use baby shampoo if i dont have any dog shampoo for my puppy?
    Yes. Keep out of eyes. Buy puppy shampoo for next bath.





    Puppy should be 10 - 12 weeks for first bath.Can i use baby shampoo if i dont have any dog shampoo for my puppy?
    My dogs love VO5 but baby shampoo would work.
    no. most vets say do not use baby shampoo because it is bad for your dogs fur. even if you get a cheap dog shampoo do not use baby shampoo.
    Baby shampoo works fine - Johnson %26amp; Johnson works especially well.
    yes baby shapoo fine probably best getting flea shampoo has it is there to help prevent aswell as cure
    yup.
    would you use dog shampoo on a baby ?





    go buy some dog shampoo. the dog can wait another day.
    What does it say in your puppy instructions manual?
    yes you can
    just make sure none of the water with shampoo in it goes pass her ears or head. i use it all the time. smells better

  • Has anyone used baby shampoo to strip color from their hair?

    if so, how long does it take to see results and which kind is the best to use?Has anyone used baby shampoo to strip color from their hair?
    If you are trying to strip color, and have already washed it after coloring, GO TO A PROFESSIONAL. It is already a color correction, and it will be expensive, but you may be able to save your hair. If you keep trying to get advice from people that dont understand color, you will end up with a really really really bad color, or so much damage your hair will break off. Do yourself a favor, see a color expert.


    A former stylistHas anyone used baby shampoo to strip color from their hair?
    I can't imagine that baby shampoo would be able to strip color from your hair. Baby shampoo is supposed to be less concentrated, so why would it be able to stip color out of your hair?

    Does anyone know of any hypoallergenic shampoos besides Johnson's Baby Shampoo?

    Actually Baby Shampoos are generally NOT hypoallergenic! All they are, is shampoos w a PH (acidity level) such that it does not burn, should it enter the eyes.





    But actually this PH level is bad for the hair, way too aggressive. Which is why any adult who goes for baby shampoo, thinking it'll be good/soft on the hair, is wrong and shouldn't do it.





    Apart from that, there are lots of hypoallergenic shampoos out there, but brands/offer vary a lot by geography so it's tough to advise. Maybe best to start at local pharmacy/drugstore and ask for advice.





    Brands like Neutrogena, Nivea, L'Oreal, will of course have hypoallergenic shampoos.Does anyone know of any hypoallergenic shampoos besides Johnson's Baby Shampoo?
    No, but I suggest organic shampoos. You find them at health stores. Try Trader Joes or Henry's market. They might be a bit expensive but they are worth while.Does anyone know of any hypoallergenic shampoos besides Johnson's Baby Shampoo?
    Aveeno..Wonderful stuff..My nephew had eczema and it was a life saver for him...
    I believe brands like you see at the health food store are hypoallergenic and color and chemical free. I was thinking about Jason's, Ecco Bella, Zum, Burt's Bees and others. I think my neighborhood store carries over 20 brands. You can look on drugstore.com and they will carry a lot of brands too. Best of luck to you! Also there is Dr. Brommer's liquid soap.
    ONe thing to notice when you look at organic and hypoallergenic shampoos is are they fragrance free, or just using 'botanicals' for frgrance. If fragrance is your problem, which is common, then you need one with NO fragrance. Sallys Beauty Supply has one.
    I'm not sure of the specific brand names but I have seen them at stores like wild oats and whole foods. I feel your pain I have to use hypoallergenic everything since I'm allergic to just about anything.
    California Baby products are great for ppl with allergies. Found at Whole FOods and onlien and other health food stores
    Aveeno is very good.

    Is it okay to use diff. baby products(lotion,shampoo,etc) until you find one your comfortable with?

    ...Or should you stick to just one brand?Is it okay to use diff. baby products(lotion,shampoo,etc) until you find one your comfortable with?
    Yes, there is nothing wrong with finding the brand you are comfortable with. And if it's your first child, you will likely have a good chance to try different products because you will probably get lots of different stuff at your baby shower :)Is it okay to use diff. baby products(lotion,shampoo,etc) until you find one your comfortable with?
    yes definitely!! we used the Johnson's and johnson head to toe body wash until i figured that a baby shampoo would be more appropriate for her hair since she sweat there more. 2 weeks later she began to have eczema so we switched to aveeno, its been working for us ever since.. but i definitely feel you should try different things especially since everything is getting more expensive..you never know the cheaper ones can save a bundle of money and do the same job if not better!
    It is fine to change until you find something that you like, But if you have a very new baby, then you probably shouldn't be using lotions at all. My baby had very dry skin at first and this sounds very odd but the pediatrician told me no lotions, but that I could use Safflower Oil (yes the cooking kind). It worked great- didn't smell and soaked right into her skin and didn't leave oil everywhere.
    The BEST advise I've ever been given and what I like to pass on is to go with your intuition and what you know is best for your baby. I like to hear what others' (some) have to say, but ultimately, I do what feels right to me.





    I've always used natural products on my son. Some of my favorites are: Wal-mart, near me, carries this product at a very reasonable price is Tom's of Main, natural moisturizing bath wash. It's scent free, but not tear free. The one I used on my son after he was born was Aubrey Organics, Baby Wash. I've used a lot of their products and really love them.





    If a product is too harsh or not right for your baby, you'll know shortly after using the product if he/she breaks out in a rash. I've never had that happen using the natural products, but have friends who this has happened to using some common Name Brands.






    I wouldn't use baby shampoo no matter what brand it was. The reason baby shampoos are ';no tears'; is because it is made with saline...saline is salt water...and salt dries. I have always used Pantene on my kids hair even when they were babies...you just have to be careful not to get it into their eyes.
    Of course! As the others have said though, wait about a week before trying something new. I have found Boudreaxs Butt Bath works great, its ph balanced for baby's skin...its a great shaving aid for mom too, leaves your skin much softer than shaving creams and gels.
    seriously before you use ANY baby product on your baby google the words on the back, you will be disgusted and horrified at what you find!! I use all natural products now. chlorine? formaldehyde? alcohol? not on my baby!!!
    It is Ok but use them for at least a week before switching to another. That way you will no which one, if any, irritates their skin or they are allergic to.
    its alright but dont switch too soon after using one. give it some time. i like Aveeno, they have the best products :)
    Sure, but give it a week ,then if you don't like it change.
    Oh, yes. If you don't, a Johnson's representative comes into your family's bathroom and says ';Tsk, tsk. You should have spent more on that scented soap!'; until you switch back.

    Can i use baby shampoo if i dont have any dog shampoo for my puppy?

    Yes, it's OK. Shampoo for dogs is better because it's formulated just for dog's coat. Will not dry it out and will keep it looking nicer. Most dogs don't need frequent baths. Daily brushing and monthly bath is all. I don't bathe even monthly. With good brushing they don't smell and don't shed much. I think the food as much as the shampoo keeps them smelling good. Be sure to make puppy's bath a good experience. Warm room and warm water so he doesn't get cold and learn to hate baths. Be very gentle like you were washing a new born baby. Be firm too. Don't let him even think about jumping out!! It you let him get out, he'll try it every time and you and everything else in the room will be getting wet. Keep the shampoo out of his eyes and water out of his ears. I often don't wash the head the first few times just so it's a better and less scary experience for the pup. If it needs it, I've used a washcloth to clean the head and face instead. Like washing a childs face. Be sure you rinse all the shampoo out well from everywhere: armpits, between legs, stomach, under tail. That's why the sprayer is easier for me to use. Can reach all those placer easily. Dry them well. I bathe my little ones in the kitchen sink. Use the sprayer to rinse. Then wrap them in a big towel and carry them to the bath tub with a towel in the bottom so they don't slip to shake. I have the bathroom really warm. Gently I blow them somewhat dry with a blow dryer on low. Not in the face. The idea is to get them used to the dryer not to get them really dry. Wipe out ears with cotton balls. This is when I clip nails because they are softer when they are wet; easier to trim.


    If you check out dog shampoos there are all kinds. Pick one you think smells great and you enjoy using as well as what will meet puppy's needs. Have fun with your new clean puppy.Can i use baby shampoo if i dont have any dog shampoo for my puppy?
    Yes. Keep out of eyes. Buy puppy shampoo for next bath.





    Puppy should be 10 - 12 weeks for first bath.Can i use baby shampoo if i dont have any dog shampoo for my puppy?
    My dogs love VO5 but baby shampoo would work.
    no. most vets say do not use baby shampoo because it is bad for your dogs fur. even if you get a cheap dog shampoo do not use baby shampoo.
    Baby shampoo works fine - Johnson %26amp; Johnson works especially well.
    yes baby shapoo fine probably best getting flea shampoo has it is there to help prevent aswell as cure
    yup.
    would you use dog shampoo on a baby ?





    go buy some dog shampoo. the dog can wait another day.
    What does it say in your puppy instructions manual?
    yes you can
    just make sure none of the water with shampoo in it goes pass her ears or head. i use it all the time. smells better

    Has anyone used baby shampoo to strip color from their hair?

    if so, how long does it take to see results and which kind is the best to use?Has anyone used baby shampoo to strip color from their hair?
    If you are trying to strip color, and have already washed it after coloring, GO TO A PROFESSIONAL. It is already a color correction, and it will be expensive, but you may be able to save your hair. If you keep trying to get advice from people that dont understand color, you will end up with a really really really bad color, or so much damage your hair will break off. Do yourself a favor, see a color expert.


    A former stylistHas anyone used baby shampoo to strip color from their hair?
    I can't imagine that baby shampoo would be able to strip color from your hair. Baby shampoo is supposed to be less concentrated, so why would it be able to stip color out of your hair?

    Does anyone know of any hypoallergenic shampoos besides Johnson's Baby Shampoo?

    Actually Baby Shampoos are generally NOT hypoallergenic! All they are, is shampoos w a PH (acidity level) such that it does not burn, should it enter the eyes.





    But actually this PH level is bad for the hair, way too aggressive. Which is why any adult who goes for baby shampoo, thinking it'll be good/soft on the hair, is wrong and shouldn't do it.





    Apart from that, there are lots of hypoallergenic shampoos out there, but brands/offer vary a lot by geography so it's tough to advise. Maybe best to start at local pharmacy/drugstore and ask for advice.





    Brands like Neutrogena, Nivea, L'Oreal, will of course have hypoallergenic shampoos.Does anyone know of any hypoallergenic shampoos besides Johnson's Baby Shampoo?
    No, but I suggest organic shampoos. You find them at health stores. Try Trader Joes or Henry's market. They might be a bit expensive but they are worth while.Does anyone know of any hypoallergenic shampoos besides Johnson's Baby Shampoo?
    Aveeno..Wonderful stuff..My nephew had eczema and it was a life saver for him...
    I believe brands like you see at the health food store are hypoallergenic and color and chemical free. I was thinking about Jason's, Ecco Bella, Zum, Burt's Bees and others. I think my neighborhood store carries over 20 brands. You can look on drugstore.com and they will carry a lot of brands too. Best of luck to you! Also there is Dr. Brommer's liquid soap.
    ONe thing to notice when you look at organic and hypoallergenic shampoos is are they fragrance free, or just using 'botanicals' for frgrance. If fragrance is your problem, which is common, then you need one with NO fragrance. Sallys Beauty Supply has one.
    I'm not sure of the specific brand names but I have seen them at stores like wild oats and whole foods. I feel your pain I have to use hypoallergenic everything since I'm allergic to just about anything.
    California Baby products are great for ppl with allergies. Found at Whole FOods and onlien and other health food stores
    Aveeno is very good.

  • Is it okay to use diff. baby products(lotion,shampoo,etc) until you find one your comfortable with?

    ...Or should you stick to just one brand?Is it okay to use diff. baby products(lotion,shampoo,etc) until you find one your comfortable with?
    Yes, there is nothing wrong with finding the brand you are comfortable with. And if it's your first child, you will likely have a good chance to try different products because you will probably get lots of different stuff at your baby shower :)Is it okay to use diff. baby products(lotion,shampoo,etc) until you find one your comfortable with?
    yes definitely!! we used the Johnson's and johnson head to toe body wash until i figured that a baby shampoo would be more appropriate for her hair since she sweat there more. 2 weeks later she began to have eczema so we switched to aveeno, its been working for us ever since.. but i definitely feel you should try different things especially since everything is getting more expensive..you never know the cheaper ones can save a bundle of money and do the same job if not better!
    It is fine to change until you find something that you like, But if you have a very new baby, then you probably shouldn't be using lotions at all. My baby had very dry skin at first and this sounds very odd but the pediatrician told me no lotions, but that I could use Safflower Oil (yes the cooking kind). It worked great- didn't smell and soaked right into her skin and didn't leave oil everywhere.
    The BEST advise I've ever been given and what I like to pass on is to go with your intuition and what you know is best for your baby. I like to hear what others' (some) have to say, but ultimately, I do what feels right to me.





    I've always used natural products on my son. Some of my favorites are: Wal-mart, near me, carries this product at a very reasonable price is Tom's of Main, natural moisturizing bath wash. It's scent free, but not tear free. The one I used on my son after he was born was Aubrey Organics, Baby Wash. I've used a lot of their products and really love them.





    If a product is too harsh or not right for your baby, you'll know shortly after using the product if he/she breaks out in a rash. I've never had that happen using the natural products, but have friends who this has happened to using some common Name Brands.






    I wouldn't use baby shampoo no matter what brand it was. The reason baby shampoos are ';no tears'; is because it is made with saline...saline is salt water...and salt dries. I have always used Pantene on my kids hair even when they were babies...you just have to be careful not to get it into their eyes.
    Of course! As the others have said though, wait about a week before trying something new. I have found Boudreaxs Butt Bath works great, its ph balanced for baby's skin...its a great shaving aid for mom too, leaves your skin much softer than shaving creams and gels.

    Can u Bath a Dog with Baby Shampoo?

    I really want to knowCan u Bath a Dog with Baby Shampoo?
    You're better off using a shampoo made for dogs.


    Dogs and humans have a different pH level to their skin and using people shampoo on dogs can lead to skin problems.Can u Bath a Dog with Baby Shampoo?
    yeah we did ours with johnsons..


    but dont wash your hair with dog shampoo my nephew did it and he got scabs on his head
    yes you can. Use johnsons.
    Yes. Ivory dish soap works better, though.
    You can but i wouldn't recommend it. Even the most gentle baby shampoo removes the natural protective oils of a dogs coat. I also wouldn't recommend Johnson's because they test on animals :(





    Best bet is to get dog shampoo...that is why its made :)





    You can get them at all sorts of stores


    Walmart


    Petsco


    Petsmart (my fav)


    Target


    etc.
    no it is not a good idea to give your dog a bath with human baby shampoo because what happened is the ph is higher and so it will dry out the skin of your dog. if you want to give your dog a bath you need to use a dog shampoo earthbath puppy shampoo you can find it at a local petco store or go to the web www.earthbath.com many people make the mistake thinking its ok to bathe there pets with human shampoo but because thay don't know and then later on the dogs skin is really bother them. so please use what i metion or you can buy any type of puppy shampoo at a local petsmart or a local petco store for pets. hope this helps.
    Yes you can, plan and simple.
    yes you can bathe them in whatever you want
    larger dogs can handle it more than small dogs can because small dogs have a tendency to have really sinsative skin.
    Yes a bet you could it would be the only human shampoo I would use on them though.
    Yes as long as it says tear free, but I haven't heard of a baby shampoo that isn't.
    Yeah thats what we use on our dog .. its better then any anything else out there and it smells sooo nice!!
    of course. if you are using anything other than dog shampoo, it should be baby shampoo or Dawn dish-washing liquid (we had to use dawn to control fleas when our girl pup was prego- it works great with a flea comb)


    good luck :)
    Yes,I think that you can bath a dog with baby shampoo especally if yo have a dog with very sensative


    skin and fur.
    yes
    I bathe my dog with Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It's really gentle and it makes him soft. :)
    you can if you want to but i think it would be better if you wash the dog with dog shampoo
    yes u can, is safe on dogs but not in puppies...
    yeah NOT alot!








    good luck!
    No. It might irritate his/her skin, or give them an allergic reaction.
    it would be ok, but dog shampoo would be best option, cos its specially formulated for dogs needs, and dogs coats
    Yes you can and it is a good shampoo for dogs. I use it all the time. Gentle and will not hurt their hair or eyes. I would say excellent choice.
    Yes, but only do the head that way. It's actually not good for their skin, but it's a good idea because of the tearfreeness of it (woohoo! new word!). You can also buy tear free puppy shampoo.





    I would again like to emphasis that human shampoo is not a good idea for dogs. They do not have hair like ours and you can give them skin problems.
    NO.





    ALL human shampoo is mildly acidic, because our skin pH is acidic. Dog's skin pH is neutral, and so is their shampoo. Bathing dogs in ANY human shampoo, even baby shampoo, can give them dry skin and awful rashes. Buy dog shampoo, that's what it's made for.
    Nope, it removes the natural protective oils from the coat of the dog..
    Yes you can. And mild dish soap like Palmolive will kill fleas like crazy, and I have used these in a pinch. However it's much better to use a shampoo that's formulated for a dog's special skin. Baby shampoo is formulated for human skin, not dogs. It's okay once in awhile, but for regular bathing it's not a good idea.
    I bet you could since it is very gentle.
    u probably can but dog shampoo would probably work better
    Yes I do.
    Yes but dog shampoo is better but baby shamoo works fine.
    Yah! i do that with my dog when we run out of dog shampoo and he likes it and smells better! But use Johnsons!

    When can you switch from baby shampoo to childrens shampoo?

    When they are big enough to be able to keep the soap out of their own eyes.When can you switch from baby shampoo to childrens shampoo?
    dont think there is a certain age i like to try and keep washing the hair with baby shampoo for as long as possible coz it smells lovely lol i wud say after they turn 1 at least but then thats meWhen can you switch from baby shampoo to childrens shampoo?
    now, baby shampoo dries the babies scalp. use head and shoulders and a moisturizing conditioner.
    Whenever you want. I like the baby shampoo because it's tear-free. My daughter is 2 1/2. I have bought the children's shampoo before but I like the smell of the baby shampoo too.
    I switched when my kids/grandkids were old enough to wash their own hair and safely rinse it out without getting it in their eyes. My oldest granddaughter (8) still uses 'tear free' shampoo because she loves the way it smells. I have always kept a bottle of baby shampoo in the house - for the kids and the dog!
    My kids are 5 and 2 and both still use baby shampoo. I bathe them together and it just makes me feel better knowing it's tear-free if they splash. Plus, as mentioned, I love the smell of the Grins %26amp; Giggles Lavendar Wash. :-)





    Good luck!
    My daughter is 3 I use baby don't cry Paul Micthell shampoo
    I switched around 1.5 years old. When their hair goes from baby fine to more like regular hair. I make sure its tear free as well.
    To be honest u can use a childrens shampoo whenever u want. but i believe its best to use it until there almost 5 years old. By then ull be DEFF sure what there allergic to or of there hair and or head doesnt work well with the product

    Is baby shampoo good for your hair?

    yes... I use it at my grandmas house all the time!!! Think of it this way... you used when you were a baby, so why not use it now?=]Is baby shampoo good for your hair?
    It should be really gentle on your hair.

    Does baby shampoo really make your hair softer?

    I think so...Does baby shampoo really make your hair softer?
    well it works on babysDoes baby shampoo really make your hair softer?
    YES A BIT BUT ITS BEST FOR DRY UNCOLORED HAIR


    try it with a baby hair oil


    REMEMBER it doesnt cleanse ur hair
    i've tried it but it didn't really soften it that much
    no, and it is super harsh on haircolor!! in Cosmetology school, if our color came out too dark.......we were taught to use baby shampoo to fade it quicker!
    didn't work for me
    Probably but it is so mild it probably doesn't get it clean !
    Baby shampoo is very mild, after all its used on sensitive baby scalps. Their hair is naturally fine and soft. Baby shampoo on an adult won't make it all that much softer than other shampoos. I found that it isnt the shampoo than makes my hair soft, but is the conditioner that does the trick. The better the quality, the better the results (thats why your hair seems so much softer after getting it washed at the salon).





    Keeping your hair healthy from the inside out with vitamins and fatty acids will make it softer. They even make supplements specifically for hair and nails- just the right blend of the vitamins that benefit them.





    Also, keeping your hair maintained with frequent trims to get rid of dead ends will keep your hair softer and more manageable as well.
    baby shampoo is mild and it does soften a little, but not much. just use conditioner. about the size of a dime or nickle is good enough for even long hair. herbal esences is a good brand that isn't too expencive either. the conditioner from there can help.
    all baby stuff does. using it probably wont give it volume and body and shine but if youre looking for softness-run-your-fingers-through hair then you should definatly use it. why else do ppl use baby powder??its fantastic!!
    ONLY ON PPL WHO HAVE THIN HAIR

    Baby shampoo and baby body wash?

    Which is more harsh? Baby shampoo or baby body wash ?

  • Is baby shampoo safe to use everyday?

    I need to wash my hair everyday, or it gets oily. I have noticed that I lose alot of hair in the shower and thought that maybe switching to baby shampoo would solve the problem, since baby shampoo is said to be milder than regular shampoos. What do you think? Is it safe to use everyday?Is baby shampoo safe to use everyday?
    Absolutely-baby shampoo is the right one to use if you have to use it daily its less damaging when you wash regularly- this will keep your hair clean and smell good too Is baby shampoo safe to use everyday?
    yes but one question when i was pg my hair would do that like crazy and when i was one birth control it is the changes in your body. have u added something into your diet that u shouldn't. not drinking enough water. i would talk to your doctor i think it is more then just shampoo. shampoo just takes off the dirty and oil it doesnt go down that deep. i think this is a promble from the inside.
    It is safe to use. I wash mine daily as well but I use Clariol Herbal Essence. I love it!!! Makes my hair feel great and doesn't hurt it one bit. I went 8 months without cutting it and had zero split ends!!! Normally you lose up to 100 hairs daily. It seems like I lose 1000. I spoke to my dr about it and he said its normal.

    Your snake sounds like like it may have areas of retained shed. The blue eyes and then clearing appear prior to actual physical shedding. You may try some shed-aid or a warm soaking to help remove this old skin from your snake. Increase humidity the next time he goes into shed. No shampoosCan i use baby shampoo on my ball python?
    Shampoo cleans hair...reptiles lack this.





    If your ball looks dry, you're going to have to increase the overall humidity of the tank. The entire thing should be 50-60% humidity. You could also put a hide box in with a damp substrate (mulch works well). This hide will be more humid than the rest of the tank, so your ball can choose its conditions more precisely.





    Shampoo is unnecessary.
    No no no. You do not BATHE snakes :) Everyone is right, he is probably in blue and going to shed. You can help him by soaking him in water (not too deep, and not cold or hot) or misting him and his cage (i.e., raising the humidity). Also you might put a rock or a branch of some sort for him to help rub against while he is shedding.
    I reccomend you use a proffesional reptile wash or something. You can ask your vet and search your local pet store. From what you described, I think your snake is shedding! It's perfectly normal. Don't use human products on animals!


    It irriates them because of the chemicals!
    Dont use shampoo. Soak him in your tub for a bit, and he is probaly just going into a shed.

    Is baby shampoo a good gentle makeup remover?

    I was told that once, and I need to know if it is true. I usually never wear makeup, and I am at a loss as to how to best remove it. If it is not, what would work (that I might have laying around the house)?Is baby shampoo a good gentle makeup remover?
    VERY nice for the eyes.


    No more tears; meaning, it won't hurt your eyes.


    It actually feels nice and refreshing in your eyes.


    (I know it sounds weird, but I'm not kidding!)Is baby shampoo a good gentle makeup remover?
    Not sure who told you that but whoever they were, they were taking the p*ss hunny! It's true that baby shampoo can be very good for your HAIR (makes it soft %26amp; shiny) but NEVER use something designed for your hair on your face, especially not anywhere near your eyes. You could cause serious damage, there's stuff in shampoo (yep, even in baby shampoo) that wasn't designed to be in direct contact with your face, and the texture wouldn't even be right either. If you want a gentle %26amp; natural make up remover, try buying Simple make up %26amp; eye make up remover. Really works without any irritation %26amp; it's very plain %26amp; well...simple, like the name suggests!! Hehe. Good luck anyways hun, have fun %26amp; take care. =] x





    Sorry, just noticed you asked what household items you might have that would work...I would just take some cotton wool and dampen it with warm water %26amp; gently remove my make up like that, you may have to hold the cotton pad over your eyes for a while if you have mascara on, just to soften it a bit, then try gently wiping some of it off. If you have any baby oil you could use that, but I wouldn't recommend you go anywhere near your eyes with it. Or you could use gentle hand wipes/baby wipes if you have any. Hope you find something soon!! x
    I wouldn't use it because it's meant for hair, not for skin! You could have a bad reaction to it. When I'm out of make-up remover, I just use gentle soap and be carful about not getting it into my eyes. I usually just wet some tissue paper, rub a tiny bit on there and gently remove my make-up. I works for me!
    Hi there :)





    Good God don't be using baby shampoo on your face! It might be mild on hair but it could cause an allergic reaction on your face.





    Try Baby Oil, everyone has a bottle of that laying around. Its fab for removing the most stubborn make-up. And you'll only need a tiny wee bit on a tissue or cotton wool.





    Hope this helps :)
    If you're in an absolute pinch %26amp; have nothing else, you may have to use baby shampoo, or vasoline products such as mineral oil. Do NOT stay on it. use an oil free solution, like Mary Kay's %26amp; it will not dry your eye area out as the others.
    its true.


    actually it can be used


    as a makeup remover..





    and an amazing face wash.


    sometimes most washes have


    so much junk and chemicals in them


    that it only would irratate your skin more.





    its worth using it.
    No you dont want to use baby shampoo because it will dry out your face and the area around your eyes. Just use a good face wash from the store... the best i have found is Biore anti black head warming cream cleanser.
    it works but try mary kay make up remover
    no god please dont, if anything use a baby wipe
    very good choice, since babies have sensitive skin and all.. so i dont think it would irritate or dry out your skin..
    Yes it is

    it depends what kind. My brother got one for his birthday and it got really dirty. we tried that and it worked great. A few months later, my dad got one for x-mas. again it got dirty and we tried the baby shampoo. but it turned it a funny color and it just didn't work so well. So i don't know what to tell ya;)
    Baby shampoo does work but you are better off just wiping the coat with a damp cloth and drying right away and see if that works on its own. Make sure you don't get the coat too damp as leather can harden when it gets wet.

  • Can I use baby soap/shampoo when washing my hands prior to putting contact lenses in?

    No store in my town sells unscented soap.Can I use baby soap/shampoo when washing my hands prior to putting contact lenses in?
    Hello there! Ya I know these days all the soaps have different scents and lotion beads in them..lol


    The best thing for you to is completely avoid soaps with lotions in them!


    Unscented soaps are the best, but if you cannot find any unscented soaps then a mildly scented soap will do.


    Baby soap is very mild and there should be no problem in using it. Just make sure that you rub your hands together with the soap for about a minute and rinse off thoroughly. Its also a good idea to turn the tap off with a paper towel so your hands don't get dirty again :)


    So yes using baby soap is fine :) Hope that helpsCan I use baby soap/shampoo when washing my hands prior to putting contact lenses in?
    Yes, it is actually what most dr.'s will tell you to use to wash your eye when you get irritation for allergies and other small infections.
    You can use any type of soap on your hands. You wash the soap off and dry your hands. Just don't put on lotion or brush your teeth first, that bites.
    Just rinse your hands well
    Baby shampoo and soap also has additives. I used glycerine soaps (heck even my hardware store has this). Just use the soap you got until you find something unscented. Rinse your hands well. Most folks just use ordinary bath soap.








    No longer have contacts due to dry eye. :(
    Wash will soap, and then rinse well. Don't ever use plain water. It will not kill germs that can cause infections. Good Luck.
    I would personally recommend an antibacterial soap to kill germs, you never know what lingers and eye infections are no fun!! Someone has to sell antibacterial dish soap or body soap, make certain you scrub up well and rinse well also, then I would dry my hands on paper towels so you don't get more germs that could lurk in a towel. Paper towels are usually less lint prevalent also, lint can irritate the eye as well!!





    Good luck!! : )

    It's tearless baby shampoo...I've never heard of it, but it can't hurt to try. Better that having the sty, right? Go try. Good luck : )I have a stye on each eye and a friend of mine told me to wash my eye with baby shampoo (tearless).?
    Don't do it! It will just irritate your eyeball. A stye is like a pimple. It will usually go away on its own and if not go to a doctor to have it popped or removed.
    i don't know about that but an old trick that always worked for me was to get a solid gold ring and place on the stye, the better and thicker the gold the better the response, it does take a day or so though, solid gold not just plated
    My mom told me about an old remedy that worked. You rub something that is 14K Gold on the part of the eye that has it.





    It really works. Make sure you clean whatever it is you are using, with warm water and soap before you rub it on yourself.
    The Merck Manual recommends washing eyelids with a cloth or swab dipped in a dilute solution of baby shampoo--two to three drops in 陆 cup of warm water. This is recommended for treatment of blepharitis, which is inflammation of the eyelids, but you may have blepharitis if you have two styes at once.





    This is a common, everyday treatment for styes as well as blepharitis, and your friend is well-informed.





    I have given you links to a couple of articles that mention it.
    Never heard of that but if you have a gold ring, rub it on the stye.
    I used to use baby shampoo on my eyelashes because they'd get terribly oily from me rubbing them. It really doesn't hurt and smells nice, at least I think so.
    Your friend is not the sharpest tool in the shed. No you cannot do that.


    Speak to your doctor if they are bothering you.

    My wife isn't home, is it okay to use baby body wash as baby shampoo?

    100% yesMy wife isn't home, is it okay to use baby body wash as baby shampoo?
    yep, i use my cousins all the time when i am home visiting and i used to use my brothers alot. i probably will start using it again after ours is born to.My wife isn't home, is it okay to use baby body wash as baby shampoo?
    Sure is. That's what I used and will use again :)
    I use Johnson's head to toe body wash....hint the Head part...yes its fine...you must be a good daddy if you ask before doing lol
    Definitely! ...and chances are that your wife uses it too when she's running low and you may not have seen it. :)
    its perfectly okay :)
    yes, and FYI its also fine to wash babys hair with baby body wash.
    Yes baby wash is an all in one hair and body wash.
    yes, of course. I think it may even say on the bottle if is Johnson and Johnson brand
    Absolutely. That's what I've done for all 3 of my children.
    why sure. Most washes are ';head to toe'; and can be used anywhere.
    Yes, it is fine. You sound just like my husband!
    Yup!
    YUP...just don't make it a habit lol!
    oh yes!!its fine idid for my lil ones =)
    Yep! That is all we use!
    yes thats what ive done for both of my girls

    What can I use to wash my kitten besides baby or cat shampoo?

    Usually u shouldn't wash cats/kittens. But since there is oil around the ears then that is a good idea. You shouldn't use anytype of shampoo or dishsoap since the water and soap can get into the kittens ears. You should get some washing wipes that are made for animals. Then just rub around the oily area. That should do the trick!What can I use to wash my kitten besides baby or cat shampoo?
    Lemon Joy (the dish washing liquid) It is very gentle and even kills fleas.What can I use to wash my kitten besides baby or cat shampoo?
    Pet stores sell wet-wipes for cats/kittens, so you dont have to try to stick the kitty in the sink (watch out for the claws!) I just use my own child's wipes when my cat needs help cleaning.
    If you're just washing her because you think she needs to be cleaned by you, that isn't necessary for a cat. They keep themselves very clean. You can even dry out her skin and cause irritation by using soaps on her.
    I think baby shampoo is too drying...I use Nexxell Therapee on my baby girl
    Unless your cat lives outside...which I don't recommend.....your kitten shouldn't need washed very often....rarely if ever. I wouldn't recommend washing her unless you know that she has gotten into something dirty or she smells. I would recommend baby shampoo...it won't irritate the eyes.
    there are dry shampoos on the market. Check PetSmart, Petco, or even your local grocery store.

    What baby shampoo is good for my 7 month old baby?

    She has very thin hair and does not have too muchWhat baby shampoo is good for my 7 month old baby?
    Up till my kid was 3 years old we always used Johnson to Johnson products! very mildWhat baby shampoo is good for my 7 month old baby?
    Johnson %26amp; Johnson shampoo
    I love Aveeno baby products! They are lightly scented and work great for sensitive skin!
    Johnson%26amp;Johnson


    Or Tear free.


    Neutragena
    I always use Johnson %26amp; Johnson. That's what I have always used and works well. My son has thick, curly hair and my daughter has very thin, straight hair. It works for both hair types.

    My five-year-old swallowed a little bit of baby shampoo--will this hurt him?

    I was giving my son a bath and while I was washing his hair he dipped his finger in the suds and put it in his mouth. Will it hurt him?My five-year-old swallowed a little bit of baby shampoo--will this hurt him?
    nah,He'll be fine!My five-year-old swallowed a little bit of baby shampoo--will this hurt him?
    definitely not
    It is not poisonous at all! He will be fine! If he drank alot, the worst thing is he'd throw up, but just a little, he will be fine!
    nope. The worst it may do is give him a little diarrhea
    I dont think it will hurt him. But just in case, I would call his doctor and ask.
    Probably not, but call Poison Control to be on the safe side. They'll be able to tell you what to do (probably give him some water and watch him) and what to look for.





    You'd be shocked to hear what kids consume - I know of a three year old who drank perfume because it smelled pretty, so he thought it'd taste pretty. The next month, he drank nail polish because he could. His mom had the local Poison Control center on speed dial, and they knew her by name. =)
    Not at all. All it might give him is a little diarriha (or however you spell it, sorry, i'm on vaca, i'm braindead)
    No he'll be fine.
    not at all, baby shampoo remember is made for babys cause they are sensitive, even adult shampoo wouldnt hurt.

  • Is it fine if a teenager use johnson baby shampoo?

    my hairs are little bit dry and weak





    i tried many shampoos like H%26amp;S ,dove,pantene,sunsilk,herbal essence,garnier fructis,clear etc





    some of them like dove and herbal essences gave me dandruff





    h%26amp;s dry out my hairs





    pantene and sunsilk make my hairs fall outIs it fine if a teenager use johnson baby shampoo?
    Baby Shampoo Is Fine, Its Just Easy On Your Eyes. It Won't Sting As Much. I Don't Think That You Want It For Your Hair Type Though. I'd Say Go To A Salon And Ask The Lady What She Recommends, Then Ask Her To Recommend Something Cheaper ;-)Is it fine if a teenager use johnson baby shampoo?
    I'm an adult and I use it. All that other stuff is expensive and all shampoo is supposed to do is get your hair clean. All those additional chemicals are not good for you, the environment or your hair.
    only problem i would see is other teens finding out you use baby shampoo and them teasing you about it. Just keep it to yourself or load another shampoo bottle with it if you have to shower at the gym or whatever.
    of course it is. it may say its for babys but thats just because it is made specially so that the babys hair will become nice and healthy. anyone can use it!





    good luck!
    yes its fine...baby shampoo can be a lot better sometimes for people with sensitive scalps or hair because it is so gentle and not as filled with chemicals that ';claim'; to make your hair shine and be strong etc
    YES
    Thats absolutly fine...im 23 and I use baby lotion and sometimes johnsons baby shampoo. Hey, it smells good.
    i use:


    kerasaste pro v 3 for thick hair


    i like matrix shampoo and conditioner


    i guess its ok if u use johnson baby even if ur a teen


    people have different hair needs


    happy styling!
    It shouldn't be a problem...Baby shampoo is very safe and can be used by anybody. I even wash my dog with baby shampoo.
    well i think it is alright but you should use ausie moist or at least try it ou ti think i would work for you but if it does not work keep using your baby shampoo
    yes it is very fine, it makes your so soft and manageable and let it shine
    Yeah but it is a little nerdy ( weired)
    Sure, to each his own. Thats what I say.
    totally... its not really about the shampoo. its about how it works. if it goes good with ur hair then go for it!!
    Yes, of course it is!
    yes, it's fine to do so.
    Yup its fine for ur hair :)

    I am an adult. Are there any reasons why i shouldnt use baby shampoo for the rest of my days?

    It cleans hair right? and i guess it has less chemicals in...so why not?I am an adult. Are there any reasons why i shouldnt use baby shampoo for the rest of my days?
    If you use styling products, or color or perm your hair, baby shampoo is not the best thing for your hair.





    If you don't do any of the above it is fine. Baby shampoo is just a shampoo that's let harsh on the hair and also is tear free.I am an adult. Are there any reasons why i shouldnt use baby shampoo for the rest of my days?
    you can use it. they are all made of the same thing.
    No harm in using baby shampoo, actually sometimes it can make your hair softer than other shampoos, and as always.. its tearless!
    Nope there is no reason why not.


    You should use whatever works on your hair.


    Baby shampoo is just made more gentle that other formulas.
    omg why does everyone want to use baby shampoo on here, ok let me give you a lesson, on a ph scale your hair and skin are around 4.5-5.5 acidic, so you need a shampoo in that range, baby shampoo johnsons in particular is an 11 akaline on the ph scale, it is terrible for your hair and it drys it out
    baby shampoo is strong so it can clean cradle cap and food etc...


    it's sometimes used to strip hair of color!

    Does baby shampoo really get black hair coloring out?

    My friend did something stupid and dyed his hair black and I've heard that baby shampoo is a slow process to strip the color out, is that true?Does baby shampoo really get black hair coloring out?
    UH NO....baby shampoo is gentle, you know gentle enough for babies...there is no possible way a baby shampoo could take hair color out. Sorry Does baby shampoo really get black hair coloring out?
    its so gentle i doubt it. They sell good shampoo to strip the color out
    tell ur friend to use dove shampoo. it has detergents in it that strips out coloring

    Does baby shampoo help green grass grow?

    This works if your lawn is having weed problems.





    In order to get the maximum benefit from your weed killer, spray a weak solution of children's shampoo on the lawn. Believe it or not, this washes the grime off the yard allowing your grass to make better use of sunlight while at the same time making the weeds more receptive to weed killer.





    In a garden store, soil softener is called ammonium lauryl sulfate, however children's shampoo or even dish soap will do the job just fine. Use a hose sprayer that emits 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.





    You can use regular or liquid weed killer with your sprayer; put in enough for about 5 gallons of water (you'll have to read your weed killer instructions) and mix with it a tablespoon of shampoo or soap with the weed killer, and apply.





    Spray just the weeds, not the whole yard. Weed killer retards plant growth. Additionally, you may want to use separate sprayers so you don't accidently feed your weeds and kill your yard. Shake the sprayer periodically, keeping the solution mixed well as you spray.Does baby shampoo help green grass grow?
    i don t think so but u can try ofcoursDoes baby shampoo help green grass grow?
    It helps the grass become clean again, and since hair grows faster on a clean scalp, I think the same goes with your green grass.
    It gives it body and bounce!
    I don't think so, but you might try watering it more often, where did you hear that about the shampoo, I think if you mix it with water you can spray your plants to keep bugs off, but I'm not sure about that.
    I don't think so.
    You should probably just stick with lawn fertilizer. Lawn fertilizer is formulated and balanced to help grass grow. Take a trip down to your local garden supply store today!

    When did you switch over from baby shampoo/soap to children's kind?

    and when did you start using 'real' soap?When did you switch over from baby shampoo/soap to children's kind?
    my daughter is 7 and i still buy her the kids kind of shampoo (b/c she has super long hair and gets real shampoo in her eyes then screams bloody murder) but she uses real conditioner. and if worst comes to worst she uses real shampoo but i help her a little bit.


    and her and her baby sister share baby soap. my older daughters skin gets really irritated when she uses any color or scented soap(im the same way).When did you switch over from baby shampoo/soap to children's kind?
    ive never heard of california baby. illlook out for it.my favorite is huggies cucumber and melon (wipes too!) it smells so refreshing and my kids love it too:) Report Abuse

    That's a good question. Some babies don't really need baby soap at all, and others are really really sensitive. My daughter started using ivory bar soap pretty much as soon as she was big enough to start helping wash herself. My son has terrible allergies and couldn't stand regular soap until he was 4. He's 8 now and still can't have anything with dyes or perfumes.





    The best way to figure out if your kid is ready to change to regular soap is just to give it a try and keep an eye out. If it appears to be irritating their skin, give them another bath in baby soap, and wait a little while longer.
    about 2/3 my youngest daughter whos 1 is still using


    baby shampoo. My eldest daughter who is 5 is using


    big girl shampoo now and has been since she was 2.
    Sophie is 2.5 and I still only use California Baby or Burts Bees body washes/shampoos on her. They are just better for her without all the chemicals in the main brands.
    My son uses Johnson and Johnson shampoo/conditioner for curly hair.


    As soon as his hair was long enough, I switched him over to that.
    a year and a ahlf


    hes barely two so i havent switched him to real soap%26amp;probably wont till hes 5 since the baby stuff smells GOOD
    2 1/2 =)
    when he was about 2 yrs old...

    Can I use baby shampoo on my cockatoo?

    my golfin cockatoo is very stained with dirt. I give him a bath but it doesn't come off any suggestionsCan I use baby shampoo on my cockatoo?
    You could use baby shampoo, but only every 2-3 months or so with the soap, as it will dry their skin out. Also, baby shampoo will not hurt their eyes if it gets in there- but try to keep it out of their eyes still. There are also special shampoos for birds, especially white cockatoos.





    Another suggestion for stains is to use hydrogen peroxide on the stain, especially blood stains, and then rinse it off with Dawn and water. Dawn and hydrogen peroxide will not harm the feathers, but WILL be harmful for their eyes.





    Check the site for some more tips!Can I use baby shampoo on my cockatoo?
    DON'T USE SHAMPOO!!! That's probably the last thing you want to do, it could kill your bird. As long as the dirt isn't bothering him/harming him, don't worry about it. If it really does bother you though, try filling a spray bottle with water, and spritzing him with it through the bars of his cage.
    i wouldn't use shampoo on birds, it could hurt their skin. i'd just bathe him alot. i don't think soaps and shampoo is good for them, we just wash our birds with plain old water, but it might just take some time to get all the way clean.
  • skin cream
  • Is there really formalehyde in baby shampoo?

    i use aveeno because my daughter has exzema. i read where the aveeno creamy wash has it in there but it says nothing about the regular body wash...im just curiousIs there really formalehyde in baby shampoo?
    I look at this way...we've been using these products for years and I have never heard of a baby being seriously harmed from it.





    But I also tend to think... if there really was fermaldehyde in baby shampoo, do you really think the FDA would allow it on shelves? I don't. Don't let the fear get to you. Stick with a brand you trust and don't worry about it. If it were true, you'd hear it on the TV news, not some article on the net. Seriously. Your baby is safe.Is there really formalehyde in baby shampoo?
    Yes, many products including baby washes/shampoos contain a formaldehyde DERIVATIVE as a preservative.





    I also find the quality of aveeno has gone down hill in the last few years.





    I'm not sure which product you are referring to though? Aveeno Baby Wash %26amp; Shampoo?

    From the FDA


    http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/cos-nail.h鈥?/a>


    Formaldehyde in Nail Hardeners





    Nail hardeners that contain formaldehyde may cause an irritation or allergic reaction to those sensitized to this compound. There is also some evidence that certain individuals may become allergic to toluene sulfonamide鈥揻ormaldehyde resin, a common ingredient in nail preparations.





    In 1984, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel* reported that available toxicological data and other information were insufficient to conclude that cosmetics containing formaldehyde in excess of 0.2% are safe. However, the CIR was referring to cosmetic products applied to the skin, not nail products. The concentration of formaldehyde needed for nail hardening is higher than 0.2%, but formaldehyde is less likely to cause skin sensitization when shields are used to keep the hardener away from the skin. If you are allergic to formaldehyde, have previously experienced an allergic reaction to nail preparations or for any other reason wish to avoid this ingredient, be sure to read the product ingredient statement on the label to determine if formaldehyde and toluene sulfonamide-formaldehyde resin are present.

    Formaldehyde in personal care products





    Formaldehyde is a simple compound consisting of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. It occurs naturally in the air we breathe and is even part of the human metabolism. Plants and animals also produce formaldehyde, and it is released as a byproduct of certain vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts and cabbage, when they are cooked.





    Historically, formaldehyde was first used as a biological preservative more than a century ago. Today, formaldehyde-releasing preservatives are ingredients that help to ensure the safety of products by protecting them from harmful contamination by microorganisms during storage and during continued use by consumers. These preservatives have the ability to replace used-up formaldehyde by releasing it in very small amounts over time as needed. The use of formaldehyde-releasing preservatives ensures that the actual level of free formaldehyde in the product remains very low but sufficient enough to prevent or eliminate bacterial growth. Exposures to formaldehyde through personal care products are generally extremely low.





    The CIR Expert Panel concluded that formaldehyde in cosmetics and personal care products is safe and should not exceed 0.2 percent (2,000 ppm) when measured as free formaldehyde.





    Likewise, the European Union's Cosmetic Directive allows use of formaldehyde in cosmetic and personal care products at a maximum concentration of 0.2 percent or 2,000 ppm (free formaldehyde). The EU Cosmetics Directive may be found at:





    http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/cosmetics鈥?/a>





    The FDA regulation for formaldehyde may be found at:





    http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cd鈥?/a>





    All of the levels allegedly found in the report are far below this 0.2 percent (or 2,000 ppm) safety threshold.
    I have heard this as well and it appears to be true. From www.greenopia.com:


    The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics recently released some disturbing information about some of America's favorite clean-baby products; 61% of the largest, most popular brands (including Johnson %26amp; Johnson) contained ingredients like 1, 4 dioxane and formaldehyde, which are known carcinogens.





    The No More Toxic Tub report states:





    ';While a single product might not be cause for concern, the reality is that babies may be exposed to several products at bath time, several times a week, in addition to other chemical exposures in the home and environment. Those small exposures add up and may contribute to later-life disease.





    Formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane are known carcinogens; formaldehyde can also trigger skin rashes in some children. Unlike many other countries, the U.S. government does not limit formaldehyde, 1,4-dioxane, or most other hazardous substances in personal care products.';





    So we put together a list of the least-toxic baby shampoos on the market we could find. All of these are free of 1, 4 dioxane, phthalates, formaldehyde, and the other nasty compounds we look out for.';





    Perhaps try out some of the following organic roducts which are said to not contain it:





    USDA Certified Organic:





    Erbaorganics Organic Baby Shampoo (at least 77% organic)


    Organic Blessings Baby Shampoo and Body Wash


    Nature's Paradise Baby Shampoo %26amp; Body Wash, Unscented

    Highly unlikely. Read the LABEL, not email scare stories.
    I was just reading about this too. I got an email from babyzone.com with an article about how unsafe some baby products are. I don't know if it is just a ploy to get you to buy the more expensive organic products or it is a true concern? I will be looking into it further, right now we use Huggies shampoo and wash and if I find out that it contains harmful products I will be switching.
    I haven't read all the labels, but I have personally found that there are things in J%26amp;J and other popular baby products that I don't want absorbed by my baby's skin: artificial fragrance, parabens, etc. Some of these things are just irritants, and others have been said to possibly cause cancer.





    Perhaps this is alarmist, but what if it's not? My mother is a breast cancer survivor, along with approximately one in every eight women today. If you ask these women what caused their cancer, chances are most of them have no idea. Therefore, if we are using things that MAY be toxic and MAY cause problems down the road, and it's easy as pie to eliminate them from our lives, why on God's green earth wouldn't we do it?





    That said, I use goat's milk soap on my daughter, and Earth's Best Organic for diaper cream and lotion. There are alternatives out there, they are easy to find, and my daughter is worth it.
    There is formaldehyde in baby shampoo and body wash. Here is some information I received from a friend by email.





    Formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance. It is a known cancer-causing agent. It damages the neurological connectors in the body. It is an irritant to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs and may cause:

    Is johnson baby shampoo good for adults to regrow hair?

    they told me that it could help my scalp cause it does not contain alcoholIs johnson baby shampoo good for adults to regrow hair?
    No, go get Nioxin at a salon and use it for 6 months. Then your hair will start to grow back.Is johnson baby shampoo good for adults to regrow hair?
    It will not grow hair. It will be gentle on the hair you already have.. but it will NOT grow hair.


    If it did.. Rogaine couldn't charge the outlandish fees it does!
    As if ';They'; ever knew anything to begin with! There is nothing wrong with using the shampoo at all...it's very gentle but no shampoo will restore hair loss. You may have a medical problem that can be corrected. You can also try Rogaine if it's that bad. Good luck!
    I've been using it for years %26amp; my hair is still falling out (I think this is caused by my genes, not by the shampoo)
    thats actually wrong....baby shampoo is meant for a baby's scalp, and usually they tend to have oilier scalps which is why baby shampoo has way more detergent than most shampoos, which means it will dry out your scalp and hair.....if you want something to help you with thinning hair try these....
    it doesnt regrow hair, but it can actually get rid of your acne.
    Who told you? There is too much acid in that shampoo that's why it doesn't burn your eyes it has the same acid content the eyes do and it's really high. You should message your scalp more and get a shampoo that has stuff that make your hair thicker.

    your hair is probably itchy and tingly because your scalp is dry. use head and shoulders shampoo.Would baby shampoo be good for an itchy tiingly scalp?
    what you should use after you shampoo your hair is scalpicin. work the scalpicin into your scalp and leave on your hair don't rince out. use everytime you shampoo your hair and the itch should leave. when your hair falls out like you describe, sound like you might have some stress issues as well. good luck. hope this helps. i use scalpicin all the time.
    You may want to try Selsun Blue Medicated Shampoo every other day for about a week. It may resolve whatever problem you are having, and then you can resume with your regular shampoo %26amp; use Selsun Blue once a week for a wee bit.

    Is baby shampoo good to wash your dog with?

    hello i have a 2 and half year old female papillon and i need to bath her more then once a month almost like 3 times a month and I was told baby shampoo works great is the true or could anyways suggest anything else thanks so muchIs baby shampoo good to wash your dog with?
    Never use human products on a Papillon or any dog for that matter. The pH balance of the shampoo will damage the quality and texture of the coat. Also make sure to use a conditioner on the coat as well.





    I usually recommend Vellus or Pet Silk to help retain the silkiness of a Papillon coat.Is baby shampoo good to wash your dog with?
    I use it on my Chihuahua and I used it on my rats too. I have not had a problem. I heard it is very gentle, so that's what I use.


    I should buy dog shampoo, but I worry about what kind of chemicals are in the dog shampoos.


    I just noticed some dog shampoos that are more gentle, there are several kinds, some are for dogs with sensitive skin or dogs that need to be bathed more often.
    No use a Dog shampoo....if you wash your Dog too often it will wash all of the natural oils on your Dogs skins.





    Groom your Dog daily and if you go out and your Dog gets muddy just wipe it down with a dry towel and groom afterwards.





    My Dog has had about 4 baths in his lifetime and he is coming up for 3 and he doesn't smell....in fact my friends ask me if i have bathed him when i haven't.
    Well, I don't see why it wouldn't. But my best bet would be to use Dawn Dish soap. If you leave it on for a few minutes, it kills fleas wonderfully.
    You should use a shampoo for dogs. Humans and dogs have different skin pH levels and human shampoos can be drying.

    For parents who use mixa baby shampoo on their children?

    do you find th lid really annoying to open once the bottle is wet? it gets on my nerves everytime why the heck don t they change the the bottle top???For parents who use mixa baby shampoo on their children?
    I have no idea what you are talking about. Never heard of this shampoo but would check the bottle and see if there is a number to call, an address or a website where you can complain. Reputable companies like to have input from consumers.
