And detergent for clothes?What is the best shampoo to bath the baby?
I use Weleda Baby Wash %26amp; Shampoo. It's all natural. I started using Aveeno but reports of some pretty nasty stuff showing up in the Johnson %26amp; Johnson washes (Aveeno is put out by then) had me switch. I like this one much better! They sell it at Babies R Us or on Amazon.





For his clothing we use Dreft.

My husband is a health %26amp; safety manager at a major university hospital and told me to take this very seriously. He said these chemicals enter the body very easily through the skin and there are no safe levels of them.What is the best shampoo to bath the baby?
Hello,





Find a natural or organic shampoo that is sulfate free. Sodium lauryl sulftate is extremely drying and can cause increased permeablitly to the skin and irritation. It is also hard on the eyes. Watch for this in bubble baths too. (Gulp!)





Shampoos and detergents should also be free of any synthethic colors and fragrances. These are just chemicals and are not needed.





Somtimes clothes don't smell or seem as fresh without the added perfumes we're used to. So, you can rinse clothes (rinse cycle) with a bit of white vinegar. It will freshen clothes naturally.





Best of luck with baby!
I use only a natural, mild soap for both my baby's skin and hair, she is exposed to enough chemicals in this world without having me put more on her. Any shampoo that contains sodium laureth sulfate is a danger to your child - commercially sodium laureth sulfate is actually as degreaser in a lot of industry type environments. If you want something specifically designed for babies, don't go with anything made by these big companies such as Johnson %26amp; Johnson, their products are the worst for containing especially petrol based chemicals. Do your little one a favor and go chemical free where ever you can, there are a few fairly natural bands available such as Weleda and Jurlique. Your local health food shop will probably stock a good range.





As for a washing detergent, look for something that says Non-biological, its the best for babies as it doesn't irritate their skin.





Best wishes and i hope i have helped! :)
Johnson %26amp; Johnson's Lavender baby shampoo is great. It has a calming scent and is pH balanced so that it is tear free in case any of it ends up in baby's eyes!
