(Part 3) Best baby bathing products according to redditors

I've had eczema for 24 years, and here are some products I swear by:

100% squalane oil - this is more expensive per ounce than hemp oil, but my god is it effective for flare-ups. Squalane is the hydrogenized form of squalene, an oil naturally found in your skin.

Cerave Moisturizing Cream - this is the holy grail for eczema lotion. It can sting when you put it on, if the flare-up is bad. It works really well when mixed with a few drops of squalane. Cerave's claim to fame is the ceramides. Skin with eczema is frequently lacking in these crucial lipids.

Colloidal Oatmeal Lotion - there are a few brands of these that are mostly the same, but this is the one I like. This is best for those really, really nasty flare-ups, especially the kind where you scratch yourself raw/bloody, because it's so gentle and thick.

Similarly, colloidal oatmeal for baths. If you've got a full-body flare-up going on, or a flare-up somewhere that lotion can't reach (like on your scalp), this can be incredibly soothing.

Dove Beauty Bar For Sensitive Skin - accept no substitutes. This is the only bar soap my skin can handle, and it is the only soap that every dermatologist I've ever seen has recommended for my eczema. That's because it's not technically soap, it's actually a gentle detergent mixed with moisturizer.

Sulfate-free shampoo - SLS, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate, is a big trigger for me, and a common one. (I also have to use SLS-free toothpaste.) If you're prone to scalp flare-ups, this might be a good first line of defense. For a cheaper option, Johnson's Baby Shampoo is also sulfate-free.

If I sound like a brochure, I'm sorry. I've spent years dealing with this, and I'm kind of a skincare hobbyist (who also dabbles in hair care), so I've tried a lot of stuff.

This specific model goes up to 700lb. I think that it’s this one.

I recently bought these. Mainly for my mother.

2 tablespoons of ground flax seed a day is adequate for short chain omega 3s which get converted into long chain omega 3s. This process gets less efficient when we are older so i bought the supplement. The algae is effectively what fish eat.

I saw above you said you are computer illiterate. So I will link Some for you. :)

My first recommendation is to check to see if she has a baby registry. New parents need/want LOTS of stuff, and while all gifts are appreciated, having someone help cover the essentials always made us really happy! Some of my favorite gifts were for things we needed like extra bottles, bassinet sheets, and giftcards to Amazon.

Now, to your question - here are some top items we've used with our new baby:

• If she's breastfeeding then nipple balm, nursing pads (I like the Lansinoh disposable ones), cooling pads for your bra for when you're engorged, a Haaka breastmilk pump/saver, and nursing tank tops.
  
• An activity mat
  
• High contrast books and toys to look at
  
• Extra changing pad liners
  
• Dreft stain remover (GREAT for poop stains!)
  
• Burp cloths (you can literally never have too many. We love these from aden + anais.)
  
  
  With the exception of the activity mat, you can really never have too many of the above items!

There was this Walgreens brand eye drop that I used and even though i had conjunctivitis, it took the red right out of my eye and relieved it. It was magic. Run an extremely hot shower over it and then drop those bad boys into your eyes.

I think it was this: Walgreens Allergy Relief Eye Drops 0.5 oz by Walgreens https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AVJ3CQ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9DuADbM8T2M6Z

Bam!

As to a cane, I got this one after practicing with Ortopedic style canes with a Physical Therapist, and before seriously using it I took it to her and had her check it out.

It is very nice and comfortable to use if you have progressed to the point where you can get by with a single point style cane.

Had bad experience with the "bulk powders" version, it created a gummy, eggy structure within the bread. (Also it turned out dark purple!)

This one was much, much better: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sevenhills-Wholefoods-Organic-Psyllium-Powder/dp/B00N31PXEG/

I recently tried Syntha-6 Edge, salted caramel flavour.

Was such a step up from MyPtoein in taste and texture, though I've not bothered looking into whether it's fundamentally better. It's pricier, though

Something more like these?

TooGoo

SC Rinse Cup

Do any of those fit the bill?

I use metipac silicone tape. Cheaper than a lot of other brands but works just as well.

​

I would strongly suggest not using any type of silicone tape until the incisions have fully closed and the scabs have fallen off, for me that was around 4 weeks post op. (based on my surgeon's advice)

I have the same issues.

You listed that you do not use sunscreen, but if you wear make up, I recommend oil cleansing, that usually helps prevent your skin from over drying, or others have mentioned adding a small amount of oil to your cleanser.

You mentioned non-foaming, but I have heard others on /r/asianbeauty have recommended Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam or Hada Labo Tokyo Hydrating cleanser and said these did not dry them out.

One's that I have tried and that did not dry me out:

Foaming-ish...more like bubbles (all have a ph around 5.5):
Eucerin Baby Wash
Cerave Baby Wash
Skin Fix Cleansing Oil Wash

Non-foaming/Oil Cleansers:
Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Oil
Grain Ferment Cleansing Sherbet
Farmacy Cleansing Oil

For your CC's, try an AHA, but I would be careful using is with tretinoin because it might really dry you out. You could use it just on the spots where you have CC's or alternate using it with your tretinoin.

I'd use Vashe for dirty wounds, especially those with odor. Vashe does not hurt, does not harm healing tissue, but kills pathogens very effectively without contributing to antimicrobial resistance.

Also, if the wound looks pink/red and clean - cleansing with normal saline or wound wash is fine and actually the preferred method.

For dirty feet or other general areas that you want to cleanse well but also have open wounds, consider a chlorhexidine soap. it provides prolonged antimicrobial activity and when diluted with water doesn't irritate wounds. All of these products are used in wound clinics.

Here's Vashe for sale on Amazon.

I found them on amazon.co.uk for you. It looks like they are available without going to a doctor.

I got mine from a small Indian spice store (no label/brand) but it's similar to those products:
