When to start using regular wash/lotion

When did you all stop using baby wash/lotion and just use the other kid kinds? I have seen different products by J&J and L'Oreal (I think?) for kids so I was wondering. I know I will lotion my girls for a while because they both get pretty dry skin just like me.

 

I still use all the baby washs/lotions on C&C but that's mostly because I use it on Mason and they all bath together. I did just buy Huggies Clean Team Shampoo & Condition to try on them and like it but I will probably keep using the baby stuff until Mason it ready to switch - it's just so much easier!

 

I still use the J&J lavender for bubbles in the bath and I use Kandoo for some of their cleansing (I never use soap on their faces - just wet wash cloth) I switch between huggies shampoo and j&j shampoo. (Whatever I have the coupon for ) I think I abandoned the really sensitive baby baby stuff at about 18 mos?

I still like Aveeno lotions for when I lotion them!

 

I tried switching Catherine to a kid's shampool with shampoo/conditioner but she said that it burned her eyes (it said it was tear free). So I switched back to Johnson's. I've always used regular lotion on them though, just Lubriderm.

 

I don't use baby lotion. I do use baby shampoo/body wash because it's 98% naturally derived (Burt's Bees).

 

I still use baby wash and lotion as well. It just smells so nice and keeps their skin soft.

 

We never used baby lotion -- I couldn't stand the smell, and the ped recommended Cetaphil anyway (which we buy in huge quantities at Costco).

We do still use baby shampoo, because it doesn't sting when it gets in their eyes. We used Aveeno when they were tiny, but switched to regular baby shampoo around 6 months. (We use Cetaphil cleanser when someone has a bad diaper rash, since it's gentler.)

Ditto this. We're a Cetaphil family too.

I do love the Johnson's Buddies bar soap. It has a cool netting around it so it doesn't slip out of little hands. I wish Cetaphil made a kid's soap with the washcloth covering on it like the Johnson's one.

 

Thanks for all the input, I appreciate it!

 

Chelley, the big kids use regular soap now and have been for a couple of years, but before that I used baby soap b/c of the stinging of the eyes. However, I use the Loreal shampoo for their hair and I have for a long time. It just didn't work as well once Renay's hair got a lot longer. HTH!

 

I have enough lotion and wash to not buy anything until they are like 5 years old. LOL... I received so much at my shower that i am serious when i say it wont need to be purchased for many years. LOL...
