Parenting Tip – Baby Care Products You Ought To Know

Child birth is really an amazing feeling that only a mother can understand. However the most amazing part of giving birth to a baby is to get ready for the arrival of the baby and shop for a variety of baby care products. You need to shop for a lot of things, those super cute tiny socks, pom pom caps, too cute burping clothes, bagful of diapers, tiny undershirts and much more. 

However when it comes to grooming your baby, less is always more. Forget the fragrant shampoos or lotions; rather go in with few basic infant supplies. Here’s a list of baby care essentials that you need to have around when your little bundle of joy arrives. 

Baby Grooming Products

Newborn baby’s skin is tender and even soap can cause rashes therefore make sure you have these grooming products to keep his skin supple and healthy.

·         Cotton Balls

For the initial weeks, choose to skip the soap and clean the tender skin of your new born with a cotton ball dipped in plain water. This is the gentlest way of cleaning him. Sterile cotton balls are also traffic to wipe those beautiful eyes of your baby as cotton swabs are not safe to use on small children. 

·         Baby Wipes

After a few weeks of cleaning your baby with plain water and cotton balls, gradually move on to diaper wipes. Pick up wipes that are fragrance and alcohol free and keep some in your purse as they are great for cleaning leaking diaper spill and spit-up on clothes. 

You can also go in with reusable cloth diaper wiper, if you find out that your baby is allergic to paper wipes. However don’t go over the board and collect them in dozens as you don’t know whether your baby is allergic to it or not. You can even opt to buy diapers online.

 

·        Baby Oil

Keep baby oil handy as it is one of the best ways to get rid of cradle cap. Put some baby oil on a cotton ball and wipe away the sticky poop off the baby skin. However there is no need to cover up your baby in oil every day as suggested by many people. 

·         Baby Shampoo

Pick up a tear free formula baby shampoo as this will not make your baby cry. While shampooing hair, foam tends to get into the eyes as infants do not always keep their eyes close. So picking up a tear free formula would be a good choice. 

·         Skin Care Ointment

If you go to a pediatrician, he will definitely recommend a skincare ointment to start with. You can also experiment with different creams to find out what suits his skin the best. 

·         Soft Baby brush

There are a lot of styling tools available to keep the little head fuzz free. If you baby has a lot of head hairs, use the soft baby brush to detangle the hairs after a hair bath.

Remember to keep your little one all groomed up to make him looking adorable. Moreover keep all the supplies out of his reach or else everything will just end up in his mouth.
