The Best Bath Products for Babies
Whether you are a first time mom looking for organic products for your newborn, or an experienced Mom looking to switch up your bathtime routine with something natural, there is quite a collection of great products out there to try!
After your baby is 7-10 days old and the umbilical cord falls off, bathtime will become a ritual for many years to come. So why not make it fun, and safe, for your little one? Instead of bombarding newborns, infants, and toddlers with lots of chemicals, perfumes, and dyes, it's best to pick products that are natural, organic, and mild.
A baby's skin is delicate and tends to be on the drier side, so don't strip her skin with harsh ingredients. Buy soaps, shampoos, body washes, and conditioners, that will get them clean in a natural and exciting way! Lots of soaps today have yummy smells made from natural fragrances such as banana, strawberry, and watermelon. Even California Baby's Bubble Bath includes a bubble wand to guarentee giggles in the tub!
Here I will list some of my favorites, to help ensure the next time your little one needs a bath, he will be happy, and naturally clean!
Yes to Baby Carrots Shampoo & Body Wash
I actually use the grown up version of this on my own hair and love it! (Yes to Carrots Nourishing Carrot Juice Shampoo and Conditioner)
Yes to Baby Carrots 100% Natural Gentle Foaming Shampoo & Body Wash pampers your little bundle of joy as it cleanses, nurtures and softens their delicate hair and skin. Go ahead, dress your baby up in that bath foam hat and beard, it's all-natural, safe, and super cute!

Happy Seeds Watermelon Foaming Hand Soap
With a name like that, how can you not feel happy when you use it? This new line of gluten, soy & nut free soap cleans hands, gently and naturally, and it's especially great for those with allergies! It is a light, fresh, watermelon scented soap that never leaves any residue on your hands, and looks so cute next to the bathroom sink. One other benefit to this soap is that for every bottle sold, 5% of sales goes to Talk About Curing Autism (TACA). Now that should make you feel great on the inside, as well as the outside too!
The hand soap is formulated using gentle organic fruit and vegetable-derived cleansers, soothing organic aloe vera, and conditioning rice protein.

California Baby Bubble Bath
As you can see, fun is in the bottle! There is a bubble wand included in the bottle, so you can use the bubble bath to blow bubbles while in the tub with your little one! And instead of harsh bubbling agents that can dry and irritate delicate skin, their green formulating process produces non-invasive formulas that combine 100% natural and organic bubbling ingredients such as organic soapbark, wild harvested yucca and super gentle glucosides.
The entire assortment of California Baby Bubble Baths are free of Sulfates, DEA, synthetic fragrances and other carcinogenic additives or by-products like dioxane. Choose from any of their fun and functional aromatherapy blends scented with pure high quality essential oils. My favorite is the one shown shown, Calendula (gentle and soothing). But I did switch to the Eucalyptus Ease Bubble Bath when Skye was coming down with the sniffles.

Primo EuroBath
PRIMO’s EuroBath makes bath time safe, fun and convenient for both baby and parents. It’s the first "smart" bath because its unique anatomical shape keeps baby in the ideal bathing position and prevents baby from slipping under the water. The extra large size and double position make PRIMO’s EuroBath perfect from the very first day of bathing up to baby’s second birthday, since it has 2 positions (Infant and Toddler positions).
o BPA Free, Lead Free, Phthalate Free
o Made in the USA. Can be recycled.
o EuroBath Inside Dimensions: 36"L x 21"W x 9"Deep

Little Twig Happy Tangerine Conditioning Detangler
This is my favorite conditioner that I use on Skye. Believe it or not, it is hard to find conditioners made for babies. I guess it's due to the fact that most babies don't have long enough hair to get tangled, but my daughter was born with a FULL set of hair, so I started using conditioner the day of her first birthday. It really helped the combing out process! Their Conditioning Detangler smooths and protects delicate hair, leaving it soft and shiny. It is fragranced with their uplifting blend of Happy Tangerine essential oils. The convenient pump will make bath time fun and easy. You can rinse it out or leave it in, and it is free of parabens and sulfates.
o Pediatrician Tested
o Paraben + Sulfate Free
o Hypoallergenic
o Nut, Soy and Wheat Free
o Phthalate Free
o No Synthetic Fragrances
o Ideal for Sensitive Skin

Clean Kids Naturally Banana Smoothie Detangler
Another great conditioner I found at Whole Foods. It was the only other conditioner they sold in the baby aisle besides California Baby's Hair Conidtioner, which was dollars more. So I bought the Banana Smoothie Detangler and it works great. You don't need a lot of it, only a small dollop and your baby's hair will be smooth and detangled.
My only caveat here is with the shape of the yellow top, whenever my hands are wet, I can never pull up on the top and open it without getting a towel and drying it off. But other than that, it's awesome! Kiwi extract and Seaweed strengthen and protect children's fine hair from the damaging effects of sun exposure and chlorine. It has all natural ingredients, no Parabens or Phthalates, and a special botanical essential oil blend leaves hair smelling yummy, silky, soft and shining.
o No Sulfates
o No Parabens
o Gluten/Wheat Free
o No Phthalates
o No Fluoride/Glycol
