Everyone knows little babies have extremely sensitive skin. When I was preparing for my baby sprout I was convinced that Kiehl’s was going to be the right brand for my little one. After all, my extremely picky sister- in-law used it for my nephew and he had/has gorgeous skin. I bought their cleaners for the body, cleaner for the face, diaper rash cream, and their baby cream. All of their products do not have a strong scent so it was a plus for me. But when I started using their baby cream on my little one, she had some breakouts so I stopped using it. To this day I use their cleaners and the diaper rash cream and I am extremely poor (since they are really pricey) but very happy with the result. If you are looking to buy Kiehl’s products in the Los Angeles Area and save some money, go get it at Blooming’s which is located inside Koreatown Plaza. (Koreatown Plaza is located on the corner of Western and 9th st. in Koreatown) Blooming’s always pays the sales tax for you so you can save almost 10% if you are buying from them.

Since my bean’s skin didn’t agree with the Kiehl’s lotion, I started reading through mommy chat rooms for the right lotion for her. Lots of moms who had babies with sensitive skin raved about Cetaphil Cream. So I switched. I liked the price too. (much cheaper than Kiehl’s) Her skin got better within couple of days so I was pretty happy with it. As I was reading more on chat rooms, I found out that it had some chemicals that might not be so good for such a young baby so I switched again. I didn’t have to switch to a new one because it was working fine for my bean sprout but after hearing that it has chemicals I just wasn’t too comfortable using it on my little precious bean.

There are so many organic lotions out there but based on the convenience factor (if I forget to order it online before it runs out I can run to the closest Whole Foods and pick one up) I have been using California Baby Moisturizing Cream for the past 3 days and so far and my little one’s skin and I are both happy.

So future mommys who are reading, you might have to go through a couple brands of lotion before you settle on one, so don’t stockpile on lotion before your baby sprout is born. I learned my lesson.
