So, we have been using Johnson %26amp; Johnson Lavendar scented baby shampoo (3x per week) and the same brand/scent lotion everyday. I don't know if this article is hype or what, but maybe I should find new baby lotion/shampoo just in case? I was looking through the list of different products that show a 0 risk (Johsnons was a 5 if I remember correctly) and they are all brands I have never heard of. I live in the US (FL to be exact) does anyone know where I can pick up some baby lotion/shampoo that is phthalate-free?? I'm sure I can order some online, but I would like to find a local store (Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target, etc.) Any tips? Ideas?
Thank you!! :)Baby Lotions %26amp; Shampoos FREE of Phthalates?
I've been using the Aveeno moisturizer/baby soap (it can be used with or without water) I think its rated 0 or 1. (I looked it up before)
That site is a bit hype and a bit truth. The thing with the J%26amp;J's Lavender that actually concerns me most is the potential linke between lavender and hormone disruption.

aveeno is a good name brand you can buy at walmart or target, though some of its baby products have high ratings, so check for the specific product before you buy. i've also seen california baby at target in the baby section.
I never buy ';name brands'; at box stores.........I only buy natural products at homeopathic stores. check your local phone directory
i know Burt's Bees is free of all that... i don't know how available it is in FL, i'm on the west coast, but it's all over the place here (grocery stores, Target, etc)
how the heck are they rating it?!?
on their website they say ';they are SLS-, phthalate- and paraben-free';.... so they must be rating it on something OTHER than phthalate concentration... interesting... http://www.burtsbees.com/webapp/wcs/stor鈥?/a>
edit: yeah, all the conflicting info! i'm looking for the same thing as you, something safe for baby but easy to find... it seems impossible!! i think i'll just use as little product as possible, and only when necessary!

What is a good shampoo for african american babies hair? johnson & johnson's is a no go!!!!!?
Pantine is super cool.use itWhat is a good shampoo for african american babies hair? johnson %26amp; johnson's is a no go!!!!!?
When I was at Walgreens I noticed a product called ';Soft %26amp; Precious'; and it says it's specially made for African-American babies. If you have a WalGreens try there, or maybe try another pharmacy.
Here is a link to what it looks like:

http://www.softandprecious.com/What is a good shampoo for african american babies hair? johnson %26amp; johnson's is a no go!!!!!?
soft and precious in the pink label
Soft %26amp; Precious is what a lot of moms use. It is commonly available at drugstores %26amp; at Walmart. Black babies' hair should not be washed too often. 1 x wk at most. It can dry out too easily. But it is good to massage a little bit of natural oil on their scalp like jojoba oil, shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil. every day.
some babies are allergic to j%26amp;J go to a health food store there are too many harsh chemicals in store shampoo for anyone.
Try the TCB lines. They're strictly for african american hair..and their shampoos can also be used on children too.. These come with some much needed added moisture and shine too.

Do any of you Moms still use the Baby Washes/Shampoos they said had traces of lead in them?
Everything I use on my Daughter was on the list.
We use the Aveeno Baby Wash- Because she has dry skin, and sensitive, and eczema.
For her hair, we use Johnsons %26amp; Johnsons Baby Shampoo
I dont know what to do- I dont want to harm her with continued use, but everything else I've tried breaks her skin out. Is this just a hype because scientists are bored, or is this a really alarming notice?
Also, what do you use to wash/shampoo your babies? If you use products they have said have traces of lead in it, will you continue to use? Why/why not?Do any of you Moms still use the Baby Washes/Shampoos they said had traces of lead in them?
What is the world coming to!!!! Now we can't even give our children a bath!!!!! I use Huggies and Johnson %26amp; Johnson products and have ever since Liam was born. That is very very scary and down right irresponsible of those companies!!!!!!!! Thank you for letting us know about this because I had not heard of that and thank you for posting the link!Do any of you Moms still use the Baby Washes/Shampoos they said had traces of lead in them?
I use huggies baby wash, I never heard that there was lead in any of the products, it's scary, you try to protect them and sometimes theres hidden dangers, my son likes to suck on so many things (books, tags on toys, the phone) im always wondering what he may have ingested. have they been recalled or anything? I think skin exposure doesn't allow much absorption.
I never heard of lead being in baby products!
I have heard of formaldehyde being in baby soaps, which may lead to cancer.
And no, I no longer use those products. I began buying a organic all natural wash for my son now.
Here is the article on the formaldehyde. If you have an article about lead, please post it as I have heard no such thing.
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-N鈥?/a>
No more Shea butter wipes for us, I guess. Insert tear wiping her.
Yes - I use several of the products on the list - Aveeno baby soap/shampoo, Huggies wipes and others.
Yikes. I'll finish what I have up and print the lists to go shopping with me next time.
Thank you sooooo much for the heads up - I really appreciate it!
(:
Holy crap! Excuse my language but I have NOT heard of that! Can you post a link about it; the story you read??
I used Johnson's at the beginning %26amp; more recently use Aveeno unscented %26amp; the lotion unscented as well. Helps w/her skin.
Please post a link if you can.
THANK you for posting some. I appreciate it.
Thank you for posting this as I had not heard about it until now.
Try your local natural foods store. Brands that you could try: Burt's Bees, California Baby, Kiss My Face, Dr. Bronner's Castile soap (my least favorite, especially using it for shampoo). I don't know for positive off the top of my head that these brands are formaldehyde free, so check the label.
When reading the labels of things, keep in mind that the ingredient list may have it under another name. This site lists some (toward the bottom of the page). http://www.lotusorganics.com/articles/Fo鈥?/a>

My 3 mo old son has cradle cap. Tried baby oil, brush and shampooing. Keeps coming back. what else can I do?
The flakes would be less that day but it would just come back the next day. I also don't know if the little pimples on his scalp means it's inflamed and would need to see his doctor.My 3 mo old son has cradle cap. Tried baby oil, brush and shampooing. Keeps coming back. what else can I do?
You can use head and shoulder's. A little bit goes a long way.
My daughter had it and her doctor said to use that and it will go away. And it did and it never came back.
Good luck to you.My 3 mo old son has cradle cap. Tried baby oil, brush and shampooing. Keeps coming back. what else can I do?
It can be fungal. You can either use a small amount of antifungal shampoo (such as head and shoulders) or more natural remedies such as mild vinegar or lemon solution, or grapefruit seed extract.
If your baby is formula fed you might consider adding probiotics to the formula. If you are breastfeeding and you take probiotics they will appear in your milk, because of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding it is not better to give the baby probiotics separately until they start non-breastmilk foods.
If you are breastfeeding and a vegetarian you may need some extra B vitamins, though among vegetarians and vegans it is controversial as to whether a vegetarian or vegan diet is really lacking in B vitamins.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_cap
Causes
The cause of cradle cap is not clearly defined but it is not caused by an infection, allergy nor from poor hygiene. Possibly it has to do with overactive sebaceous glands in the skin of newborn babies, due to the mother's hormones still in the baby's circulation. The glands release a greasy substance that makes old skin cells attach to the scalp as they try to dry and fall off. There may be a relationship with skin yeasts (Pityrosporum ovale, newly renamed Malassezia furfur). Nutritionally oriented practitioners have speculated that the disorder is caused by the baby's immature digestive system being unable to absorb sufficient biotin and other vitamins of the B-complex.
Warning signs
Home remedies are appropriate with mild cases. If the condition thickens, turns red and irritated, starts spreading, appears on other body parts, or if the baby develops a persistent diaper rash, medical intervention is recommended. Fungal infection (tinea capitis) and scabies can mimic cradle cap.
Cradle cap is occasionally linked to immune disorders. If the baby is not thriving and has other problems (e.g. diarrhoea), consult a doctor.
Treatment
[edit] Scalp, behind ears, eyebrows
The common advice of applying (vegetable or mineral) oil liberally to the scalp and letting it soak in overnight or for lesser periods of time seems to conflict with the fact that Malassezia yeasts thrive in oily environments. If the cradle cap is not severe, you may try to comb it out gently after bathing. The softened scales can then be brushed away with a soft brush, comb or cloth, but if not done very gently, this can worsen the condition and bring about temporary hair loss. There has been no study done on these recommendations.
Applying petroleum jelly (e.g., Vaseline) liberally overnight is another popular treatment. The softened scales either fall off during the night, or can be brushed off in the morning.
Making a paste from sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and leaving it on the affected area for 10 minutes can also help lift the scales.
There is broad disagreement regarding the role of shampoos. Some sources warn against frequent shampooing, others recommend it. Mild baby shampoo is often recommended, while never specifying what ';mild'; actually means. Baby shampoos often contain detergent surfactants, perfumes, quaternium-15 and other eczemagenic irritants. Again, no studies have been performed.
Keratolytic (dandruff) shampoos (e.g with sulfur, selenium, zinc pyrithione, or salicylic acid) are generally not recommended as they sting eyes and may worsen the dermatitis. In stubborn cases some doctors do recommend them while others warn against the use of medicated shampoos in newborns due to systemic absorption. Dandruff shampoos often contain sodium dodecyl sulfate, a noted skin irritant.[1]
Steroid and tar preparations have also been used but have significant drawbacks. Immunomodulators (tacrolimus/Protopic, pimecrolimus/Elidel) have not been approved for babies under two years.
Ketoconazole shampoos and creams are taking first place in medical treatment of moderate to serious cradle cap. Research so far indicates that this anti-fungal medication is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Ketoconazole shampoo is currently made with a number of problematic irritants and allergens.
A Swedish study[citation needed] found good results from massaging the scalp with small amounts of borage oil twice a day. # Tolleson, A., and Frithz, A. 1993. Borage oil: an effective new treatment for infantile seborrheic dermatitis. Brit. J. Dermatol. 129:95.
Other home remedies recommended in various alternative sources and parent forums are herbal washes (e.g burdock or chamomile), aloe gel, and tea tree oil (Melaleuca oil) shampoo. Tea tree oil and aloe can be sensitizers; any worsening should be an occasion to discontinue the remedy in question. Both remedies have been tested in medical trials and found useful.[citation needed]
You might just have to give it time. Have you ever seen a toddler with cradle cap? It always goes away eventually.
My son had cradle cap, I put baby oil, brushed it, and used special shampoo etc but this just seemed to aggravate it, baby oil is actually really bad to put on their scalp, so I tried olive oil and stopped washing his scalp and it cleared up within days, I know its not that simple for everyone but it seemed the more I messed with it the worse it got
Mustella makes a great shampoo wash for craddle cap, I know they have it at Babies-R-Us and Land of Nod.
*raising hand* My daughter still has ';cradle cap'; aka dandruff. ;-P I highly recommend gentle naturals cradle cap treatment. Worked SOOO freaking well. I would bet the little pimples are clogged pores from the oils.
GL!
My son had a really bad cradle cap. My monther-in-law said it was the worst she has ever seen. I tried many things, but nothing helped. The cradle cap eventually went away. It took about two months. The only consistent thing we did was to wash his hair every second night and scraped it a little bit.
rub petroleum jelly on it and put him on a hat. It worked for my child.
My daughter still has it shes almost 9 months Ive done the whole oil brush thing also and it will lighten a bit then just come back I figure screw it LOL it will eventually go away its not like its hurting her.

My 3-month-old baby has lots of hair and I find some flakes on her sculp. Is shampooing once a week too much?
my baby just got the same thing (cradle cap) about a week ago(she also has lots of hair), I rubbed olive oil on her hair aand scalp and used a baby comb and combed in small circles and then against the hair growth with the comb flat against her scalp(be careful over the soft spot!) until the flakes stopped showing up (clean the comb off every few minutes, alternate circles and comb flat against scalp) then wash good, wash every couple days, repeat oil and combing when you see more flakes. It took me about 2 hours of combing to get rid of her flakes even though it only seemed to be a small area . her scalp looks fine now.
good luck!My 3-month-old baby has lots of hair and I find some flakes on her sculp. Is shampooing once a week too much?
Sounds like cradle cap...my friend (a pediatrician) told me to put a dime sized amount of selsun blue on my baby's hair, rub it in and leave it for a couple of minutes while I finish the rest of her bath. Repeat this every other day for a total of three treatments. It worked like a charm! I wish I knew this for my first daughter whose hair was almost non-exsistent.
Also, cradle cap will go away if you do nothing at all. Using a soft brush can help minimize the visual flakes! Good Luck!My 3-month-old baby has lots of hair and I find some flakes on her sculp. Is shampooing once a week too much?
your baby has cradle cap, its pretty common , its just like an over growth of dandruff babies get. I would suggest washing her hair more often, and rubbing baby oil on it. See if you can gently comb off some of the flakes while its soft, so just when she comes out of the bath. You should shampoo her hair every other day.
NO SHE PROBABLY HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS CRADLE CAP. ITS AN OVER PRODUCTION OF THE OIL THAT COATS OUR HAIR. RUB A SMALL BIT OF BABY OIL INTO HER SCALP ONCE OR TWICE A DAY AND THEN BRUSH HER HAIR FOR A WHILE. IF THAT DOESNT WORK THEN YOU CAN GO BUY SOME CRADLE CAP STUFF AT ANY MAJOR CHAIN STORE IN THE BABY SECTION.
No, that is not too much. She has cradle cap. The best solution is a cradle cap brush (in the baby section) and the Gentle Natural's Cradle Cap Care (with Pooh bear on the front I think) at Walmart. It smells FANTASTIC and is the only thing that worked for my baby and my friend's baby.
It can be cradle cap. My daughter had this. The pediatrician had said to rub a little bit of olive oil into the dry areas (flaky areas) and use a soft bristled brush to break up the flaky part. After a few weeks it went away but was quite unsightly.
I doubt it. I have always bathed my daughter everyday. For a short time she had some cradle cap but it is harmless.
NO You could also try putting some baby oil on the hair and takeing a soft brush and rubbing some of those flakes out . That is what i did for caddle cap. That is what most women i know do.
do a search on cradle cap! Perfectly normal

nah thats fine it is probably just craddle cap most babies (with hair) get it - my son was born with lots of hair %26amp; he had it your doc should be able to give you something to take it away!! :)
she might have the starting of cradle cap, its nothing bad. just put baby oil on it and if that doesnt improve use a baby brush to remove excess skin and put baby oil on afterwardsmakeup products
good luck!My 3-month-old baby has lots of hair and I find some flakes on her sculp. Is shampooing once a week too much?
Sounds like cradle cap...my friend (a pediatrician) told me to put a dime sized amount of selsun blue on my baby's hair, rub it in and leave it for a couple of minutes while I finish the rest of her bath. Repeat this every other day for a total of three treatments. It worked like a charm! I wish I knew this for my first daughter whose hair was almost non-exsistent.
Also, cradle cap will go away if you do nothing at all. Using a soft brush can help minimize the visual flakes! Good Luck!My 3-month-old baby has lots of hair and I find some flakes on her sculp. Is shampooing once a week too much?
your baby has cradle cap, its pretty common , its just like an over growth of dandruff babies get. I would suggest washing her hair more often, and rubbing baby oil on it. See if you can gently comb off some of the flakes while its soft, so just when she comes out of the bath. You should shampoo her hair every other day.
NO SHE PROBABLY HAS WHAT IS KNOWN AS CRADLE CAP. ITS AN OVER PRODUCTION OF THE OIL THAT COATS OUR HAIR. RUB A SMALL BIT OF BABY OIL INTO HER SCALP ONCE OR TWICE A DAY AND THEN BRUSH HER HAIR FOR A WHILE.
