What kind of baby shampoo did you use on your newborn?

    I liked Mustela. I've heard great things about California Baby too. I did not like the Aveeno baby line, it seemed to dry her out.

    We use Burt's Bees bubble bath as soap and "shampoo." DD has very little hair. I am wondering in all these responses, are you all using a separate shampoo? Or one product for skin/hair?

    @winniebee: Mine too-I used Mustela on a baby I used to nanny for so registered for it and was happy to receive it when I was pregnant! It also lasts a LONG time-My son is 9 months old and we only just started our second bottle of it. I love it!

    Burst bees. I think they changed the scent though can't stand the smell now so boy be buying it anymore. I'll probably try mustela next.

    We used mustela newborn shampoo which is great if your baby has cradle cap at all!

    We used the burts bees baby. As he got older it did not seem to get him as clean (he has stinky feet!) but I loved the smell. Sometimes I use the little extra we still have just to get the smell back.

    The first two weeks we just used water. I tried Burts Bees but it gave DS red spots on his face that went away after a couple hours. He I tried the Honest that someone gifted us and it worked great! All are scented, and DS has cradle cap. Ped suggested Aquaphor for it, but I have so much other shampoo/body wash to use up, and Aquaphor is so expensive, and the cradle cap isn't that bad, so I'm gonna stick with the Honest.

    We were gifted California Baby, Burt's Bees Baby, and Aveeno. I wanted to use California Baby but I actually felt like it was more drying. We just used up everything we had but when we started buying it ourselves (she was 7 or 8 months by then!) I bought Aveeno.

    we use Honest Company shampoo and body wash since A was born and I love it. it has a very faint scent and is very gentle and all natural. i love Mustela for the scent, but only use their lotion and baby massage oil.

    I loved mustela - I went through about 5 washes bc of his sensitive skin and found that was the most mild - the mustela stelatopia cream cleanser to be specific. I loved their stelatopia line!

    We used the unscented Burts Bees baby wash/shampoo, but only really needed soap on her hair (she was born with a ton and it got greasy quickly when she was younger, though now she can go for days without washing it if she doesn't get food/paint/whatever in it) and in the folds of her neck where milk likes to collect and get stinky. Now we use the unscented foaming Earth Mama Angel Baby soap, which we like but you have to be careful because it's not tear-free.

    We've been using Burts Bees shampoo and body wash pretty much since birth. We tried CA Baby first and I really didn't like it. I love the way Burts Bees smells, and it's never once irritated his skin.

    @ineebee: I'm only looking at Amazon but it looks like Aquaphor and Babyganics is the cheapest fragrance free and roughly the same price but CA baby is almost double.

    I'm going to try the aquaphor and the Babyganics first and try others if I have issues.

    I looove the scent of Mustela but my son has super sensitive skin and some patches of eczema, so we switched to the Babo Botanicals shampoo. I don't like the scent of it at all, but it cleans his hair without aggravating his cradle cap/eczema.

    Babyganics foaming wash. It lasts forever. We just finished the three pack we originally bought on amazon and our LO is almost 2! I'd recommend buying their lotion too. Amazon had great coupons that combined with subscribe and save discount makes it a very affordable option.

    @sarah.clarisse: cool! Yeah, I bought the 3 pack on Amazon because there was a coupon or a 20-30% off sale. Plus, i ordered a few more items to get the additional 15% off. If yours lasted 2 years than one should last about a year. Good to know!

    I don't know about fragrance free, but I used the Shea Moisture organics baby wash and shampoo for my twins from the day we got home till today. They acoth have sensitive skin and it NEVER dried out their skins. Plus on the soft smell too.

    ETA they actually have a fragrance free alternative too http://www.sheamoisture.com/Fragrance-Free-Gluten-Free-Baby-Wash-Shampoo_p_777.html

    @bluestriped bee: We love Babyganics. Everything else gave him eczema (even the Aveeno lotion FOR eczema). Hopefully you'll love it! I think there is a light scent, though?
