Infacare Baby Bath REVIEW

A while back we were sent a lovely big bottle of Infacare ultra mild baby bath. On the bottle it says 'Infacare Ultra Mild Baby Bath does more than just clean gently, it helps care for your baby's skin too'.

It also states to be suitable for babies and children who may have sensitive and/or dry skin. This appealed to me as Eliot has suffered from baby eczema particularly on his legs. Therefore I am wary about what I use at bath times. However, we have had no problems with the Infacare baby bath, Eliot's skin has agreed with it and there hasn't been a bit of eczema in sight. It has been very gentle on his squishy baby skin and it smells lovely too, fresh but delicate! It creates lots bubbles for bath time and sensory fun.

 

Eliot has loved his bath time from the early days and it has been a wonderful way for him to relax and stimulate his senses. We have recently started using the main bath and he loves nothing more but to lay back and kick and splash in the bubbles.

 

Linda Blair, who is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, a Chartered Scientist, an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society, and a Registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council says...

 

"Bath time provides an ideal opportunity to tune in to your baby, a time
to reflect on what your baby might be thinking.  All that fun playing with
bubbles can help them to learn through touch and play, and parents can
learn to recognise what their baby is trying to tell them."

 

So bath time for little ones is not only about getting clean but also learning through their senses.

 

Infacare baby bath ultra mild is suitable to use with babies 1 month old and over. It is available in 400ml and 750ml bottles. You can pick it up at several major retailers, such as Asda, Boots and Wilkinsons. It is also available to buy online from Amazon and other online sites.

miamoo Products Review

miamoo skincare products were founded by Saira Khan after years of suffering with very dry skin. At university Saira spent time researching the effects that products can have on different skin types. During this time Saira found her own self care routine to benefit her skin. You can read more of the story here.

As a child I was lucky enough to not have any problems with dry skin. As a young adult I developed a seasonal form of eczema on my hands. It occurs in the colder weather but is also extremely irritated by household cleaning products. I've been prescribed medicated creams which do the job but can make my skin feel much worse before it gets better.

 When Eliot developed some very dry patches of skin and was diagnosed with eczema I was hoping we wouldn't need to use a steroid cream but unfortunately this was one of the potions prescribed for him. I was not keen on putting this on my young baby so would only apply if it became very dry which happens on and off.

So when the opportunity came to review the miamoo travel goodies I jumped at the chance. I'm always on the lookout for products that are free from the 'nasties' to use on Eliot's skin. In all honesty I'm always dubious about whether they'll help or not. However I have been extremely impressed with the miamoo products!

It arrived...

                                           For the bath! 'Splashy Wash' & 'Fresh Locks Shampoo'





 Bath all prepped & ready to go.

To kick off our daily bath routine I've been adding a splash of splashy wash to the water to create some bubble fun! Once Eliot is in I lather it up and give him a wash.  I really love the fresh fragrance of the splashy wash with lemon oil, soya bean, aloe vera, jojoba, chamomile and Vitamin E extracts.  The fresh locks shampoo smells just as divine with aloe vera, jojoba, soya bean, rosemary, silk and vitamin E extracts  They in combination with the other miamoo products have made a real difference to Eliot's skin.

The spritz & wipe has been a great alternative to wipes at changing times. It again smells incredibly fresh and cleans off mess easily. I have also found it fantastic for quick cleaning when Eliot has had some reflux and pongs of sick. Along with a change of clothes it leaves Eliot squeaky clean without any 'reflux pong'!

After drying off we move on to step 2. I've been using the cheeky cream mainly on Eliot's cheeks as they can get very dry and it really has made them silky soft! I 've also used it on his bum but not enough to say it's made a difference to any redness.

Inspecting the huggy lotion

 I have been applying the huggy lotion all over but have paid particular attention to his legs as that's where his eczema occurs. Finally I've been using the baba oil with its delicious scent of lavender, on his dry areas.

The first morning after using the miamoo range I noticed a significant difference to Eliot's skin. It was smoother, softer and his dry patches were not as dry. It was a very pleasant surprise as I didn't expect to see results so quickly. After over week of using miamoo products on Eliot's skin in his daily routine, the eczema has disappeared.

I haven't used it on myself but have seen a difference in the skin on my hands through applying it to Eliot.

I have no doubts in recommending miamoo skincare to anyone. Whether it's for adult, baby or child, if you have dry, sensitive skin or are just steering clear of products with all the 'nasties 'it's definitely worth trying!

When  we've almost run out I'll be ordering some more to help keep Eliot's Eczema at bay!

Review-Green People Organic Babies Wash & Lotion

We were lucky enough to be sent two products from the Green People, the scent free baby wash and shampoo and the scent free dry skin lotion. Both of which are perfect for Eliot as he has mild eczema.

 Green People specialise in Organic products, not just for kids but for all the family! They have a fantastic choice to cover all your needs! None of their range has ever been tested on animals which is an important factor for me. The Vegetarian Society has approved all of their products and TheVegan Society has registered many of them.

What stands out for me is that these products are free from 'nasties' such as parabens. I feel reassured that what I'm putting in Eliot's bath, moisturising his skin with have formulas that won't irritate his skin and don't contain chemicals.

The Scent Free Baby Wash & Shampoo...

I had been washing Eliot's hair as little as possible as his scalp can be particularly dry. Using a regular baby shampoo seemed to dry it out even more. He would start itching his head soon after a bath and hair wash, however this does not happen since we've been using this! I also love that it doubles up as a wash. As Eliot suffers with reflux he can get quite stinky regardless of how many bibs or clothes changes we've been through! Therefore I do like to use something extra to wash him with to give him a good clean! You don't need to use a lot of this either, it lathers up really well. Therefore will last! When we run out I think I'll be buying their lavender baby wash to help Eliot relax at bathtime as it's just before bed.

The Scent Free Dry Skin Baby Lotion...

This has a lovely, non greasy formula which is easily absorbed into the skin. This is great after bath time when you want to get your little one wrapped up as soon as possible. It  has worked well on Eliot's skin and has not caused him any irritation.  

I definitely recommend these two products and will be purchasing more of their baby range! I also have my eye on products for me too!

Have you tried any of the Green People's range?
