Bathing your baby with the best products (organic) is a great investment because in the long run your baby maintains healthier with out him/her absorbing all of the chemicals that non organic creams and shampoos have. Lets face it, babies have the newest most softest skin than any adult out there, lets not let anything go into there small beautiful pores.

Thank you for defining homeopathy. I think this is ideal for babies and young children.

I love going to Whole Foods' Body Department. There is always a new natural product to discover. I especially love smelling the essential oils.

I never really understood the importance of skincare until I was in my teens and dealing with acne. It starts at birth though and natural is the only way to go for my babies!

I've always had skin irritation from products with heavy scents so it's been a little easier to shop for baby too.

Which natural / organic products are recommended for diaper rash ?

We have a wonderful line of natural Neem body lotions. Several of our customers have used them successfully to treat diaper rash. Currently these lotions are available at Whole Foods Markets in the South Region only. We are working on making them available in other regions as well. In the meantime you can order at JustNeem.com.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
