at what age did you start using something other than just water to bath your baby?
and what did you use?

I've completely forgotten what I did with DS and I think that DD perhaps now does need a bit more of an actual 'clean' as she's moving around a bit and touching everything.

TIA

Check labels on baby bath products, there are some you can use from birth, but most are 6 months.

i use boots head to toe wash or something... ds definitely needs it now as there is usually food all over him and all kinds of other muck!

have been using it for quite a while now, he's almost 8 months

I've used a drop or two of lavender oil in her bath since she was tiny ( a few weeks) and have used baby bath bubbles at least since she was a few month's old - just a little at first to check she has no adverse reaction.

These days (she's 9 months) she has a bath with her brother quite often and he uses bubble bath and soap and it doesn't seem to bother dd.
