Sweet Baby Gifts

i used all the original johnsons baby products when my daughter was born. i starting using the shampoo for straight hair, and the scented variety of lotions and body washes just before 1 year old. when should i buy her ‘big girl’ stuff? still tear free and scented, but not johnsons, nothing with the word ‘baby’ on it. when she can read possibly? or when she asks for ‘big girl’ stuff? or did you just decide one day to buy your child different stuff.

what is your experience, what age?

My daughter is 4 and I still use the baby stuff because I still haven’t used up everything I got for my baby shower. Whoever said "you can never have enough baby wash" was wrong.

If I didn’t have a massive stockpile to work through and if my daughter was asking for it, I’d get it so long as there wasn’t a significant price difference, but I don’t really see the rush.

I’m looking into baby products what are your favorite and why?

Diapers: BumGeinus cloth, and Shoppers Drugmart/Life Brand diapers
Diaper products: bum wipe and powder from Soapstones.ca (Canadian) as they don’t interfere with the cloth diapers and is softly scented.
Bath products: Soapstones.ca again. Their stuff is natural and doesn’t irritate my son’s skin or dry it out.

We tried Burt’s Bees and it was scented too strongly, same with most big-brand stuff, it’s too stinky and dried out my son’s skin really quick. Plus, I like to buy Canadian made natural products and these have been great. I got some as a baby gift and have been buying it ever since.

Same as my previous question but also taking our daughter who will be 3 months old when we fly out was just wondering what baby essentials u r allowed to take into the departure lounge

It may depend somewhat on the country from which you are leaving. I will assume you are leaving from the US, so I direct you to the TSA web pages about traveling with children, below. They are very lenient for parents taking children, and pretty much whatever supplies you need to take, you can, but check the web site for details. Some items, like large quantities of liquid formula need to be declared to the TSA people as you get to the front of the line, before you put your bags through the x-rya machine.

I have recently had a baby and would love to stay at home with her rather than go back to work 8-6 monday to friday! I am looking at starting up an internet based business selling baby products so that I am still a working mummy but don’t miss out on my little ones development. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can buy factory seconds for stores such as NEXT, Mothercare, Boots etc? Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

hi
Your curiosity is good as well as intentions,i dont know the exact answer,but factory seconds of baby products in the UK would be sold as factory first products to any small country!!!!!funny

I was wondering if anyone has found any good sites for getting sample products? Anything baby related or nursing or bottle or coupons anything useful.

when do you stop using baby products such as baby laundry detergent, baby safe household wipes, etc.? how old should your child be? (am i stuck paying more to buy the baby sutff for the rest of my life?)

How old is your child?

Mine is almost 2 1/2. I’ve NEVER used baby laundry detergent… Tide Free is what I’ve always used since I refused to buy "special" detergent. However, I still use baby bath soap, along with baby wipes and pull-ups (we’re working on potty training). Yesterday, I was thinking about switching his soap. It’s great soap, but it might be less expensive if we share.

I really don’t have an exact age since I still use plenty of baby items. But my personal opinion, you are the parent. No one can tell you how to raise your child. If you don’t want to use baby items, don’t. The only suggestion I would have is switch one item at a time. You never know what the child might be allergic to or have a sentimental issue with… i.e. baby shampoo equals bath and cuddletime. Switch an item, wait a week, if no "issues" make another switch.

Hope this helps.

I don’t really know if it’s weird or not. I was going to get baby shampoo and baby lotion for myself but I think it sounds really weird. I want your opinions with you age. Thanks!

It’s not weird, in fact, it may be better in some cases. Baby products are made to be gentler on skin, so if you have say allergies from the chemicals they put in adult products, this is a much better option. And some baby products are just great to have around anyway, for multiple uses. Baby oil removes make up, for instance. And baby wipes are good for quick freshening up. Some baby powder on the skin can help keep you dry and fresh, almost like deodorant.

Hi I want to buy essential Branded products for my nine month old nephew. .I live in the Mumbai and wanted to have a detailed checklist for all the essential baby products needed for a nine month old baby? Pls give me the list of product n from where I can I buy this?

There are no essential branded products for anyone of any age. Babies in particular couldn’t care less how trendy the labels on their equipment and clothes are.

Going to Lanzerote in may, flying from Birmingham airport(uk).Wanted to take powdered baby milk and baby jars of food in my suitcase,will this be ok? Also what are the rules about taking a bottle of baby milk in your handbag for your baby to have on the plane?

You are allowed to take those things in your suitcase, but make sure to pack the jars well so that they don’t break. Suitcases get thrown around a lot. Also, don’t put anything valuable in your suitcase because theft is more common that you’d think.

Regarding the rules for a bottle for baby, I’m not sure. I know that, in general, liquids can’t be in a larger container than 100 mL but they might make an exception for baby bottles. If the bottle is 100 mL or smaller you are definitely o.k. For a larger bottle, I’d call up the airline if I were you.
