I'm taking advantage of diaper changes to tell you about the products I use for babies! (My changing table is an old dry sink, isn't that cool?)

Baby Oil , designed for Jonathan with the best ingredients for babies: shea oil with calendula and that's it. So we have an oil super rich in carotenoids (it gives a beautiful complexion!). Everyone can use it, children too (especially those who have problems with redness). I massage baby when getting out of the bath with her and for her diaper change, since I don't use wipes, I simply take Baby Oil with a handkerchief (you can obviously use a very soft washcloth). It's pretty cool because calendula is soothing. To learn a little more about calendula, see this article here!

Then, if we have redness on the buttocks for example (or elsewhere), I use our vanilla shea butter to which I have added two sachets of zinc (we melt the contents of the shea butter in a bain-marie, remove from the heat and add the zinc, mix and put it back in the container, that's all, we only do it once): I put one sachet of zinc for my sun protection and two for baby's redness, which still makes a fairly white paste (like what you can find in pharmacies except that our balm is based on shea butter and not petroleum). To apply it, we warm it in our fingers or we can use a tissue and then spread it with it if we don't want to wash our hands afterwards! It's an absolutely extraordinary and really effective balm: the redness disappears the same day.
- And the last thing we need for baby is shampoo. Let's be clear: we don't need to wash baby's hair very often (I've only done it a few times since birth) (on the label, Pépito, designed by Mélanie Wallace). The shampoo is obviously natural. Its color is chamomile this time and I use it to wash baby. The pH is 5.5 (which is ultra ultra gentle). Yes, you can wash children and even adults with this shampoo, but when you have such a gentle pH, the cleansing effect you're used to is less. You really have to get out of the habit and get used to natural products again. I don't recommend it, for example, for washing hair for adults (perhaps for very very fine hair), it's dedicated to babies. For children, yes, but maybe not when the child has played outside and their hair is rather greasy! For bathing babies, fantastic, natural, gentle!
