Going Organic To Ward Off Allergies?
Recently my daughter had a rather scary (although very minor) reaction to a new baby shampoo, it wasn’t anything severe just worrying enough to warrant throwing out the whole bottle. Thankfully after a bit of a rinse off with water, she was good as new.
What I didn’t understand was simply it was a brand (going unmentioned) that I’ve used on her since her birth, just a slightly different formulation.
Truthfully it really got me thinking much more about what exactly is actually in the products that are used on babies, although I did write about some brands coming under fire recently it was put out of my mind for a bit.
Now however, it’s front and center.
When I was much younger (well, I still have it), I had a few allergies to soaps and anything highly fragrances. So, it’s looking like my daughter has been lucky enough to inherit this from me. (Sorry!) The only thing I could use without winding up a huge pile of crying itchy mess was Dove bar soap. For a girl who loves her bubble baths to this day, that was a hard pill to swallow.
Then again when I was a child they didn’t have this wealth of organic products without all the insane ingredients. So, there was a lot of trial and quite painful and itchy error trying to find something I could use.
Many people have recommended going fully organic with all of her bath things to ward off future reactions like I had. Although I’ll be talking to the pediatrician soon, going more organic is still something I’m going to do.
I’ve been leaning towards picking up the travel pack shown above for a trial run, from this website.
Before jumping however, curiosity struck me – what are your favorite organic (or simply hypoallergenic) baby bath products?
