Do you remember walking into the department store when you where having your first child and getting ready to shop until you drop, for all those wonderful, cute, baby smelling products. I do it was amazing. I remember I could have shopped for days and not have went home, until I came upon the shampoo's, lotions and powders. I stood in that isle looking and bending and talking on my cellphone for probably a good hour trying to figure out which one would be good for my child and why!

There are many names out there for baby products, such as:

* Johnson's and Johnson's
* Aveeno
* Huggies

Plus many more brand names, maybe you just haven't heard of them yet. You will also find there is natural and botanical products that are not brand named but are said to be better then the brand names because they do not have preservatives and chemicals in them. Names such as"

* Mustela - Which is a company that has been in business since the 50's and offers baby skin care products with almond oil and promises no harsh ingredients and is perfectly safe for babies skin.

* Uperea - Which is a Canadian and United States affiliated company and guarantee's no harmful ingredients and also states to have healing compounds in their products.

It is all up to the parents and relatively what the baby will need once he or she is born as well. It all goes from normal skin, sensitive skin, fragrance's, rashes and cradle cap even. A variety of products out there offer many different things and really sometimes the brand name ones are not the best. In all honesty it is up to your child. Don't use them as a tester really but just be careful in your decision and remember when your baby is happy, so are you!
