A baby’s skin is typically very sensitive. Especially in their early days. That is why you need to choose the right shampoos and body wash for your baby! Now, you may be wondering how often should you wash your baby? Well, some experts actually do not recommend washing your baby too often. The reason being is that bathing a newborn baby too often may cause their skin to dry out. Therefore, the recommended amount of times to bathe your baby is 3 times a week! Since they are still babies, their skin hasn’t fully developed yet. To help ensure that your baby gets the best care during their bath, Beauty Insider has put together a list of the best baby shampoo and body wash! 

What Type of Shampoo & Body Wash To Choose

When choosing a shampoo or body wash for your baby, you should consider a number of things. For example, try to steer clear of products containing parabens, strong artificial fragrances, alcohol, sulfates, and phthalates. For shampoos, avoid sulfates, parabens and phthalates. These ingredients can be harsh on a baby’s skin and cause irritation or dryness. Sometimes, they might even cause allergic reactions! For body washes, try to look for natural and gentle formulas. You should also opt for shampoos that use mild and natural ingredients. For example, look out for ingredients such as calendula flowers and fruit oils.
