If you pick the wrong soap it can be harmful to your baby’s skin. In this article I intend on giving you some pointers on how to choose the right soap for your baby.
Many people don’t understand that there are many different types of soap. And when it comes to baby soaps that’s another story. You worry about so many different things at bath time. You wonder if the water is the right temperature. You hope you are holding the baby right. Everything is slippery and you don’t want to let your baby slip. So with all this to worry about you shouldn’t worry about keeping your baby’s skin soft and safe.
Of course you want to do the best for your baby and of course you want your baby to be healthy. By keeping the child’s skin healthy that will go a long way towards maintaining the health of your baby. So in saying that I have a few points to find the right soap.
You need soap that is gentle
The soap should be hypoallergenic
The soap needs to be non-toxic
The soap should definitely be SLS free
It’s so important to make sure the baby soap is very gentle so that it is not irritating to your baby’s skin during bath time. Bath time is supposed to be pleasant so let’s keep it that way. At this young age you don’t know what your baby is allergic to yet so it’s very important to use hypoallergenic soap. Babies are always putting their hands and toes in their mouths so that’s why it’s very important to use soap that’s non toxic. It will give you peace of mind to know that if your baby does swallow some soap no harm will be done. Sodium Laurel Sulphate is a very harsh chemical used to help your soap foam. In some soaps the SLS has damaged immune systems and it has inflamed skin. Now I am absolutely positive this is something you don’t want to expose your baby to.
It’s not odd for your baby to develop the occasional bump or rash in the first few weeks and months. Most of these will come and go naturally but by all means if you have some concerns then you should see your doctor.
I would recommend using natural baby soap. These soaps are only made from natural ingredients. These ingredients insure that your babies skin will remain soft and safe. For many things natural soaps can even help to soothe rashes or small skin irritations.

The Car Seat That’s Right For Your Baby
I’m no idiot. I am a father and from day one I have always wanted what would be best and safest for my child. In this article I intend on giving all you new parents or soon to be parents some advice on choosing your car seat.
Everywhere you look you see car seats but you don’t know which one to purchase. Firstly you should check on the reputation of the manufacturer. Check out any consumer guides and make sure the seat has been crash tested. Make sure you also check for any recalls. Remember your choice will be made dependant on your research. So the last thing you should do before buying that seat is to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and make sure the seat will work in your vehicle.
1. Infant Only Car Seat. This seat usually comes with a detachable base. It will have higher weight and height limits. The harness slots can be changed to have the seat facing front or back. Also the slots can be adjusted to work with the size of your child. Handles that are folded down and hid while in the car can be unfolded and used for carrying your child.
2. Convertible Car Seats These are bigger and heavier and may not work for all newborns. This kind of seat is very easy to adjust and works well in a reclining position. To start you can use this seat backwards for most newborns and then when ready you can turn it around. All the straps on this seat are adjustable so that the straps can be set to the right height and width.
3. Forward Facing Seats Since these seats cannot be used facing the rear position it is absolutely no good for new borns. These are more for children over a year old and over twenty pounds. These can be used with either a lap or a lap and shoulder harness system.
4. Combination Seats These seats as well cannot be used in the rear position therefore can’t be used for babies. These seats are designed for 1 year olds over 20 pounds and eventually can be used for older children weighing 40 to 50 pounds. These can also be used with only a lap belt or a lap and shoulder belt.
5. Booster Seats these come in many different sizes but are for older children. Many of them come with shield boosters or padded bars that lock into place a lot like the bars on many carnival rides. You can get them with higher back supports for more comfort. Many times you can now buy some vehicles with booster seats built right into them. These are mostly found in vans. Checking for size restraints is very important when using these.
Okay so now you have picked a seat for your child. What you should do now is just do a double check to make sure it’s what you want. The seat has to be easy to work with. You have to put your children in and take them out so it could be a bit strenuous on you if you don’t pick the proper seat.
