AVEENO Baby "Bonding Bathtime Moments" Parent-to-Parent Newsletter - #Giveaway

At AVEENO^® Baby, they  understand that bath time is so much more than just getting your babies clean, it’s an opportunity to bond with your little one.  We’ve enlisted moms Jeanine Downie, M.D. and Anya Sarre to share tips to help you make the most of this special bonding experience – allowing you both some much-needed time to relax and unwind together.

 Dr. Jeanine Downie is mom, board certified dermatologist and director of her own practice, Image Dermatology P.C. in Montclair, N.J. She specializes in both adult and pediatric dermatology and completed two years of Pediatric residency at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. 

How often should you bathe your little one and for how long?

I recommend that you bathe your baby every other day for no more than 10 minutes, and then consistently wipe their private parts and their neck once or twice a day. When my daughter was young, I used AVEENO^® Baby Wash & Shampoo on her sensitive skin.

Why is baby skin so sensitive?

Babies have ultra-sensitive skin for two reasons: first, it is very thin and second, they have not yet built up a tolerance to many products that are typically used in everyday life. 

What ingredient(s) should you look for in baby bathtime products and after-bath lotions?

Bathtime products – Look for products that are pediatrician recommended, hypoallergenic and soap-free.

After-bath products – Look for products that contain colloidal oatmeal, glycerin and dimethicone.  Also look for products that are hypoallergenic and pediatrician recommended. I recommend AVEENO^® Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream, which is formulated with colloidal oatmeal and clinically proven to moisturize for 24 hours and soothe dry, sensitive skin.

 Anya Sarre is a mom, stylist, fashion, beauty and lifestyle expert and tastemaker. She has regularly guest lectured at USC for both undergraduate and graduate classes in the Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism (her alma mater).

 “My schedule can be very hectic so I really look forward to bathtime with my son, Sawyer, every night. It's “calm” time for me and play-time for him, and a special time for both of us to spend together. Bathtime is not just about getting my baby clean. It is an activity I look forward to each day where I get to play, splash and bond with my baby.”

My Thoughts

 The Aveeno Soothing Relief Moisture Lotion leaves skin feeling rose-petal soft.  The baby lotion is gentle and safe for even a newborn's skins and can even be used by adults with sensitive skin issues like eczema. It goes on smooth and has no greasy residue. It comes in a nice squeeze bottle for easy access. It is made with soothing oatmeal and its unscented. It  works well enough that I could use it on my own skin with results that were just as impressive.  

 The Baby Wash & Shampoo is gentle enough that it doesn't burn little eyes or irritate baby's delicate skin.  It also leaves his skin feeling rose-petal soft, and there are no heavy perfumes. It lathers nicely and never leaves your skin feeling sticky. It's a refreshing and tear free formula that works as both a wash and a shampoo, saving space and money.
