bad reaction to Johnson's calming soap?

Kristi221 · March 2011

Anytime I have given M a bath with the purple Johnson & Johnson's calming moisture bath soap, it ends with her screaming. I thought at first she just didn't like the tub being in the kitchen sink, so we've moved it to the bathtub. I hadn't used the purple stuff in a while because her baths weren't right before bed, but last night it was so I thought I'd try it. She was fine at first but after about 5 minutes, she started crying and ended up screaming even while I was getting her dried off and dressed.

I haven't seen any redness or rashes, but I wonder if maybe she's allergic to it? I have sensitive skin and could never use the fancy scented bath soaps or salts.

Any other LO's have a bad reaction to that soap? She's ok with the lotion, just not the soap.

H hasn't but I have! In 1T I got a BAD UTI from that stuff.

He didn't but I did. We bathe him with me holding him and everywhere Johnson's baby wash touched on me, it made me feel like my skin was on fire (mostly my legs and stomach because of how he was sitting). It gave me what looked more like a burn than a rash. Once I showered with cool water afterwards it went away. We immediately got rid of everything Johnson's and switched to aveeno, haven't had any more problems. I researched and it looks like Johnson's baby wash does contain allergens even though it calls itself hypoallergenic.

LO had a really bad reaction to Johnson& Johhnson Shampoo. We've switched to Aveeno since then. DH worked at J&J before and stocked up on baby products when he had a discount so luckily DS1 can use it.
