We've been using Johnson and Johnson products when we give DS a bath. I've noticed that his skin is looking really dry and irritated so I'm going to try a different brand to see if it helps. Any suggestions??
I having the same problem. My mother says try aveno the oatmeal body wash until I read it's from the same company Johnson & Johnson. now I'm looking in burt's bee.
I LOVE this. Makes DD smell like honey and doesn't bother her eyes at all. A little pricey but as long as I stop stealing it for myself - it will last a long time.

I just started using Little Twig. It is hard not to eat him up after a bath because he smells so yummy! It definitely was less drying than the Aveeno we were using. I do put a little bit of lotion on him, especially on his legs which seem to get the driest (not his face, though).

We've only used Aveeno Lavender bath and lotion. DD's skin looks great... I was gifted a bunch of the unscented too, but tthe lavender really seems to calm her down for bedtime, so I don't want to switch it up. I also receieved a ton of J&J products, but IDK that I'm comfortable using them. H & I both have sensative skin, so I don't want to push our luck w/ DD's.

We use Little Twig Unscented and have very few issues with dry skin, and none with irritation. We also only bath her every 2-4 days, per doctors recommendations for reducing eczema.
Yes to Carrots. It's amazing, natural, and not that expensive on Amazon. I don't feel right putting chemicals on her skin, and Yes to Carrots has always worked great for DD1 (20 months) too.
We're using Burts Bees on our LO and it's been fine. I like the way she smells. Still, despite loving how she smells, I wonder if it's okay to have the purfume in it since her skin is so sensitive. I've thought of switching to California Baby. We threw the J&J the hospital gave us into the trash since it contains some questionable chemicals (other countries have banned them but in the US J&J still uses them).

We use California Baby calming. Seems to work really well and we all have very sensitive skin.
