So, I can't stand baby powder smell. It's always made me cough. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for product that don't smell like that. Much appreciated!
We're going to use California Baby Super Sensitive Shampoo (you can find it at Target). My friend's kids got rashes from Johnson & Johnson and Aveeno, but did great with California Baby.
I hate baby powder smell too. We use aleva naturals lavender hair/body wash, or Dr Bronners almond Castile soap. And just straight coconut oil for skin cream.
The honest company have some safe products that smell great as well as a product at walmart called shea moisture that we use. It's amazing! A little more spendy, but all natural and smells good too!
You can use arrowroot powder instead of baby powder. Bob's Red Mill sells large bags for around $5 & if you put it in a clean salt shaker, it's just as convenient as baby powder. Johnson's makes lots of shampoo/body washes that don't have the baby powder smell. Their Oatmeal Vanilla is especially nice and great for sensitive skin.
You can go all natural and use arrowroot. Some people don't even use powder and just air dry the private areas. I find air drying more effective and prevents rashes than using powder. I stopped using powder when my oldest was 4 months and never used it since.
There is a cornstarch version of baby powder that has a lighter smell, but I remember thinking I could still smell it. My son's pediatrician actually highly recommended not using powder, I still did lol.
I also can't stand the smell of powder!! I actually started using men's deodorant YEARS ago because it smelled 'clean', and not like 'flowers/powder'!! Plus, I swear it works WAY better than women's. Lol. I have converted many friends.
You can just use cornstarch. Burts Bees makes a baby powder using cornstarch, for $8 a bottle! I say skip the artificial fragrance and crap they add and just get a box of starch at the grocery store!
