Aveeno is what I registered for because I love it.
It's honestly all going to depend on the baby though (allergies, sensitive skin, etc). If Aveeno doesn't work we'll keep trying new stuff until we find something that works for them.
I'm not going to buy too much of anything until LO is here.
We use Norwex body cloths for face/body cleansing and used Aveeno lotion/shampoo for our other two. It'll depend on how this one reacts or doesn't to Aveeno.
I love Mustela. The foaming newborn shampoo is great. Their products are really fragranced, though, which is awesome if you like how they smell (I do) and not so great if you don't like the smell or are fragrance-sensitive.
I'm a huge fan of California Baby, especially the bubble bath (comes with a bubble wand!), diaper rash cream (cloth diaper safe, in my experience), detangling spray, and sunscreen.
ETA: We also go through a TON of CJ's BUTTer. Stupid name, awesome products, great for cloth diaper families and sensitive skin.

My sister loved Mustela with her twins but I think it's fairly expensive, right?
We only use burts bees, this other brand I get at whole foods that I can't think of the name of and California baby for all washing products/lotion/diaper cream etc and love tthem.

It's a matter of perspective, I guess. It's more expensive than Johnson & Johnson or drugstore-type brands, but it's not expensive compared to what I personally spend on my own personal care products.
It looks like there is a lot more to choose from then I thought. I have very sensitive skin I have to buy the natural soaps made from goats milk (which is pain to find in my area I normally buy from the lady who is at a craft show if the fall). I'm hoping the baby does not inherit this from me. I would like to thank everyone for their input it will help me research some different brands.
We used the mustela baby wash on DS when he was a newborn, and then switched to honest co and burt's bees depending on what i found in the store on sale etc. DS never had any reactions. We've also used babyganics lotion (suntan and regular) and aveeno beditme lotion.
On impulse, I bought a bottle of the new aden and anais baby wash at target recently because it smelled so good, but returned it when i looked at the receipt--a small bottle was $16.00! I feel like mustela isn't even that expensive!
I want to try the Waleda baby wash and shampoo for my little one. Call me crazy, but when I found out I was pregnant, I revamped my body products and searched for ones that didn't have harsh chemicals and such using the EWG skin deep website. I came across the Waleda products on Amazon and tried it myself and I love it. Also tempted to try Aveeno's baby products and see how little one does. https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
We used Aveeno from the start because of some skin sensitivitis on my niece and nephew. We used that up until about a year and now I use some Aussie kids stuff I bought for my daughter on both of them. I will likely do the same for this baby.
The only stuff that doesn't break out my sons sensitive skin is Noodle and Boo. It's expensive, but it feels and smells SO nice! Plus my son is comfortable and it keeps his eczema under control!
