Just like bath time holds importance to you, bathing your little one is also essential to maintain personal hygiene.

Well, I have come up with a list of the best bathing products for the baby with the best-selling products as an example. So, if you are a new mom, and don’t know what you have to buy, here you will at least get an idea.
7 Must-Have Bath Time Essentials for Your Baby!
1. Baby Bather
Baby bather is an important bath time essential for your tot as it will help you to bathe the baby easily. As of now, you do not have to hold the baby as he can not sit independently. However, your baby can lie in an incline position while you can bathe the baby effortlessly.
For Example, LuvLap Blue Hippo Dippo Baby Bather for Newborn and Infants, Compact and Foldable, 0-9 Months
So, here I have come up with a LuvLap Hippo Dippo baby bather that supports your baby’s head, has an adjustable headrest, and also has 3 recline positions. That leads me to the comfort, with providing support to the baby, it is also comfortable as it has padded head support and cushioned sides and footrest.
Hence, your baby would be comfortable and will get proper support. I would say this is one of the must have baby bath time essentials in your list.

2. Baby Shampoo
Though your baby does not have much hair, yet shampoo plays an essential role to clean the delicate scalp of the baby. Else it can result in dandruff, cradle caps, etc.
For instance, Mamaearth Gentle Cleansing Shampoo for Babies
Trust me, shampoo makes bathing more fun.
However, does your baby feels the same?
Trust me, your baby will love the shampoo, you just have to pick the right one. Here, I have come up with Mamaearth shampoo with tear-free formula. So, your baby can enjoy the bubbles and water.
Above all, it is Asia’s first MadeSafe certified toxic-free brand, which makes it perfect for your baby’s hair. Also, it is dermatologically tested in Europe.
Besides this, it is coconut-based cleaner as well as it has the goodness of jojoba oil, aloe vera extract, calendula oil, which nourishes, prevents irritation, has moisturizing properties, cleans your baby’s scalp, etc.
So, Mamaearth is one of the best bathing products for baby.

CONS 🙁
- Though it is claimed that it moistens the scalp and hair, customers claim that it dry the baby’s hair
- Even after claiming that it is made of tear-free formula, customers claim the opposite
My Opinion
Calling it 100% natural won’t be right. As it contains some ingredients like Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate which is potentially known to cause skin irritation and lung irritation. If I talk about another ingredient, Panthenol has rare side effects like diarrhea.
So, I would advise you to be a little careful and cautious. Don’t forget to take the expert’s advice before using.
This thing reminds me of all the toxic chemicals that are present in the baby/kids’ product, where you need to be extra cautious before buying such products.

My Opinion
The effect of ingredients could be positive or negative. Just like that, the ingredient allantoin. It might have side effects like skin rash, itching, skin redness, etc. Other than this, this baby wash also contains, pathogenic bacteria, which can also result in infections like tetanus, typhoid fever, diphtheria, syphilis, etc.
Hence, calling it 100% safe won’t be fine. Expert’s advice is recommended.
