might be a dumb question - no haters need enter!
so i was thinking about how we wash all the baby's clothes in frangrance and dye free detergent, and use baby-safe products for bath... and i was wondering if i should consider changing my body wash.
the ones i use now are pretty well scented, and i also plan on breastfeeding (yeah i know they say not to use soap on your breasts but think about it, that's pretty much impossible  ).
what do you all think?

I plan on washing myself with cetaphil the first couple of months. Especially since we are BFing.

I didn't even know you were not supposed to use soap while BFing! Thanks for the info!!!!
I guess I would have to ask the Dr. on what to use instead!

Re: might be a dumb question - no haters need enter!
I think i remember a section in baby bargains that addressed this and they recommended that you do you a different body soap, shampoo, conditioner. They made a recommendation regarding brand, but I can't remember right now. They said babies are all over you, put your fingers in their mouth, bite your hair, etc.

Re: might be a dumb question - no haters need enter!
i used the same soap/shampoo/conditioner. i didnt use the soap on my nips but everyone else, just as i usually would. the only thing i didnt use was perfume. BF could be messy in the beginning so i always had a burp cloth handy

Re: might be a dumb question - no haters need enter!
Well I guess we shouldn't be using Irish Spring and Brillo Pads, right???   (sorry I couldn't resist!!!)..
I have SUPER DUPER sensitive skin, so i'm really averse to perfumes and fragrance, I try to buy soaps without that already (whatever's on sale); the shampoo and conditioner is a good point though, I'm tempted to use the same as the baby will be using??? I'll check the baby bargains book tonight also and see what they say!!
Not a dumb question AT ALL, btw!!!!

I definitely changed my body wash & refrained from using perfumes. I already use natural makeups.

I think as long as you don't soap them up and makes sure you rinse really well in the shower, it should be fine.

I use Aveeno body wash and organic, fragrance free shampoo and conditioner.
I started when I was pregnant and have continued. I love the results!

It definitely depends. DS has sensitive skin like me. The first time DH held baby G he had such an awful reaction. I had a feeling he would have my skin so I guess I was more aware of it. If he had DH skin it would not have been an issue.
DH you could brillo & irish spring

i have sensitive skin, but only in that i break out if i use something that is too creamy - DH is kind of the same way.

Re: might be a dumb question - no haters need enter!
I didn't change mine with DD and didn't have any problems.
I think that the reason that they recommend that you use the baby wash for DC's clothes isn't so much because they could have a reaction to the scent and dye, but because they are specially formulated to not remove the fire retardancy from the baby's clothing.
I had asked the ped when I knew that DD didn't have a reaction to our clothing which was washed in regular detergent if I could switch and she told me that they don't recommend it for the first year for the reason mentioned above. Regular detergent is too harsh.
And no questions are dumb
