toiletries basket
» motherhood
Did an inventory check of my baby’s toiletries basket. There are so many bottles, containers, tubes inside!
Destine creamy diaper rash ointment with aloe and vitamin E (must have!)
Johnson’s baby wash (i love the advertisement where the baby bath in the sink)
Kodomo baby powder (great for my baby who sweat buckets)
Yu Yee Oil (must have! important)
Tollyjoy extra thick baby wet wipes (wet enough to clean her bums)
Epoch baby message gel (nice smell, but have not been using, its a bit too sticky for my sweaty kid)
Woodward’s gripe water (for relief of wind. my mother-in-law use it to clean the baby’s mouth. i try not to introduce anything other then milk)
Baby lotion (still in its original package!)
Cord spirit (the doctor gave me a big bottle. i think i used less then 1% of it)
b.n.p. antibiotic powder (the baby’s belly button didn’t dried up fully)
Antiseptic wash (she was attacked by some fungus on her face)
Hydrocortisome and Clioquinol cream (and her face was inflamed)
Johnson baby oil (for her cradle cap)
a rattle (don’t know how it gets into the basket)
a bathtub rubber boat (still waiting to be launched)
a big container of cotton balls and cotton buds (i am a cheapskate, i don’t buy ready to use facial cotton)
and the basket sits permanently in my living room floor, where i bath the kid.

Hehee, your toiletries basket is much like mine. Ryan sweats buckets too. Daddy always calls Ryan smelly baby. Ryan bathes twice a day on hot days but he loses the nice bath smell very quickly.
Stuff I have:
Saline nose drops and nasal aspirator (hardly use!) for his stuffy nose
Detinox colic drops
Desitin diaper cream is definitely must have. Johnson top-to-toe wash.
Pureen cornstarch powder (I use powder puff and box)
Yu Yee Oil (hubby complains that it’s smelly so I’ve stopped using it now that Ryan isn’t colicky)
Facial cotton and plastic tub of water (to clean his bum)
Tissue box
Rubber ducks (they sink!) and plastic boats (they float!)
Baby oil (wanted to massage Ryan but I hardly do it)
Brush and comb
Nail clippers (his nails grow like wildfire)
Diapers (Huggies in the day, and Pampers Premium at night) What brands are you using?

Its amazing that babies nails grow at such speed! i always have to remind myself to trim them else she will disfigured herself again!
I am also using pampers premium. I have tried pampers baby dry, and i don’t like it. It is very plastic and thick, which gives me the idea that it would be warm and uncomfy wearing it. I have not tried other brands yet, but pampers premium will always be my choice. I love its cottony soft feel, something i would like to wear…haha
Johnson’s lavender bathtime bath (or something like that) smells great. She gets that pampering when she bathes at my father’s place.
