Lavender Baby Wash

My sweet little lady (now 3 months) had baby rash aka baby acne shortly after she was born. Her pediatrician recommended using Dr. Bronner's baby mild instead of a popular brand baby wash since her skin was more sensitive. I smiled at her and said I had already been using it in the blend I am about to share. She said that it sounded like a great baby wash. Knowing her pediatrician even approved made me extra happy. 

As for tear-free, this blend is NOT. However, I don't find it hard to not get baby wash into my baby's eyes. I always wash her face first with plain water, then add soap to her wash cloth for her body. I do use this to wash her hair also. Again I just make sure it doesn't get into her eyes.

Ingredients:
 - 1/4 cup Dr. Bronner's Baby Mild Castile Soap
 - 1 TBS Jojoba oil
 - 1/4 tsp Vitamin E oil
 - 10 drops Spark Naturals Lavender Essential oil
 - distilled or purified water
 - 10oz foaming pump bottle

Add the 1st four ingredients to the bottle, swirl to blend, then slowly add in the water. Put the pump on and give the wash a good shake.

Since using this wash I've also noticed my little lady never lost any hair. I know my son did and I've heard it was common for babies to lose hair but she hasn't, even with getting cradle cap. Wondering if there is something in commercial baby wash that causes this to happen? 

After bath time I "lotion" her up with organic coconut oil, making her skin silky smooth. I put this on her face as well and it helped clear her baby acne way faster than when I used aquaphor for my son.

Another bonus use for organic coconut oil is applying it to baby's scalp when they have cradle cap. After liberally massaging the scalp with the coconut oil, thoroughly brush baby's hair and then wash just like you would with the nasty petroleum based baby oil that is often recommended.
