A curated list of gentle, safe, and practical baby products I personally love and recommend — from bath time to bedtime.
I have used multiple products before switching to the below recommended ones. My baby has a very dry skin type and I did try a multiple sets of body wash and moisturizers. So here are my recommendations for dry and sensitive skin type.

Like most parents, I opt for the shows I grew up watching. I’m also a big believer that the newer shows, with their neon colors and overly animated eyes lead to our children’s behavioral outbursts.
