“There’s only one pretty baby in the world, and every mother has it….” – Unknown.

So true, right? Every mother believes that her perfect tiny baby is the most amazing baby in the world…. and they’re right. Because every baby IS amazing. And every mother wants to find the best products for their little ones. When you think of safety in regards to baby products, most of you probably think about car seats, cribs, toys, and baby gates – but it’s important to think about safety when buying personal care products for baby too. So many lotions, soaps, and shampoos have yucky ingredients that have the potential to be harmful. Dr. Sears Family Essentials line of Baby Care products are made from 100% all natural ingredients, so you can feel good using them!

Why use natural baby products?

Many synthetic ingredients are found in cosmetics, and even in over the counter baby products.  These products don’t cause immediate visible signs of toxicity, but can affect the health of the baby negatively over time through repeated use.  Some of these can lead to rashes, respiratory distress, even long term health consequences. {Read more here.}

Why Dr. Sears?

I was already a huge fan of Dr. Sears, and his books The Portable Pediatrician: Everything You Need to Know About Your Child’s Health, and The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two are my most-used reference books when I have baby questions. The Portable Pediatrician gives me so many great solutions when Abby’s not feeling well. I seriously do not know what I would do without them. When I learned about their new line of Baby Products, of course I was really excited to try them out, since I have so much trust in Dr. Sears. I love that the products are made from really safe natural ingredients, I love that they’re affordable and easy to find, and I’m totally in love with the quality – which is the most important part, right? Plus, Abby LOVES them!

What I love most:

The lotion: The Dr. Sears Family Essentials Baby Lotion in Citrus smells so yummy! The first time I used it, Abby wanted to eat it – she scooped a dab off of her tummy and licked her finger. Evidently it tastes as good as it smells, because she wanted more, lol. Although I don’t recommend this as a snack, since it’s made with natural ingredients, at least it’s safe and non-toxic. This can be used every day, and will keep baby’s delicate skin soft, and protected. Available for $6.99.

The baby wash: The Dr. Sears Baby Wash & Shampoo in Citrus is such a great idea – why don’t more baby wash products come in a pump container? It is so much easier to use one hand to pump a bit out, so I can keep the other hand on baby – and I really like that it’s a wash and shampoo in one. And it smells just as good as the lotion! It’s also a tear-free formula, of course – and washes away with no residue. You can get the big bottle of Baby Wash & Shampoo for only $5.99.

The diaper Cream: We tried a new line of diapers, and they just did not keep Abby dry at night, at all. After just a couple of days, she ended up with a pretty bad diaper rash, poor baby. The Dr. Sears Healthy Baby Bottom really helped soothe her, and I swear it cleared up the rash faster than any products I’ve used before. We now use this every day, and haven’t had any troubles with diaper rash since we’ve started with it. You can pick up a package of the Healthy Baby Bottom cream for $6.99.
