I still use this on my 3 year old. I generally rotate between this one and Aveno as I like them both. I know the Cetaphil will always be gentle on his skin and keep it super soft.Who doesn’t want their baby to have soft skin right? Would recommend for those looking for a reliable and gentle wash for their baby or toddler.

So this is a bit of a strange review by me today: YES I love all Cetaphil products and as adults we have used Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser for many many years. The new generation is now using Cetaphil Baby. Well just a heads up that Cetaphil Baby is also great for your dog if you have ran out of your usual special pooch shampoo. The gentle formula does not dry the skin and it cleans wonderfully leaving a fresh smell and shiny coat.

We absolutely love our cetaphil baby products, the quality and how good it cleans my son after a crazy day at childcare ! So happy we’ve found something that is so gentle and free from nasties and smells great at the same time. You must try this product and even the moisturiser and massage oil!

I love this baby wash. It has such a lovely fragrance. I use it on my babies hair and body and it always leaves her skin soft and her hair silky. She suffers from eczema and it’s never flared her eczema up or dried her skin out. I also use it on my three year old who also has sensitive skin and he’s never had any issues either.

My 18mo has been using it for about two weeks and his skin feels very soft after a shower. The soap is very gentle and I wash his hair with that too, and he doesnt complain when it gets in his eye, which is a bonus!!!! The only down side is that it doesn’t make bubbles 🙁

Thanks to MoM for the opportunity to review this product. I’ll admit I was sceptical at first after being a dedicated goats milk fanatic. After the first use I was convinced otherwise. I instantly noticed my boys skin being softer. I love that I can use it head to toe and love love love the smell. I love how it makes bubbles when added to the bath too. It arrived at a perfect time too as we were about to head to sunny QLD where we are in and out of the pool and beach! The lotion is just as impressive! I’ve been converted!

CETAPHIL BABY GENTLE WASH & SHAMPOO AND FACE & BODY DAILY LOTION. This stuff smells amazing and makes bubbles and soaps up really well! Been using it for a week now and Zara’s skin loves it, hair is soft, fresh and feels so clean. To finish we tried the Cetaphil face & body daily lotion, I use it for a moisturiser for Zara’s face and her body, keeping her baby skin soft and supple during this cooler weather! (P.s, she loves it when I moisturise her face, she keeps saying “more more” ) ????

This cetaphil baby wash smells great and it does not bother my baby’s skin. She had severe eczema before using this wash. We tried all the competitor brands and finally this. All of those didnt help us. We use this every day and do not have any issues with it. This is pretty amazing. Works great for my daughter — pleasant smell.

We still use this at times with our 3 year old as it’s very gentle on her skin. When we can pick it up on sale we grab a few to have on hand. It has a nice smell which leaves our little one smelling fresh as a daisy after the wash. She has had some skin irritations to other brands so we love that this one allows her to keep her skin nice and smooth. I do struggle sometimes to find it in some supermarkets tho which is a pitty

We love a good two in one and have used Cetaphil since almost our son’s birth. It is effective in cleaning and cleansing, soft on the skin and moisturising. I like that there are no nasties and unnecessary additives or strong scents. We even use this for ourselves so its great for the whole family, not just babies and children.
The pump feature makes Cetaphil wash and shampoo easy to use especially when washing your child’s hair and only having one hand! The bottle looks and feels of good quality.

My little girl (4months) has dry skin and is prone to heat rash.
I was hesitant to try a new product on her but I’m very glad I did.
The Ceraphil wash is very soft on delicate skin and it doesn’t have any fragrance.
It didn’t take much storing to dissolve into the water either.
I have the samples to friends and they have all enjoyed the product too.
I’m very glad I got to try to product.

I fell in love with this the first time I used it. It’s so gentle, non drying, and leaves skin moisturised and feeling so soft. Which is what you need for babies. Comes in a huge bottle which lasts for ages as you only need a small amount in the bath, so really economical. Great news for the family budget

Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips
Whether you’re a seasoned or first-time mum, protecting your baby’s delicate skin is right up there on the priorities list. Because when their skin is irritation-free, it really does make for a happier bub! Anyone who’s had to deal with nappy rash (me included!) knows it’s an inescapable mum truth.
Having skin irritation as an adult is super distracting and annoying. So just imagine what that’s like for our teeny babies and toddlers, who need to focus on sleep, eat and play. No wonder they can be so upset when they have nappy rash.
One thing you do need to ditch when it comes to nappy rash is mum guilt. It happens despite our best efforts. But it is helpful if you can get ahead of the game by doing as much as you can to try and prevent nappy rash in the first place.
We asked our hundreds of thousands of Mouths of Mums members for their tried-and-true, trusted nappy rash tips, and their responses came down to four key tips. So if you’re about to have your first baby, or your fifth, it’s worth popping on the kettle and reading through what’s helped other mums.
Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips From Mums
What we love about these tips is they’re perfect for mums and expecting mums, and they’re really simple to do. Everything from what to use and what to steer clear of, to helpful hints on caring for delicate baby skin.
1. Nappy Free Time
“As much free nappy time as possible. Lay baby on a blanket covered with a towel on the floor, without a nappy on, if possible in front of a warm sunny window.” – Joanne W.
We love nappy free time for newborn and toddlers (although it’s a lot harder to get them to stay in one place!). And while nappy free time is one of the most popular nappy rash tips among our mums, using the right nappy also plays a huge part in protecting against irritation on your baby’s skin. For example, Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants have clever Rapid-Dry™ Technology, which instantly absorbs for drier skin. And they’re perfect for day and night, with up to 12 hours of leakage protection.
2. Change Nappies Frequently
“For me, what worked on my two kids is not leaving them in soiled nappies too long. I definitely changed as soon as they were wet and let their skin air dry before placing a new nappy on. I would rather go through more nappies than have to deal with the uncomfortable rash they would feel.” – MoM Member
Frequent nappy changes are a fail-safe way to keep moisture, but it’s not always practical (babies just love to fill their nappies while you’re out and about!) Huggies Newborn Nappies are designed to help protect a baby’s delicate skin with a zinc-enriched layer*, clinically proven to help protect against skin irritation.
3. Use A Barrier Cream
“My mum put me onto Zinc and Caster Oil cream. It is FABULOUS stuff! It’s very thick and sticks like you know what to a blanket hehe I tried literally everything and this was the only stuff that helped.” – Trudes
Using a barrier cream was another really popular tip from our mums. But did you know that Huggies Newborn Nappies are the only nappy with a zinc enriched layer. The zinc oxide in Huggies Newborn Nappies is the same ingredient found in many nappy rash creams, which helps to protect against irritation with visibly less redness on skin. They’re also endorsed by the Australian College of Midwives and the number one choice in Australian hospitals.
4. Choose Gentle
“Don’t use scented wipes. Flannel and warm water is the best.” – Justine F
Using the most natural product possible for wiping a baby’s delicate skin to prevent irritation is a tip that’s been passed down from generation to generation – and it’s still a great one. But something lots of mums don’t consider that a nappy itself can help protect against skin irritation. Huggies Newborn Nappies are clinically proven* to help protect against skin irritation while Huggies Ultra Dry Nappy Pants keep up with wriggly little ones while providing superior dryness, making them perfect for active toddlers.
Nappy Rash Myths & Facts
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash is only caused by wet nappies. ✅ Fact: It’s true that moisture does play a role in nappy rash, it can also be caused by moisture friction, bacteria, and even what the nappy is made from.
It’s why choosing a nappy that’s specifically designed for skin protection is really important.
🚫 Myth: Cloth nappies are better at preventing nappy rash than disposable nappies. ✅ Fact: When it comes to nappy rash, there’s not really any need to compare cloth and disposable nappies, because it’s all about keeping baby dry. The longer baby can stay dry, the better.
🚫 Myth: Nappy rash creams are the only way to protect against irritation. ✅ Fact: A good nappy with a zinc enriched layer can also help to protect against irritation.

*Zinc as Zinc Oxide. Tested on adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin. *#1 choice in Australian hospitals based on sales data.
Really terrific advice. My daughter never had much in the way of nappy rash develop and I believe that because I did change her so frequently and we had a lot of nappy free time, especially in the warmer months of summer. Sure there is things to treat nappy rash but we all know prevention is best!
My first born had terrible nappy rash and ulcers from acid urine and none of the specialists prescription creams did anything. I finally used Petroleum Jelly and it cleared up his skin very quickly and kept future rashes at bay. It is cheap and easy to use and works the best of anything.
Any redness can be resolved with a tub of Sudocrem. It’s a cream that smells like lavender. Very pleasant and usually works quickly within the first application.
Take it with you everywhere. It helps poo nappy changes. Just apply on bottom area to prevent future nappy rash. Your baby will be happy with it on. It doesn’t feel cold like a wet wipe.

I had issues with my son pooping a lot as a newborn. Sometimes it can be really hard to keep the rash at bay if you have a child that is constantly doing that. There is some acidity in the excrement and that can cause burning before it’s even been against their skin for long. I used to use paw paw cream on him and that worked best as a barrier.
Nappy Rash can be so raw and painful and i always worried so much when our babies had a bout of it. I remember trying so many things but always found good old petroleum jelly used regularly would help in keeping it at bay. There are some great suggestions in the article.
I did find that not all nappy rash creams are as good as each other. After trialing many brands I settled on Sudocrem as the best for me and my baby. Changing nappies frequently and air time is also very important.
There are so many common sense tip in this article and they are tips that we followed. We kept everything as natural as possible on very soft and sensitive skin. We went with plenty of nappy free times and we were very fortunate to not encounter issues with nappy rash.
This article describes very much what we always have done: frequent nappy changes, plenty of bare bum time, no fragrances also not in soaps and a good nappy rash cream. It can become more challenging when your child has diarrhea; in which case bare bum time becomes more complex and the skin more irritated in which the gentle washing with warm water, patting dry with a soft cotton flannel and good zinc cream is more important
Even though I agree that prevention is key, I also think it’s important to have a good barrier cream to hand to help at the first signs of trouble. There are lots of good brands, you can pick any really that suits your baby’s skin. But use it liberally when you need it!
Yay! First time seeing my own comment in an article! *happy dance*
But yes, i do swear by changing their nappies as soon as it’s soiled. It’s what worked for us for both children! We always go prepared and change either before going out, during or in the car boot if we really had to
Nappy rash is horrible and prevention is definately better than cure. This is a fantastic article with some great tips. Especially the changing of the nappy frequently. Unfortunately sometimes especially once they’re on solids and their poops get yucky a little nappy rash can be unavoidable in which case a small amount of sudocreme clears it up quickly.
We found that changing nappies frequently was key for us. And once the kids starting sleeping for long periods at night, we started using the really good quality nappies – Huggies, as it happens – while cheaper nappies were still okay for the day and frequent changes. Nappies do vary! .
This is a really great reminder that nappy rash can happen but there are some great tips to help try and avoid it. I use to do a lot of nappy free time with my daughter when we were home as she had sensitive skin and I layered the barrier cream on all the time, especially at night.
