As mums, we all know that bath time can be a real challenge with babies and toddlers, especially if it involves a hair wash!  There are so many products on the market, it can be difficult to know which to buy.

  • For the whole family

    Very happy with Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo. The whole family can use it, which is a big plus for me as I hate a full shower caddy full of products. Also have used this brand before, and is a trusted brand in my household. Thumbs up from us.

  • Cetaphil baby hair and body wash will buy again

    I was very excited when I received my package of the cetaphil baby wash and shampoo along with the sample sizes for friends (might I add very generous at 50 mls each) hubby used it first when he bathed our now 2 year old and squirted a heap I thought oh his so wasteful. My son enjoyed his bath and didn’t cry when it dripped onto his face as he often has before with other washes. The scent is not strong it is light and pleasent, it dosnt strip any moisture from your hands, hair and skin after use it still feels hydrated.His skin and hair was nice and clean fresh and not irritated.

    The only issue I have is that when I used the product the same thing happend as it did to hubby a big amount squirted out no matter how much pressure you apply a big amount always comes out. That would be my only complaint.

    Will definitely purchase this again I am hoping for different packaging or a pump bottle so we do not waste product.

  • Blows other brands out of the water!

    After using this product for a while I was so impressed with it that I found myself raving and recommending it to my mum friends. The bottle is well designed with grip and a dosage limit for washes. The wash is more fluid but lathers quickly and easily and is definitely tear free. My baby’s skin was left feeling buttery soft and smooth and her hair silky to the touch with a nice light layering of scent. Would definitely recommend it to other parents, it’s topped every other brand I’ve ever tried!

  • Tear free and super cleansing.

    I found cetaphil gentle bay wash and shampoo a joy to use. Makes quite a lot of bubbles when used in the bath and I loved the way it gently washed the children. It has a really beautiful fragrance and considering my 2 kidlets try to eat the bubbles and skull the bath water. I wasn’t concerned as I knew cetaphil was a mild and gentle product. It smells awesome! We also loved the body lotion. Made my bubs skin so soft!

  • Cetaphil Baby Wash

    A little of this product goes a long way and I’ve found it to be super gentle on his sensitive skin. It leaves his skin and hair super soft and hydrated and has a beautiful subtle scent. The bottle is very easy to use as it has little ripples that help as grip which is so useful especially when you have hands going everywhere getting bath ready!

    I loved this product and would definitely recommend it to friends. It’s the only one I’ve found that gives babies a lovely smell whilst still being great for sensitive skin. My other two children loved it too! I’ve since noticed it in the major supermarkets and will definitely purchase when we have run out.

  • Cetaphil Baby Works

    I was not convinced that Cetaphil Baby wouldn’t work as i have tried other brands to help with my sons excma. But after one wash his rash got a little less & every time i used it is rash got less & less. His skin also got smoother & his excma hasn’t returned.

  • Bath bliss

    With three children under three (including a sensitive skinned two year old and a newborn) it’s vital that our bath products (like our children) are gentle and kind. Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo was just that. My babies smell delightful and their skin is peachy soft and pink, all without the hidden nasties. Two chubby fingers up (and a newborn smile).

  • Mixed feelings but will continue to use :)

    I received a regular sized bottle of Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo as a sample and from the very first bath the bottle squirts too much product out! Unfortunately, there is such thing as too much baby wash and shampoo in this case, as the more product in the bath, the more slippery my baby became. It did make some temporary foamy bubbles for the baby to play with though. The smell was pleasant although if I can work out how to squirt less out of the bottle, the strength of smell would be much more favourable. I used the product as both a baby wash and shampoo with excellent results. It did not irritate my baby’s eyes or taste buds from being in the bath water or while being rinsed from her hair – a big bonus right there! Overall I would use this product again and plan to continue using the bottle I received. I would recommend to friends while also warning them about the wastage of product as it squirts out with such uncontrollable force. Even if Cetaphil change their bottle design (hopefully!) this product will still be excellent 🙂

  • We have a new favourite bath toy!

    We have been pleasantly surprised with Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo. It smells beautiful and even leaves his hair smelling lovely the next day! It is very gentle on the hair and skin, no tears when washing it off his head or face which is amazing. It lathers up very well on both the hair and the body and we loved playing with the foam (santa claus beards!!) Our little boy loved the container so much, it is now his new favourite bath toy! He loves the texture of the bottle and it was hard to get the bottle back off him!

    Highly recommend this product to others.

  • Pleasantly surprised, fantastically gentle

    This wash actually surprised me. It’s texture is a bit more fluid than the other baby washes I’ve used but lathers very quickly and I found that a little bit of Cetaphil Baby Wash goes a long way. I loved the scent, slightly sweet and fruity that lingered on bubs skin but wasn’t overpoweringly strong. After using the wash my bubs skin was butter soft and even her hair was silky and shiny. Definitely will be switching brands to Cetaphil from now on.

    My child LOVES to splish and splash in the bath. I loved that I did not have to worry about my child splashing the soap into her eyes, there were no tears at bath time at all. It was lovely and gentle on her skin and I will use it again. My Friend’s have loved there samples too.

  • Making bathtimes simple

    We have tried out the cetaphil baby shampoo and body wash by adding it to the bath water so all my kids could enjoy the benefits! I shampooed babies hair with it too. We all agreed it smelt great and it was gentle on skin. I love that one product can be used on body and hair, meaning less products are needed. It also was not drying to skin. I will continue to trial it on bubs and see how her skin goes! Overall happy so far!

  • Our new bathtime family favourite

    We’ve used a number of washes over the past (almost) 2 years trying to find the right baby washes and the Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo has now come in as a front runner. Not only is it pleasant smelling and in a good sized bottle, the wash was soft on his skin and helped with the winter dryness. My husband and I started trying it ourselves (we’re currently travelling so sharing the one wash saved luggage space!) and we’re loving the softness post-shower so it looks like we might make the switch too!

    We also loved the dispensed amount as it worked well with filling a bath and for adult showers, though I could see how a free flow or pump could work better if smaller amounts are needed.

  • silky and soft with a delicate fragrance

    The cetaphil wash was a lovely experience. Soft for both babys skin and my hands with a lovely delicate fragrance it gave a good clean withput the greasiness that some other washes leave, the moisturiser was the perfect top note to finish.

  • So easy to use

    I hadn’t tried Cetaphil before so I was excited to give it a try.
    I loved almost everything about this product, that it’s bodywash and shampoo/conditioner, that it has a clean scent, that it makes my girl’s skin nice and soft and that it won’t cause tears.
    When I first squirted some of the bodywash out of the bottle I was amazed at how much came out, for a premium product I would have liked to have used a lot less than what was in my hand. I found this hard to control in that respect (could just be I have a super strong hand). And after a while, I found the scent to be slightly overwhelming but that is simply down to personal tastes.
    A great product that I’m happy to use on my children.

Article Mums Reveal Their Fail-Safe Nappy Rash Tips

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.

Huggies’ Rapid-Dry™ Technology absorbs wetness instantly, reducing irritation risk.

🚫 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.

Find Huggies Newborn Nappies and Ultra Dry Nappy Pants in your supermarket nappy aisle today.

Mouths of Mums is working with Huggies to bring you this handy information.

*Zinc as Zinc Oxide. Tested on adult skin as a suitable substitute for baby skin.
