Cetaphil Baby Review

Six Steps© to a Happy Baby

Cetaphil Baby has an easy to follow Six Steps© to a Happy Baby guide that’s designed to calm your baby, while establishing a bath and sleep time routine. Us mums know that babies thrive with routines, so here’s hoping the lucky mums and bubs who are a part of this trial feel the positive benefits of this Happy Baby guide – because who doesn’t want a happy bubba!

Here’s the Cetaphil Baby Six Steps© to a Happy Baby guide

Step 1: Massage
Important to help parents and baby bond, through touch. Place baby on their back on a stable safe surface. Pour Cetaphil Baby Massage Oil into your hands and rub together to warm oil. Commence at the ankles in a gentle circular motion and move upwards toward the hip. Complete on both sides. Repeat this process on the arms. If the baby is comfortable place baby on their tummy (ensuring babies head it turned to one side for breathing) and massage baby with long strokes up the back and off the shoulders and then down the whole body.

Step 2: Bath
Wrap baby in a loose swaddle, then clean their head with the Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo so that they stay warm and soothed. Clean their eyes using one cotton wool for each eye and clean from “inside to outside”. Unwrap baby and hold baby length-ways in your arms ensuring you have a firm grip and to keep babies head out of the water. Gently introduce them into the water – feet first then the rest of the body. You can use the Cetaphil Baby Gentle Wash & Shampoo which is specially formulated for baby’s delicate skin.

Step 3: Moisturise
Moisturising is important to keep baby’s skin nourished and hydrated. Gently rub Cetaphil Baby Daily Lotion into baby’s skin in circular motions across the entire body. Avoid eye area.

Step 4: Feed
Feed on demand as every babies requirements are different. Breast feeding is the preferred option of most experts, however you decide what is best for your baby.

Step 5: Swaddle
Swaddling helps babies to feel safe and protected because it mimics what was in utero and to stop startle reflex ensuring better sleep for baby and you. It can take some time to learn how to swaddle in a way that suits your baby, so don’t be disheartened if they wriggle out in the first instance, simply try again.

Step 6: Sleep
The safety and wellbeing of baby during sleep is paramount. All babies must sleep on their back on a breathable surface with their feet touching the end of the cot. Ensure no hats on babies as it can cause babies to overheat and will increase risk of SIDS. Ensure the sleep space is free from bumpers, pillows and soft toys.

Where can I purchase the Cetaphil Baby Range?

The Cetaphil Baby range is available in all great supermarkets, pharmacies and some specialty stores.

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to review the baby Cetaphil products. Absolutely loved the ease of having the wash and shampoo all in one made bath time so much easier. The products were great for bubbas sensitive and delicate skin so I actually tried them on my four year old who has very sensitive skin and the lotion really moistened her skin. I am really impressed with these products and would definitely purchase again!!!

  • Absolute essentials!

    I’ve been using these products since my newborn daughter arrived into the world. Given she’s a vomiter and can create some pretty amazing poopy messes, products to give her a thorough clean is absolutely essential. The Cetaphil baby wash and shampoo is so gentle and smells lovely. The moisturiser and massage oil have been incredible to keep that newborn flaky skin at bay, and the massage oil has become part of our bedtime routine to relax her and get her ready for sleep.

  • Soothing and gentle on delicate baby skin

    So happy to be able to trial this cetaphil baby range. Both baby and I feel happy after using it. I love the baby 6 steps happy guide. The massage steps its such a great way for the baby and mother to relax. I love how when I use the massage oil on her. She’s so relax and happy. I love the whole bonding moment with her and knowing I am using a great gentle safe product on her. The gentle wash and shampoo it’s so convenient to use as its 2 in 1. I can use it on her hair and body. It is hassle free and gentle on her skin. The lotion will protect her skin whole day. Overall really happy with cetaphil baby range and have already stock up more from the whole range.

  • Great range, perfect for my baby!

    The cetaphil range is fantastic. Firstly the daily lotion has a nice consistency and worked wonders on my baby’s dry skin. It’s now silly smooth. We have even had comments on how nice his skin is!
    The wash and shampoo is gentle on their skin and we found also smells really nice.
    The massage lotion didn’t feel as oily as normal ones so that was fantastic. My son enjoys the massages with this and it isn’t even sticky for his clothes.

    I would definately recommend this range!

  • Cetaphil Baby, thankyou!

    I was absolutely thrilled to be selected to test the Cetaphil Baby range. My newest daughter is 3 weeks old and it came in perfect time to test and see if it became a part of our night routine.
    I’m here to say YES! I’m here to say Welcome to the family, Cetaphil!
    The Gentle Wash and Shampoo is genius! A 2 in 1 combination to tackle the body and hair. The scent is sweet, it’s soap free which is a bonus for sensitive skin and won’t leave you fumbling your sweet kids like footballs, and come on, who DOESN’T like bubbles?! It leaves my little girls hair like soft, fluffy fuzz.
    The Daily Lotion is silky smooth and actually absorbs into the skin unlike other moisturisers I’ve tried where it just settles for hours. Coming into winter we can be prone to dry skin when we’re staying cosy warm indoors, I feel reassured from this trial that Cetaphil’s lotion will give a protective barrier.
    And the massage oil, oh heavens this is a game changer for us! My bub has belly pains especially in the evening and she calms right after a massage. The oil smells divine, and it also soaks nicely into her skin! It’s not too slippery, doesn’t leave residue on our favourite outfits and it’s calming as a signal that bedtime is soon approaching.
    I highly highly recommend the Cetaphil range as part of your family. It’s affordable, it’s safe for all skin types and it works!

  • Prepare for smooth calmed skin

    I love cetaphil products as not only is it amazingly soft on my babies skin but also soothing and calming. Both my babies have very sensitive skin so I need to make sure to be using the right products not to dry or irritate their skin. I certainly say to other parents to try cetaphil products out.

  • Pleasant surprise! A new routine I will keep

    Cetaphil was not usually the brand I would reach for at the shops. Weirdly the green colour on the bottle always made me think of antiseptic stuff and for some reason I always thought that’s what it would smell like. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The smell is the perfect newborn baby smell! It leaves my baby feeling soft and smelling fresh and clean after a day of vomit and milk smells. The ease of having the body wash and shampoo in one made bath time easy and I was also able to create some bubbles to keep my toddler happy when they shared a bath! The moisturiser helped rehydrate my baby’s skin and improved some cradle cap she was developing on her face. And the massage oil surprised me by heating up slightly in my hands when rubbing my hands together which was perfect when I had a screaming baby from being cold after a bath! It calmed her right back down, made feeding much easier post a bath and helped her drift off into a sleep for a good 5hour stint!

  • Wonderful Products for Babies.

    Have been using Cetaphil’s Daily lotion, Massage oil and Gentle Wash/Shampoo for over two weeks now. Its so easy to use and comes out of the container very easy. Don’t need alot at once as it spreads very easily over the babies skin. Smells very nice and the baby likes the smell as well. The Baby enjoys having the products on its skin as they are so smooth and soft and non irritating on the babies and my skin as well. Would highly recommend these products for any mum with very young babies

  • Great range for bath and sleep time routine

    Thanks for the chance to review this Cetaphil baby product range.
    The Gentle Wash and Shampoo made bath time much easier. As a busy mum I always appreciate a multi-tasking product. This body wash and shampoo is really gentle on my baby daughter’s skin. The Daily Lotion smells pleasant, with a nice consistency and works well to nourish her skin. The Massage Oil is my favourite. We used it every night before bed as part of her sleep time routine. Baby massage is a lovely bonding experience for baby and parents.
    I would happily recommend this baby range to other parents and care givers.

  • This product helped heal my 1 month old's dry, flaky skin.

    Since my bub was born I’ve struggled finding a bath wash and moisturiser that hasn’t reacted with her skin. So far using cetaphil it has helped her skin, she is noticeably smoother and no reactions which is a bonus. I’d definitely give this product a go if you’re struggling to find something for your bub that works. It has a pleasant scent too.

  • Great gentle formula for delicate baby skin

    I love the Cetaphil Baby range! It uses a gentle formula which is important for delicate baby skin. It smells great and doesn’t irritate the eyes even if it gets in. This makes it much less stressful, convenient and easier for parents when bathing their baby. I love the moisturizing products post bath as they relieve dryness and is non greasy or sticky. I can easily reapply throughout the day. Also, it’s a great all rounder product for both face and body and there is no need to buy separate products.

    We loved using these products! They don’t leave bubs skin feeling greasy and they have a lovely scent but not over powering! Bub has sensitive skin and this did not flare it up which was great! Packaging size was perfect, not too large to store but not too small to be inconvenient and need to continually purchase! Will definitely be purchasing again!

  • Massage oil was a hit!

    Would highly recommend the massage oil – smells amazing, doesn’t leave residue and makes skin super soft! The wash I liked – the bubbles don’t stay around for very long which is a bit disappointing but its not a bubble-bath so to speak. Very gentle and didn’t hurt my sons eyes when he splashes himself in the face! Moisturizer is great – we use it after swimming in the local pool.

  • Officially a fan!

    We have recently started using the Cetaphil baby range and it is safe to say I am officially a fan of all three products. The shampoo and baby wash was great to add to the bath. My little is not usually a fan of baby massages, but she seems to enjoy them with the Cetaphil massage oil. Last but not least, the daily lotion has been so good at hydrating her delicate skin. We live in a cold climate and the winter air has been drying out Bub’s skin, but since using the lotion we have not had an issue. I would definitely recommend these products to anyone who has a little bub and will be purchasing these in the future.

  • Really nice products works well

    Cetaphil baby gentle wash & shampoo was soft to use. It washes well and I love that its dermatologist tested. It lathers well and was tear free. These products are really gentle to use. The bottle sizes are good and the products are easy to use. I like the daily lotion its easy to dispense with the pump top. It contains shea butter. I like that you can use it on the face and body. I rubbed between my hands to warm the lotion then applied to her skin. It absorbs into the skin well. The massage oil is a nice product. It doesn’t dry out the skin and helps to retain moisture. I was very happy with these products and I highly recommend them.

  • Gentle goodness

    We loved the Cetaphil baby products. I loved how handy it was to have the shampoo and body wash was all in one. The consistency was nice and it was gentle. Personally I alternated nightly with massaging with the lotion and oil. It was lovely to finish the bath routine with a gentle massage. I found it helped relax bub to set the mood for bedtime. The subtle scent of the body lotion was lovely and kind on bubs sensitive skin. The oil was lightweight and absorbed well into bubs skin.

  • Cetaphil range is fantastic

    My little 12 week old girl is currently unwell and loves to be held and snuggled. She was getting a blocked nose and struggling to breathe a little. I ran us a nice warm shower and washed her with the Cetaphil gentle wash and massaged her hair and head because its also a shampoo too. After drying her and before popping her nappy on I massaged her slowly and gently with the Cetaphil baby daily lotion. She was so relaxed just listening to me sing along as I rubbed and massaged her little body.

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.
