Lavender Bath Set

This is my favourite bath set.  I love the smell of it. I also saw that it does relax Vincent. I have tried different soaps and this is the one he is the calmest. I use the shampoo and soap the most often.  When I feel he needs a little more relaxing I add the bath one which is like a bubble bath.  When Vincent is a little irritable after a bath, I like to rub the lavender lotion on him.

PC Zinc Oxide Cream

I have tried a lot of butt creams and this one is the best. It’s the strongest one. I only have to use it on Vincent a few times for it to clear up.  It’s also the thickest and when he pees it doesn’t rub off.  Pat had a few rashes on his arm and put this cream. It cleared it up quick. He got his arm wet and it still had some on it.  I have tried penaten, arbonne, and pate d’ile.  The PC brand is the best one.

Vicks Baby Vapour Rub

Vicks baby vapour rub is great for when Vincent has a cold.  I find that it also helps relax him.  It’s not as strong as the adult one, but it’s perfect for babies.  I started using it on Vincent around two months old.   The tub said not to use it until 3 months.  Since we started using it, I make sure to put some on when I see a cold coming.

Ovol

Ovol is great for colics. It would calm him down very quickly.  If he was very upset due to colics, I would give him some ovol and his mood would change automatically.  We didn’t know about ovol until he was almost 3 months old.  This would have been a lifesaver when he was a few weeks old.  Ovol is a little pricey, but in my opinion is a necessity with baby colics.

Gripe Water

Just like ovol, gripe water is a necessity for babies with colics.  I just stopped gripe water with Vincent last month. We had been using it since he was home from the hospital at 3 weeks old. It’s a natural product.  This product helped a lot. It was a definite lifesaver. In my opinion, the only thing I didn’t like was the smell. It smelled like dill pickles.

Vapour Bath Soap

This must be one of my favourite products.  When I have a cold I also use it in my bath.  When Vincent seems to be starting a cold, I make sure to give him a few extra baths with this product.  We go through a lot of this.  I find it helps clear his nose making it easier to use the hydrasense nose sucker. Mix a vapour bath and baby vicks baby vapour rub and your baby will be on the road to recovery.
