My baby boy has really dry feet and knees, how often should I bath him and should I leave in any creams or oils please?

I get a bad reaction if I put anything on my skin that contains lavender, would my baby react to lavender too? Do your Johnson's Bedtime Baby Range Products contain any lavender ingredients that my baby might react too? What would be the best range of products to use if my baby is likely to react?

So hospitals believe that things such as wipes and baby washes should not be used and in its place cotton wool and water, obviously I chose the wipes and washes but why are health professionals so against using baby products?

Is it OK to wash a babies hair daily? Or does this add to cradle cap?

I loved using talc on my baby but my mam persuaded me that it's awful to use abd that babies can breathe it in, is that right?

My baby has really dry skin, and I'm worried he has eczema and that washing him too often will make it worse. Do you have any recommendation or advice on how to bathe my baby without irritating his eczema?
Thank you very much!

My little girl has had little patches of eczema on her arms and legs is there anything I can use at bath time to clean her without making these patches worse?

I have been told that bathing your babies every night is bad for their skin & can dry their skin out. I use a bath as part of my twins bedtime routine so I give them a quick splash in the water before their bottle & bed. Is it okay to do this each evening??
