Is anyone looking for botanically based baby care products? I was wondering if anyone was interested in sampling some baby care products. Many baby care products contain mineral oil, the molecular structure of which is too large to penetrate the pores of our skin, sitting on the top layer like saran wrap. These products get wiped off over time and give little to no benefit but rather a temporary feeling of softness. Babys in particular need pure water based products that will penetrate their skin and deeply condition and hydrate with the proper ingredients. Arbonne has a great baby care line that is botanically-based and pH correct, pediatrician and dermatologist tested, non-sensitizing, non-irritating, and formulated without nut oils. They are formulated with natural ingredients like oat flour which is an emollient and an emulsifier. It’s highly absorbent and hypoallergenic. Oat flour helps to soothe and soften dry, itchy and sensitive skin. I'm curious to hear your thoughts. If anyone is interested, I would be happy to send you a free sample. http://arbonne.com/products/ http://arbonne.com/products/baby/

What is your strongest thoughts on baby care? I've been reading these questions tonight and see many people get worked up over certain subjects. What subjects do you feel strongly about in regards to raising your child. Diet, breast feeding, circumcision, vaccinations - all of you make good points - from both sides. Please - don't argue your views, just state them. I don't want heated arguments. I just like to see other peoples point of view. I will say that I loathe the thought of breastfeeding. The thought of a child latched onto my breast disgusts me for some reason. But after reading information online, I think I will attempt pumping. I do feel breast milk is the best. I just don't feel I will be able to do it directly. What is co-sleeping?
