I had no idea when I had Aidan that conventional baby washes contain harmful chemicals, are unnatural, and that there were so many good natural alternatives instead. Once I found this out, I knew I wanted to use something gentle and natural, but didn't want to spend a fortune. I fell in love with castile soap -- the dr. bronner's almond scent smells delicious, the bars vs. the liquids lather better, and I feel good using something good for his skin and free of bad stuff. A bar of soap lasts a long time, and I use it on his hair and body both, and his skin is beautiful! :) I have read that it isn't tear free and should not get in eyes, so after reading a suggestion on a blog, I follow it: I first wipe his face with just warm water, no soap, on a wash cloth, then lather soap on it for his head and the rest of his body, and then lay him back to rinse his hair with a cup, so not to get it in his eyes.
I love it so much I started using it for myself as well! And castile soaps actually have a lot of uses, other than just bathing. https://www.oregonsoapcompany.com/blog/155
Castile soap can be found at many stores and healthfood stores! And amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dr.+bronner's+castile+soap&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Adr.+bronner's+castile+soap

Castile soaps get a great rating on EWG (for those new to this website, it rates things for safety, lowest rating being best). :) http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/search.php?query=dr.+bronner%27s+castile+soap&h=Search
