The first months with your baby are unforgettable and, to be honest, sometimes overwhelming. You want the best for your little one, but you might wonder: what do I really need in the first few months of my baby? Fortunately, the solution is often simple, less is more. Simplicity is key; less really is more when it comes to baby care.
Especially in the first month, your baby doesn’t need baby shampoo. Why? Because newborns often have little hair, and you should leave the skin as undisturbed as possible. Your baby’s skin is super sensitive, so it’s important to leave it alone as much as possible. It’s better not to expose your little one’s sensitive skin to unnecessary baby care products. Skip the baby shampoo for now and enjoy your little one. ♡
You might be wondering how often you ‘should’ bathe your baby. Every 3 to 5 days is more than enough for a newborn baby. They don’t sweat yet and don’t really get dirty. Not bathing your little one too often also has a positive effect on the skin’s natural oils, as they are preserved this way. Bathing too often can actually dry out the skin, which you definitely want to avoid.
Bath oil is highly recommended if you do bathe your little one. It helps to hydrate the skin and prevent it from drying out due to the water. Add a few drops of mild bath oil to the water, and that’s it. It softens the hard water and nourishes the skin during bathing. Choose baby care products specially made for babies, such as the mild oil from Naïf. This keeps your baby wonderfully soft and hydrated.
Diaper rash is really unpleasant for your little one, but it can happen sometimes. Fortunately, it can be quickly resolved with the right baby care, because sometimes you can’t prevent it. Acidic stool quickly damages your baby’s skin.
If your little one isn’t feeling well and has a lot of acidic diaper rash, you can use diaper cream with zinc. Zinc cream is an effective way to keep the skin dry and protected. In such cases, apply zinc cream preventively on your baby’s bottom, especially after changing the diaper. It not only helps keep the skin dry but also reduces the chance of irritation. Once the nasty diaper rash is a thing of the past, you can simply use regular diaper cream again if the bottom is a bit red.
Consider beeswax as a natural alternative to other baby care products. Beeswax has moisturizing and protective properties that you should definitely take advantage of. It can help strengthen your baby’s skin barrier. This is especially important because your baby’s skin is still developing. Using natural baby care can also help prevent possible allergies. So it’s a win-win situation!
When choosing baby care products for bath time, it’s important to opt for natural options. Avoid harsh soaps and aggressive foaming baby products, as these can strip the skin’s natural oils. Instead, choose mild, natural bath products specially developed for babies. This ensures your baby’s skin stays soft and healthy. Look carefully at the ingredients on the back and choose baby products with as few additives as possible.
In the first weeks, the baby’s skin is already protected by a natural layer that you want to preserve. A baby especially needs minimal care in the form of baths or showers during these first weeks. This is the perfect time to enjoy the simple things in your new life phase and focus on bonding with your little one. ♡ With a few essential baby products and a little attention, you can ensure a healthy skin and a happy baby.
Remember, less is more. With the right knowledge, you can make well-informed choices about your baby’s care.
In the first weeks with your little one, everything really comes at you all at once. So being well prepared is half the battle, and if not? You can always send your partner out for some baby care products, or let them shop online at Haarspullen ;) From diaper cream to shampoo, it sometimes feels like a jungle. But don’t worry! With a few handy tips from us and a critical eye, you’ll get a long way.
Reading labels is crucial. But why? Labels can sometimes be misleading. Manufacturers often use complicated terms and jargon to make their baby products more appealing. Pay close attention to the ingredient listThe shorter the list, the better. Choose baby products with as few ingredients as possible. This reduces the chance of allergies and irritations.
For example, if you see perfume in it, that's a red flag. Perfume is a common cause of allergies. And believe us, you don't want your baby to suffer from that.
Less is more. This certainly applies to baby care. Your baby does not need an extensive care routine. A few good baby care products are enough. This also helps you make the right choices without feeling overwhelmed.
It is important to be critical about what you put on your baby's skin. A baby's skin is thinner and more sensitive than your own. This means harmful substances can enter the body more easily. So look carefully at what you buy.
Avoid baby care products with parabens, sulfates, and other preservatives. These substances can be harmful. Fortunately, there are many baby products nowadays that are free from these ingredients. Always read the fine print!
A great way to evaluate baby care products is by looking at the experiences of other parents. Reviews can tell you a lot about the effectiveness of a baby product. If other parents are enthusiastic, chances are you will be too.
Ask around among your friends or read online reviews. Your network can be a goldmine for information!
Finally, pay attention to the accountability of the brands you choose. Are they transparent about their ingredients? Do they have good customer service? Brands that inspire trust are often the best choices. Choose with your heart and mind, and don't be misled by marketing, which is usually misleading.
Two absolute recommendations when it comes to completely safe baby care are:
You might think, yes - of course you recommend this, you sell it. That's true! But the reason we sell it is because they are safe, quality brands that are harmless for your little one.

That's how Attitude came about.
Naïf is Dutch, and it was created by two friends who both had little ones and were fed up with baby care products full of junk.
Choosing the right baby care products can be overwhelming, but with a critical eye and the right information, you’ll get far. Remember, you don’t have to buy everything on the market. Your baby’s needs come first. Make choices that feel right for you and your little one!
The first months with your baby were fantastic, and now you’re a few months further along. So what about baby care now? We often get advice for the first weeks and months, but what about after that? We’ll help you out! You might be wondering: When do you use shampoo? What are the best baby products for your toddler? How do you care for those fine hairs and sensitive skin? Don’t panic! We are here to help! Let’s go!
Baby shampoo is really only necessary when your little one is about six months old. Why? The skin is more developed by then, and of course, there is more baby hair. It’s often still soft and thin. Only when the hair starts to grow and gain more texture should you consider using a mild baby shampoo.
Use a baby shampoo specially designed for babies, so you don’t irritate the sensitive skin and hair. Think of:
Yes, you can still use baby care products for your toddler. That way, you’re sure you’re not buying harsh baby care products, and it still does what it’s supposed to do. Cleaning your muddy toddler ♡
As your baby gets older, their hair becomes thicker and longer (of course). Here are some tips that are really helpful:
Your baby’s skin is unique. They need different care depending on their skin type:
As your baby grows, their needs change. You will notice that you also need to adjust your care routine. It’s good to regularly check what works and especially what doesn’t. Does he or she need more or less care? In winter, for example, you are more likely to use a rich baby cream for the cheeks than in summer. Adjust your routine based on the needs of their skin, but also their hair. Don’t forget that baby shampoo supportive for growing hair, so use this when your baby starts to get more hair. A clean scalp ensures that the hair can keep growing well, that goes for us too. ♡
Baby care is a learning process in the life of a mother and father. What may seem overwhelming at first gradually becomes second nature. This is to encourage you! Don’t make it too difficult for yourself, and trust your intuition. Every child is unique, and with the right baby products and lots of love, you will find the perfect baby care routine that suits your family. ♡
Starting the journey of baby care can be overwhelming. The range of baby products is also enormous. But what do you really need? Back to basics, let's summarize the essentials.
In the first months, your baby doesn't need many baby products. Think of mild bath oil, zinc cream for diaper rash, and a few good baby wipes. That's it. You don't need to buy a whole store full of stuff right away. A few well-chosen baby products are often enough.
Why choose mild products? A baby’s skin is sensitive. It is five times thinner than an adult’s! That’s why you should only use baby products specially developed for babies. They are often free from irritating substances like perfume and parabens. This helps prevent skin problems. You don’t want your little one to react to an unknown substance. It’s better to keep it as clean as possible.
“Simplicity in baby care is the ultimate sophistication.”
You don’t have to get lost in the endless choice of baby care products. Less is more, especially in the beginning. Focus on your little one’s basic needs. ♡ And if you’re in doubt, ask yourself: “Is this really necessary?” Often, the answer is no.
Every baby is different. What works for one baby might not work for another. Pay close attention to your little one’s skin. Does he have dry skin? Then you might consider using a mild cream or baby lotion more often. But if little ones have normal skin, extra baby products are often unnecessary. Listen to your mother’s intuition and adjust your routine based on what your baby needs.
Starter bundles can be a great option for new parents. They often contain everything you need in one convenient package. This saves you time and effort. You can easily choose the right products without overthinking. This way, you’re sure to have the essentials without falling into the trap of overconsumption.
