I don’t get it? Baby Cologne/Powder is very common… or so I thought.
Even adults use it because some of the scents smell nice. I know my sister does.

Baby powder, yes - but this is the first I’ve ever heard of a baby cologne! Eau de bebbeh, anyone?

If your baby needs cologne, you need to give the little guy/gal a bath.

Sadly, not always an option. My daughter was (Hell, still is!) renowned for the smells she produced, and just changing her diaper wasn’t always enough to mask the scent of her aweful offal, and when you are out for the day, you can’t readily just bathe them. Something like this might have been handy. Well, ‘cept we’re an MCS (multiple chemical sensativity) family and wouldn’t use stuff like this to begin with.

i surely think that baby cologne is pretty common. Johnson’s baby colognes are my favorite cause they smell really nice! (yea so i’m also those kinds of ppl who use baby colognes instead of adult ones).
but i think the supermarket who places this product next to axe deserves the laugh. as far as im concern most supermarkets put this product next to other babycare products. -

I grew up with the Johnson’s brand baby cologne in the Philippines. It’s funny how it’s something new in America.

Yeah, I saw this and thought “what’s so unusual about that?” My mom is Filipino and my sister, cousins, and I all grew up with it.

Gotta get them swimming in chemical soup as early as possible!
This is just stupid. A clean baby smells nice on its own. Why cover that up with artificial fragrance? (As Sid Morrison pointed out, if your baby stinks that bad, you need to bathe it!)

You get at higher risk of developing allergies by exposing babies to that stuff. Baby powder is unecessary too.

Makes me think of the BO episode of Seinfeld. Maybe you’ll have to change the crib after!!!

Heh heh … Unlike “free”healthcare, L and I agree on this topic! I’m not crazily anti-chemical or anything, but it seems kinda kooky to perfume a very young child that is just developing its immune system.
Oh I’ve got an 8 month old by the way (generally smells good, unless there is a load in his diaper). After the birth, the doctors/nurses at the hospital(and subsequently his new pediatrican as well) cautioned against using baby powder. The fear is that the very fine talc dust can irritate their lungs. Considering how long baby powder has been around, I suspect the risk is pretty low, but I guess there have probably been some instances (maybe with stupid parents generating a huge dust cloud — I don’t know). What I’m getting at is that the “proper” way to care for a child is CONTINUALLY under change and varies with time and geographic location. And all the “experts” try to guilt trip you into following their advice — nevermind 10 years earlier the exact opposite was “essential”. Makes me laugh a bit…

Baby colognes have been used for decades around the world and they are dermatologically tested. Even at hospitals in some countries they give a small bottle of baby cologne for the baby. Of course, when your baby smell you give him-her a bath and after that you splash baby cologne on them and believe me even the babies love it. It is like when an adult uses perfume, you put parfum after a shower, bath….
If you are worry about the chemicals use baby cologne for your self too! Instead of other men-women fragrances -

why not just wash your baby?
Chemicals are toxic and perfume can contain 200 chemicals!
no wonder so many kids are allergic to everything!!!!!
