When my now almost ten year old was a toddler, washing her hair was a huge ordeal.  She would scream so loudly every time I tried to rinse the shampoo out of her hair that I was always worried that my neighbors would call the police.  For a while, we had to resort to a rinse-less shampoo that was designed for bed-ridden adults.  I have been fortunate not to have this problem with my middle daughter, but the memories of the experience from the first time around are enough to convince me that the Oopsy Daisy company is onto something with their High Chair Hair Care Rinse Free Shampoo.

Not only does this shampoo allow you to avoid bath tub drama and the difficulties of rinsing without getting shampoo in your little one’s eyes, but it is made from all-natural ingredients, so you also avoid worried about using harsh chemicals on delicate skin.  Recommended from birth and up, the product is naturally-scented with essential oils for a pleasant scent.  It comes in a convenient pump dispenser that uses an air foamer rather than harsh propellants.

Oopsy Daisy products have garnered the favor of celebrity parents such as Scott Baio and Joely Fisher.You can purchase an 8 oz pump for $17 at OopsyDaisybb.com/.  Anyone who has been through the horrors of trying to wash the hair of an unwilling child will know that it is more than worth the price!

The Ciao Bella Sample Set for Babies and Children is made with all natural botanicals and pure essential oils which will gently cleanse, nourish and protect baby’s delicate skin. This collection is enriched with Aloe Vera, Vitamin E and Chamomile to enhance a calming and relaxing bath and bedtime routine. The set includes 85% organic body lotion, gentle bubble bath and tearless shampoo.

I think this would make a very appropriate and appreciated baby shower gift. Present this gift in a basket or bath tote and fill it with baby sponges, a hooded towel, and a few precious bath toys. You’ll have fun putting your gift basket together, especially when you’re adding such an elegant bath set for baby.
