Caring for our baby’s skin is quite tricky, we can never really try one product to another on our baby’s skin. Moreso, when we talk about our baby’s bum. A baby’s bum is more sensitive and is more prone to react that may lead to diaper rashes because it is exposed to urine and poop.
I’m just thankful that Gwen’s skin is not sensitive, or maybe I’ve used the correct product right from the start hence Gwen and I were saved from the horrors of a diaper rash. Even when Gwen was still a newborn, I already used Johnson’s Baby Skin Care Wipes (the pink one) on her bum. She’s exclusively breastfed then, she pooped a lot, and I used lots of baby wipes on her and she never got diaper rashes. When my friend learned that I’m using baby wipes in cleaning her bum, she was in disbelief and told me to use cotton dipped in warm water only so as not to irritate baby’s skin. But I politely told her that Gwen has no allergic reactions with the wipes so I continued using it on her, convenient pa! Later on, I found out that Johnson’s Baby Skin Care Wipes indeed helps in preventing rash like a diaper cream because it cleans and coats baby’s bum with baby lotion.
When Gwen was 6 months old, I had a makeshift diaper caddy containing all her essentials. Oh look, pink Johnson’s baby wipes!

O ayan, that’s proof that Gwen is a Johnson’s baby even if this is a Johnson’s Baby sponsored post. =)
Aside from using good quality wipes, I only used branded disposable diapers for Gwen. I tried several brands until I settled for Huggies. I’m not being a snob by not using generic diapers, honestly, I tried twice at the maximum but I wasn’t happy with the fit and the weewee absorption. Parang the urine just stays at the top hence the possibility of irritating the skin. Besides, the price difference between generic and branded diapers is not that much, promise! Generic diapers are just a few CENTS cheaper than branded diapers. So I opted to spend a few more CENTS for quality disposable diapers.
So there, the secret why Gwen’s bum is rash-free is because of Johnson’s Baby Skin Care Wipes and a branded disposable diaper.
I didn’t use baby powder on Gwen’s skin as some relatives told me na “nakakahika raw”. I didn’t think that it’s important then so I just obeyed them. When I attended the Johnson’s Baby Complete Care Diaper System launch last August, I learned that applying baby powder particularly Johnson’s Baby Complete Care Powder is also an important step in changing diapers because it repels wetness by keeping pee and poop away from touching baby’s bottom. It also soothes rashes and helps reduce friction.
But remember when applying powder on your baby, you must first put the powder on your hands away from baby’s face then apply to baby’s bum.
To keep it simple, the secret to a diaper rash-free baby is: Johnson’s Baby Skin Care Wipes + Johnson’s Baby Complete Care Powder + regular diaper changes.

Really, myth lang pala? Anyhoo, Raviv is also a Johnson’s baby like I was: Johnson’s Baby Bath, Johnson’s Baby Shampoo & Johnson’s Baby Powder Cornstarch. I tried the other brands but I didn’t like how it smelled. Johnson’s is Johnson’s–laging perfect ang amoy.
Even I, until now, the only lotion I use is the pink Johnson’s Baby Lotion. When I was preggy and hated almost any smell, I used to carry a pink Johnson’s Baby Lotion bottle with me to smell so I won’t barf.
Raviv naman is a Pamper’s Active Dry baby. That’s the only diaper that does cause him to have leaks.
Oo, pansin ko rin naman most kids nga halos naliligo ng powder sa leeg, kahit baby pics ko nung bata ako ang puti ng leeg ko and I turned out fine =).
I guess J&J is really a staple na in everyone’s essentials, w/ or w/o babies.
i, too, have been using wipes (j&j, yung light pink) on my baby since day 1 (though now we wash his butt) but i only started using powder when he was about 6 months old na. he turned out fine. never had diaper rash (he’s already 2) i think naman most babies have diaper rash kasi sa sobrang tiwala sa diaper, d na nache-check at napapalitan nang regular. i also use huggies, btw. though we switched to pull-ups nung magsimula nang maging malikot, around 10 months.
