:err::err: Does he have craddle cap? Coz if have usually the hair would be smelly too.

If not craddle cap, try another shampoo! Iggy pespires alot as well, and he stinks when I was using J&J for him. I changed to Mustela and Pigeon and he smells soo heavenly after it even when he pespires. :p Wahahahah

:err: craddle cap is not to wear darling.. Its like "dandruff or hard scaly skin on the scalp that makes it smelly.. :001_302:

Can try Pigeon 2-in-1 hair & bod wash which is nice smelling, moisturing and cheaper also. So far, Iggy smell good after using despite running around and pespiring.. :tlaugh:
 
hmm.. my son also no baby smell.. i miss his nb smell..

what do you mummies apply first lotion then powder? is it necessary to apply powder? cos i realised that if apply powder, it will overpower the lotion smell then after awhile the nice smell is gone. is it ok to apply lotion on neck and armpit as well?

thanks!

My baby also lost his baby smell. He had cradle cap that time as well as dry skin. So his skin not nice and scalp very smelly.

I was also using J&J then I switched to Seba Med for his sensitive skin. For the cradle cap, I used Dentinox cradle cap shampoo and once healed, I switched to Seba Med children shampoo.

I apply lotion on my baby. But I don't apply powder. I heard that it's not advisable to use powder as it clogs pores.

I was just talking to my mummy friends about babies losing their 'baby smell' or that babies nowadays does not have that 'baby smell' as i remembered babies to have many years ago. My friends told me that if you use J&J products, you are halfway to achieving the 'baby smell' but with the advancement of technology and better diapers and formula (which according to them attributes to the baby smell), wala! our babies no longer have that smell.

must cradle cap be hard and scally? I noticed that my baby has like a layer of yellow skin or something on his scalp. Is it because of the shampoo we used? or that we did not clean his head properly? Pls advise how should we get rid of it?
