Water and Oil
There are so many different kind of baby bathing products out there! It can be confusing as to which one is the most gentle for your baby's sensitive skin.
Actually, for the first few months, when bathing your baby, just plain old water is the best thing for their skin!
If you find that you need to use a little something more on baby's bottom, I would suggest either Johnson's Head to Toe, or a bar of Dove soap.
If you use soap simply to get that "yummy" baby smell, try using baby oil after his or her bath. I love to give my babies a good rub down with baby oil after bathing them. This keeps their skin from getting dry and leaves them smelling wonderful! This also keeps the skin from chafing in the endless roles of fat that our babies tend to develop! (Make sure you lay your baby on a towel while you oil them - besides the chance of getting oil on the changing surface, the towel will catch any leak that might happen during baby's massage!)

Burt's Bees makes a baby oil from apricot kernels that makes me want to smooch my baby girl like crazy! I highly recommend indulging in that sort of splurge. ;)
