I see around people talking about lavender lotion and lavender bathing products to calm your baby. I would be happy if someone can tell me which company produces lavender lotion and bathing products and if it is good for the newborn skin. I live in a place where there isnt any shopping malls or a baby shop. I only have some supermarkets here with limited items and i havent come across lavender products. I am 27 weeks + 1 day preggy (second baby) and i am buying things for the baby when ever i go to the city. So the next time when i drive down for a shopping, i would like to get some good bathing products that would suit the newborn skin and would calm them and put them to sleep. I live in the middle east. So i dont know if id get the products that are available in US or UK or Canada. Yet i have a mother care shop and i can try if they have the products there.
Thanks in advance!!! :-)

they might be able to tell you where to get it.
I love it but I think it's for 3 months+ because newborns sinuses are more sensitive. The scent is stonger but that's the natural "sleep-inducer" working. The scent is not strong on the baby after he is out of the bath & dry-it just leaves nice baby smell. The vapor bath they have is great for babies who have colds also.

Johnson and Johnson products are good for baby and this brand is what they use in the hospitals in australia.
Try ordering on-line if you can't get to the city often.
I personally don't think that these lavendar products really aide the baby in settling them down because its not concentrated enough so I would recommend getting some lavendar oil and sprinkling 2-3 drops on their bedding for fragrance to help calm bubs.
Also a baby really doesn't need a lot of smelly bath or lotion stuff as some babies can have a reaction to it. Usually just warm water is enough to clean a baby since they aren't exactly rolling around in the mud and you wipe them with baby wipes at every nappy change so they aren't covered in pee or poo either. I really like "Am-o-lin" products as they are good for sensitive skin and have a lovely smell. Johnson & Johnson are great too though.
Have fun shopping and check out what you can buy on-line.
Best of luck

Johnson and johnson. But I would wait till baby is between 3-6 months. Then skin isn't as sensitive. Plus it has a really stong smell so maybe regular baby lotion on body and little on the feet. Also huggies is starting to make it too. You may look into just soothing candles or warming oil that isn't as strong that way if you notice baby having a problem then you can take it out with out disturbing them. And the smell will dissipate faster. But any lotion and baby massage works too.

You can find the lavendar bathing products in a lot of different brands including Johnson & Johnson, Gerber, and Huggies. They do help calm baby at night and is perfectly safe for their sensitive skin.
Good luck!

Johnson & Johnson make them. The only thing is the fragrance is really strong, and my baby seemed to have upper respiratory problems when I used them. I would stay away from any strong fragrances with a newborn. My baby was older, and this still was a problem for him

Johnson & Johnson makes lavendar products, but you shouldn't use them until your baby is 3 months old. There are lots of sites that you can order products online and they should be able to ship them to you.

We use Johnson and Johnson's Lavander Baby Wash on our children, and it says on the bottle that its good for helping them go to sleep. Also, Gerber makes some lavander baby wash. And aside from it helping them sleep, it smell really good. You could try to order these products online from one of the many American stores, i.e. Target, Kmart, Wal-Mart goodluck.
