7 Baby Care Products Moms Love for Themselves

Just because you don't plan to steal that baby lotion from your newborn's changing table doesn't mean you won't. Here are the baby care products that are so amazing, moms will want to use them too

Whether they're all-natural, unbelievably gentle, or easy on the purse strings, it can be hard to resist certain baby care products for your little one -- or yourself.

Sure, you can pretend that they're for baby, but once you've indulged in that yummy-smelling lotion or super-mild shampoo, deep down you know who's really going to enjoy using it. And, why shouldn't you? The best baby lotions, oils, and powders work well on moms, too. Isn't it smarter and more pennywise to share and share alike? Especially when some products that are intended for wee ones work better than what you've been paying a premium for in the "adult" aisles?

So go ahead and steal from your baby. Just because something is meant to calm or gently clean the littlest among us doesn't mean it can't work wonders on you, too. From rash cream to sunscreen, here are the seven baby care products you'll want to nab from your newborn.

A lot of baby products are worth using on yourself.

thanks for the tips... i have been using Johnson's baby products for years... I will try other products too

Thanks for the tips! I like Burt's Baby Bee shampoos. They smell like honey and apricots and leave hair clean and soft. Both the cream and the liquid are way better than anything that company makes for adults.

I love Johnson's baby products and my kids are teens now. We also use baby's sunblock. I think that if it is good for baby's it has to be good for anyone!

I love to use Johnson's Baby Lotion & creamy baby oil. They make my skin soft & smell fantastic. I will have to try using the baby shampoo.

I had no idea paul mitchell made baby hair care products. Guess you learn something new everyday....

I liked reading this article, although some of these products might be a little hard to find in my area.

Another tip with using baby products, is baby shampoo as a makeup remover. It really works, even on eyelashes full of mascara. I rub some onto a wet washcloth and rub it on my eyes, and no more makeup residue. I also love the night time baby wash from Johnson's. Use that at night to relax myself, and it puts me right to sleep.

Baby products are very often my favorite ones! :)

what a fun and useful article!

this is interesting. i liked the suggestions. they definitely seem like they'd be worth a try. one that wasn't mentioned though was j&j's detangler. i use this and my super snarly hair let's a comb swoosh right through it. with out it: never happen.

This article is a little strange! :)

I use Aveeno baby to wash my face a lot of times as I get irritated skin during the winter. Don't forget the sensitive baby wipes that have all kinds of uses. I am going to look into the sunscreen lotion for my friend who might be interested.

Johnson's baby oil is great too for your elbow,knee or ankles,it smooths out the skin.. I even use it every time I wash dishes to moisturize my hands.

I can't stand the smell of any baby product and therefore, thanks but no thanks for this information!
