Why Tubby Todd's Baby Body Wash is Perfect for Your Newborn's Delicate Skin

There’s nothing like the feeling of bringing your precious newborn home for the very first time. They’ve just entered our big, exciting world and now they get to see the loving environment you’re giving them! We know you’ve done as much preparing as you can. Supplies, check. Crib, check. Clothes, check. Visited Tubby Todd, double check! The Todd Squad’s always ready to help you with tips and tricks on how to make babe’s first few weeks as smooth and smile-filled as possible. Your newborn is so lucky to have a Mama like you! And even though it may seem a little touch-and-go at first, we promise you’re not in it alone. You’ve got this, Mama!

With a brand new little one, your lives are gonna be filled with plenty of firsts. First day out together, first bedtime routine, first feeding (and first spit up!), and of course, we can’t forget— baby’s first bath! We know it might seem a little overwhelming—there’s a lot to know to have a successful and safe time in the bath. For one thing, you can never leave your baby unattended—not even for a second! You’ll want to gather everything you’ll need beforehand so it’s within reach. The water should also be about 90° or so. We don’t want it too hot!  And of course, you only want to use the best gentle baby body washes and soaps on your newborn’s sensitive skin.  That’s why you came to Tubby Todd!

Want more baby bathing tips? We have a step-by-step guide on how to safely bathe your infant and effectively clean and care for their delicate skin. It has everything you need to know to have a successful first bath—you just add all the giggles! Getting clean can be oh-so fun! But the soapy suds you use on your newborn’s delicate skin can’t be just any shampoo or body wash, they should be specifically formulated for baby’s delicate skin. But don’t worry Mama, you came to Tubby Todd because you know that we always have your back! We’re here to give you the tools and info on how to have the most fun in the tub with nourishing bodycare basics your fam can rely on. 

Our co-founders created Tubby Todd as a solution to their own family’s sensitive skin! We completely understand the feeling of struggling to find solutions for our little ones that were made just for them. We all want the best options possible for washing and nourishing babe’s sensitive skin. That’s why at TT, we design and formulate all our skincare solutions with Mama and baby in mind because we want to give you the best products that are effective AND gentle for the youngest of newborns.

Unfortunately, not all body washes and soaps are created equal. Certain products might work for you but not for your baby. Adult skin and hair are not the same as that of a newborn. Their skin is more delicate and can’t hold moisture like an adult’s. That’s why newborns can be prone to sensitive skin conditions. Babe’s body wash and soap need to keep their skin super moisturized! Especially during the changing seasons. Just like adults can experience dry skin during those colder months, your baby can too. TT has a variety of dry skin solutions for babe, you, and the whole fam. We even have some tips on how to take care of dry skin while traveling! 

But when it comes to bathtime…there’s only one choice! Tubby Todd’s Hair + Body Wash! This soap was made to give baby super soft skin, get them squeaky clean, and make bathtime a party. Why is it so good at its job? It’s filled with only the best ingredients. No parabens, steroids, or artificial fragrances here! Using plant power and natural extracts like Honeysuckle and Camellia Leaf Extracts, it cleans deep while keeping little one’s skin hydrated and nourished. It won’t strip moisture from the skin like some soaps can.

By the time bathtime’s over, your child’s skin will be happy and glowing. Wondering how to use it? It only takes 1-2 pumps to lather like it matters. Then massage gently to clean and condition your little one’s skin (and hair!) with lots of quality Mama and baby time as an added bonus. Don’t worry about it irritating your newborn either. It’s not only hypoallergenic but Pediatrician and Dermatologist tested too. So you can feel confident that you’re using a product that’s safe and effective for babe. It also comes in scents you and your child will love like our classic Lavender Rosemary, or shop a Fragrance-free option if you prefer. Also certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny! Seriously, what’s not to love about our Hair + Body Wash?

As impressive as our wash is at cleaning little one’s skin and hair, it works best as part of a team! A group of Tubby Todd bodycare basics that work together as one sensitive skincare routine to fight dry and sensitive skin. You’ll find them in our Regulars Bundle, or as we like to call it: our TT 3-Step Solution. You have a skincare routine, right? And your little one should too!

Creating and maintaining a consistent skincare routine is the best way to promote happy, hydrated skin for your babe. This bundle is the perfect place to start. It includes everything you need to follow our daily skincare soothing routine. You already know our Hair + Body Wash, that’s step one! It’s perfect for cleaning skin and hair during bathtime without stripping moisture. The next step involves our Everyday Lotion. You can apply EDL daily, whenever little one’s skin is feeling dry, but we especially love to use it right after bathtime to further hydrate your newborn’s skin and lock in all that bath moisture. (A little goes a long way!) The last step is our miracle in a jar—All Over Ointment Eczema Treatment. 15,000 5-star reviews are hard to argue with! Parents everywhere love how our AOO can be used for all sorts of skin sensitivities for any member of your fam including dryness, redness, rash, irritation and eczema. In our 3-Step Routine, AOO is used to spot treat any extra dry or affected areas of your child’s skin. It also helps to seal moisture in and block irritants out. To apply, use a small amount to spot-treat any extra dry areas. 

That’s it! Now you’re ready to have a successful and bubble-filled bathtime with babe. 

Don’t forget about our Worry Free Guarantee, if you’re unsatisfied for any reason at all, our Todd Squad will make it right. That’s our promise to you!
