Johnson and Johnson alternative

I, like many other moms out there used Johnson and Johnson on my baby's delicate skin when I brought him home from the hospital. Hell, even the nurses at the hospital used J&J. Even when the reports were published about all the terrible chemicals in their products I continued bathing baby with J&J because my parents used it on me and well, I think I turned out just fine. I guess what I am getting at is that I did not discontinue using J&J because of the reports, but rather because my baby has very sensitive skin just like his momma and he needed something else. A girlfriend turned me onto Aquaphor by Eurecin. It is extremely thick like jelly, but it had his dry, cracked skin cleared up almost over night. I was amazed since nothing else helped him including baby oil. When I read the label over on Aquaphor I noticed that it says doctor recommended, not just doctor tested. This caught my attention enough to make me go back and look at other baby products I've purchased such as J&J and wouldn't you know it, J&J is only doctor tested. I've since purchased Aquaphor in any and all products that it comes it.
