... when could we introduce baby bath/oil/talc etc? How long do we stay on the cooled boiled water for?

I think its about a month old you are meant to be able to use them but i've never liked baby oil or talc, and as cole has eczema we use oilatum jr in the bath (although tegan has only had 2 baths with him... but she's big enough for the bath seat now yay).
On tegan I've been using body shops burichi baby stuff..it smells lovely and it cleared up her dry skin within a couple of days -started using it about 3 weeks old cause of the dry skin. Only thing I'd say is be wary of johnsons stuff as a lot of people have had problems with it... I know we did with Cole - especially the lavender bubble bath stuff.. it doesnt say an age on the bottle but in the advert on tv it says suitable for babies over 7 months.
We used wipes from day 1 as she hated cotton wool and water. We still use them.
We bathe her 3 times a week and use johnsons baby wash. A drop in each bath helps keep her extra clean, esp as she has hair which needs to be kept clean. We use some nighttime lotion if she looks like she wants a baby massage.
I also use a special organic candula cream for her head so she doesnt get cradle cap.

or for drinking? if for drinking well for 12 months at least i think.
we use simple & johnsons bedtime baby bath (not at the same time!) & recently johnsons shampoo & simple bodywash, only a teeny bit, it nice for massaging his tummy in the water, helps get up left over wind
still use wet cotton wool on his bum. He's 7 weeks tomorrow.

We have been using baby wipes for 2/3 weeks now (he is 6 weeks) I monitored carefully at first for any reaction but he is absoloutely fine with them.
I also have never used cooled boiled water!
We use Johnsons head to toe for his baths and have done so since week 2. I use baby oil when needed as he gets patches of peely dry skin.
