This product is perfect for clearing your baby’s nose. I was really worried to use this on my daughter for the first time, but it’s super gentle yet effective. Babies are naturally nose breathers, so they need to be able to have their nasal passages ...

Aquaphor is a must have. This has so many uses! Anywhere from diaper rashes, drool rashes, and dry/chapped skin. I love to use this to spot treat my baby’s dry skin. It really works and acts as a barrier cream.
