Below is a website someone passed on to me. It calculates how many toxins are in lotions, etc. I was particularly surprised when I saw the numbers for normal brands of baby shampoos/lotions.

This is what I think I'm going to go with (I'm not completely jumping into the "organic/natural" wagon...but I am trying to find a happy medium). The rating is 1 - 10 (10 being the most toxic)
~Baby Aquaphor diaper cream (rated a 2)
~Earth Mama Angel Baby Natural Stretch Oil (rated a 0) or straight cocoa butter (in a a tube at Walmart/Dollar Store)
~Seventh Generation Unscented Baby Wipes with Aloe Vera & Vit E (rated a 1), Pampers Wipes Natural with Aloe (rated a 3), or Huggies Fragrance Free (rated a 4)
~CVS Lanolin Cream - for nipples (rated a 1) or Lansinoh Nipple Cream (rated a 1)
~Earth Science Pure Essentials Fragrance-Free Shampoo (rated a 2...you can buy it at www.vitacost.com for $4 / 12 oz)
~Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal (rated a 2 and so is the off-brand) or Aveeno Baby Daily Baby Lotion (rated a 2)
