apparently Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is bad but it's not the only bad thing. Read the 2nd link for more info about other bad things in baby products : (

The Evolution of Parenthood
Your Clothes -
1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy.
2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible.
3rd baby: Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes.
The Baby’s Name -
1st baby: You pore over baby-name books and practice pronouncing and writing combinations of all your favourites.
2nd baby: Someone has to name their kid after your great-aunt Mavis, right? It might as well be you.
3rd baby: You open a name book, close your eyes, and see where your finger falls. Bimaldo? Perfect!
Preparing for the Birth -
1st baby: You practice your breathing religiously.
2nd baby: You don’t bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn’t do a thing.
3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month.
The Layette -
1st baby: You pre-wash your newborn’s clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby’s little bureau.
2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains.
3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can’t they?
Pacifier -
1st baby: If the pacifier falls on the floor, you put it away until you can go home and wash and boil it.
2nd baby: When the pacifier falls on the floor, you squirt it off with some juice from the baby’s bottle.
3rd baby: You wipe it off on your shirt and pop it back in.
Diapering -
1st baby: You change your baby’s diapers every hour, whether they need it or not.
2nd baby: You change their diaper every 2 to 3 hours, if needed.
3rd baby: You try to change their diaper before others start to complain about the smell or you see it sagging to their knees.
Worries -
1st baby: At the first sign of distress – a whimper, a frown – you pick up the baby.
2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn.
3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing.
Activities -
1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour.
2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics.
3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner.
Going Out -
1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times.
2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached.
3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood.
At Home -
1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby.
2nd baby: You spend a bit of every day watching to be sure your older child isn’t squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby.
3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.

superwalker,
*sayang* can imagine the panic and worries running thru ur head when u see the rashes on your precious (hey it rhymes!).. How is little timmy now? Rashes cleared?
So far Jerome has no rashes on him yet (touch wood).. but Ariel..*big sigh* she has been having skin problems for the longest time.. bought her tons of cream and brought her to see PD..still cannot cure.. getting abit helpless.. PD keep telling me Ariel's skin problem is due to her respiratory problem.. (its all linked he said)..give her english medicine no use..so going to try chinese medicine next.. will do anything to chase away her ugly red rashes!

Stacey,
I also don't know how I added you last time. You can add me to your new acc. My fb email: [email protected]
Shihui,
Both hb and I scratch our head when PD told us this conclusion. But my girl is prone to rashes. Initially was sad and worried, but then realise that the rashes didn't irritate her so we just apply cream for her and she is still happy everyday. We are going for How to train a Dragon too tml. Did you catch the 3D movie?

actually hor, i feel the more we try to "protect" our kids from "dirtying" themselves outdoors, the less immunity they have.
cos we last time kids is larp sup jia larp sup dua one. keke.
so what i do is if crowded and common use things like high chair and playground, i'll ask my son sanitise after touch.
but if it's going to the park, touching soil, trees, plants, flowers, i'm alright with it, just wash hands after.
but hor, my husband is super paranoid, everything to him is dirty. so everything cannot touch. i hope my son doesn't grow up like him so paranoid, otherwise how to find gf!
