Yeah, it was weird. In the first week his face cleared up completely, the next week it was his arms, then hands, then legs, and last his feet. It seemed to go from top to bottom, very weird I know. Well I just use the Tide detergent for sensitive skin, scent free, it's in the white bottle. I'm not sure if there are better ones that someone else can suggest. I know the Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo has citric acid, and may be more harsh on their skin than other soaps. I also know that some baby toothpastes have milk product, it will say it "Contains Milk Product", like the Gerber apple/banana for infants.
