Has anyone heard anything about not using lavender scented body wash and lotions on baby boys and toddlers?

I use the johnson and johnson lavender bath and lotion on my 10 month old and there is nothing wrong with him. I believe there would be some kind of warning on the label if this was bad. I also don't believe the product would be on the market if this was the case.

Has anyone heard anything about not using lavender scented body wash and lotions on baby boys and toddlers?
i heard something about it affecting the males reproductive organs, growing breasts etc... i stopped using it just in case.

Reply:I know that you aren't supposed to use it if your child has asthma, but not on boys. That seems a bit silly to me.
Reply:There was a hoax about them containing carcinogens a while back, but they are safe.



Just watch for allergic reactions, like rashes.
Reply:No, why not?
Reply:as long as it agrees with the babies skin... i would say wait until the baby is at least 3 months.. I couldnt use it on my nephew cuz he had scentive skin.. so just keep an our on the baby's skin afterward =) good luck!
Reply:Nope. I can't see where the issue is other than ti being more of a "girly" smell. I think johnsons and johnsons has a soothing night time lavender bath.
Reply:YES!



We absolutely do not use lavender scented washes or lotions. It's not that they are carcinogens, it's that the lavender and tea tree oils mimic estrogen and can cause boys to grow breasts. I check the labels and make sure that real lavender oils aren't used. I have two boys and I'm careful about it.



ETA: I love that I'm getting thumbs down--this isn't my *opinion*, it's a fact, read the links, the information is from The National Institutes of Health, part of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Reply:no never, the johnsons baby cream for bedtime has lavender in it and so does the shampoo it doesnt say anything on it about not putting it on boys
Reply:That is only if it contains real lavender oil.
Reply:Yes, something about them growing boobs!! I have a boy and I stopped but it would probably have to contain real lavendar oil.
