Toddler bubble bath?

[mrsjrd23]

Is there a safe bubble bath option for toddlers?  DS is obsessed with wanting a bubble bath.  We sometimes put a little bit of his body wash into the water to create a few suds but freaks out and wants bubbles like mommy has in her bath.  Is there something I can get to give him more suds that is safe for his eyes/skin?  He will be 2 next week.

We've used CA baby, honest company and now up and up baby wash/bubble bath. The ca baby had the longest lasting bubbles but it's the most expensive. Up & up has been fine and hasn't bothered the boys' skin.

We use Yes to Baby Carrots -- both the shampoo/body wash and the bubble bath.

Why would bubble bath be unsafe for toddlers? What are you worried about, getting it in his eyes or something else? I have no idea how long my youngest has been having bubble baths, probably before she was 1 (the perils of having older siblings).

We use Mr Bubble. The one in the white bottle. Hypoallergenic, pediatrician and dermatologist approved, tear-free, fragrance-free. She's never had a problem with it. At the end I make her stand up and pour some clean water on her. I think it does dry the skin a bit, but we just use lotion.

Mostly concerned with ingredients in the bubble bath being harsh on the skin or toxic.

And I've read that bubble bath can be an irritant to urinary tracts of babies and toddlers.

it's an irritant for everyone's genitals pretty much but as long as it's not everyday I think it's ok. We also use the mr. Bubble in the white bottle.

Burt's Bees is what we use. Other brands have actually irritated DD's genitals after just a couple uses.

We use CA baby super sensitive for J. It's expensive, but he has eczema and very sensitive skin so I'm very carefull abut what I put on his skin.

I reacted so badly to Mr. Bubble as a kid (killer UTIs) that I'm really hesitant to use bubbles in DS's bath.

Me too. And I very rarely had bubble baths.
