We have tried most of the lotions on our list, below. After trying them, here are a few comments:

•     Aveeno makes a great lotion. You can purchase this product at most retail stores and it is cost effective.

•     Aubrey works great, but it has a strong almond scent. If you dislike the smell of almonds, stay away from this product!

•     California infant & newborn makes a great lotion as well. The almond smell did not bother our children, but several other testers reported that the odor was not appealing.

In short, we have been using the Aveeno product with our children for the last year. It goes on smoothly and does not have any scent at all.
