The Aveeno Baby lavender and vanilla calming comfort bath has a safety warning that states, "keep this product out of reach of children. Do not use without consulting a doctor if child has asthma or allergies or if there is a family history of either. Serious breathing problems could occur." Does anyone know what ingredient in it would cause some sort of reaction like that? I didn't notice this warning till my friend pointed it out and it was suprising b.c. I thought aveeno was a "good" brand. in case you wish to compare the rest of the bottle its front states:
Natural Oat Formula
Tear-Free
Helps Calm babies before bedtime
just am concerned that something might potentially affect my babys breathing b.c. asthma and allergies do run in my family. anyone else notice this on other innocuous seeming baby products they have and ended up being suprised as well?

It is because of the scent. Most doctors recommend an unscented baby wash for those with eczema,allergies,asthma.

it is just because of the nature of the soap itself. they have to put that because anything for infants that is scented has the possibility to cause lung irritability because of the pure size. I would not be worried. Aveeno is a great brand and so is Johnson and Johnson. if you are truly concerned ask your pediatrician

Hmm, it sounds like it would have something to do with the lavender & vanilla scent. I would think a child with allergies/asthma may react to this. Is there a number on the package that you could call and ask the company?
