Maybe this is a clever diversion from the real issue

I agree with marz that allergies are linked to the weakened immune system-i'm greedy and have 3 immune diseases and have noticed a big difference with certain products that now i have become allergic to.

My daughter is 13 coming up and as a baby i never used baby wipes it was cotton wool dampened in tepid water-i didnt want to use all the added ingredients in baby wipes. I think johnsons baby products is one of the worst!!😊😊 thanks for the info poppythecat.🐱
