The Honest Truth About The Honest Company

Okay, first off a little disclaimer... 
This post is in no way sponsored. Also, as I thought I would have my new camera by now.. Unfortunately, I do not. Please excuse the photo quality, I am still learning. 

As the title reads, I'll be giving my honest truth about The Honest Company products and how they have effected my baby in his one month of life. Oh my gosh, one month? How has time flown so quickly? It's exciting and sad at the same time. I want my little man to stay little and snuggly forever. Okay, on to the review.. 


Starting off, I'd like to recommend to all the mommy-to-be's out there, if you haven't had your baby shower yet, HAVE A DIAPER RAFFLE. Subtle enough? Okay, good. Glad that is taken care of. 
I had a diaper raffle at my glorious baby shower, and received TONS of diapers. Mainly, Huggies, Pampers, and Honest diapers showed up to party. I got some Luvs as well. 
When we brought little man home, Huggies were the first package to be open. Then by week 2 we opened and tried Pampers. I had noticed that Huggies were causing Theo's diaper area to be red.. So, as said, we moved on to Pampers. After just two days of Pampers, the redness was gone. However, his little butt cheeks were raw with slight bleeding.. WHAT?! YES! 
Sadly, when I noticed this I was not home. We went over to Trevor's parent's house for a small Christmas party. What did I have in my diaper bag? Pampers diapers only. I also had a small travel size of The Honest Company "Organic Healing Balm", so I applied that to his bum and re-diapered with pampers. I felt like a terrible new mommy. By the next diaper change, his bottom was less red and the little area of bleeding was not bleeding. While away from home this night, I patted (not wipe) his bottom with warm water wipes, applied the healing balm, and put a diaper on him. The next day at home, his bottom was literally healed. I swear. So, I kept using the last of the pampers. Bad idea. By the end of the day, the problem way back. This time, I applied the Boudreaux's Butt Paste. It helped a little, but nothing like the The Honest Company Healing Balm. 
At this point, this new mommy was finished experimenting.. I opened the honest company diapers and started using them along with the healing balm and powder. The problem was healed, yet again, within hours. That was it, my mind was made up. 
The cool thing about Target (and Walmart), is that whatever diapers you get at your shower, if you want a different brand, they will return yours and give you a gift card with the dollar amount for you to go purchase what you really want/need. 
I took everything back... Huggies, GONE! Pampers, GONE. Luvs, GONE. I wasn't playing. I got all Honest Company diapers. 

Aside from diapers, I received an Honest Company gift package at my shower that was filled with products for bath time. I haven't exactly had any problems with Johnson & Johnson, but I have a lot of faith and trust in The Honest Company after their diapers and cream came to my Theo's rescue. 
I use their bath products and LOVE the way they smell. The lotion keeps Theo moisturized and just as soft can be. 

I have not subscribed to their monthly service yet simply because Theo is only one month old and I can buy their products at Target. Also, the monthly subscription is a tad expensive and I'm not sure I can commit to it. 
Even if I can't commit to their subscription, I am committed to their company. I highly recommend their products and I'd say so does Theo (My Son). 

If you're looking for a shower gift to get someone, I suggest looking into The Honest Company products. They're worth it, and the person you're gifting will love it. If they don't, it's because they haven't had an experience like me yet. I say yet because almost every baby has diaper issues. If your baby has never had a diaper rash or redness then props to you. If your baby has, and you struggled with it, then try these products and let me know about your experience!! 

Alrighty Ya'll, well my over all review of The Honest Company is pretty clear. If not, then I'll just say..We are pro Honest Company. 
Sorry this post is so long, but for all the moms and mommy-to-be's out there - it's worth the read! If you can avoid a diaper issue, then do it. Try these products out and I hope they help you as much as they helped us!
