Baby soap

Does anyone have a recipe for making soap for bathing babies?
Thanks

I would think an all Castile soap with a superfat of 8% or more would be great. People used to use olive oil to clean new babies.
Here is a link to my favorite lye calculator:

Yes, I think any superfatted soap, but especially with olive oil would make a nice baby soap. Do not use fragrance oils in a baby soap. A little lavender e.o. would do fine.
