It is best if you use a shampoo made specifically for cats. Is that your kitty in your signature pics? If so and she is still a kitten then you should make sure the shampoo is specifically for kittens. Many times, things that are completely ok for humans can make a cat and especially a kitten, very ill. If you really want to use the
baby shampoo then at least clear it with your vet first. Just to be safe!

the ph is far different in cat shampoo than in human... I personally like the foam catnip bath by vets best

I have used J&J baby shampoo for years, and it works great. The important part is that it be non-toxic and tear-free. To wash Logans chin when his kitty acne acts up, I use Baby Magic and it works great! My vet had confirmed that both products are fine, and to just be careful around their eyes.

One thing that helps restore ph balance in the skin is doing a final rinse with a couple gallons of water mixed with 2-3 tbs of vinegar.
