Nowadays, as long as you take your baby out, parents will definitely bring one thing! That is -- baby wipes. Because of it: the baby's hands can be wiped when they are dirty, the buttocks can be wiped when urinating and pulling, and even the mouth and teeth can be cleaned. Where is it really dirty?

But is this really good for your baby's health? What is the correct way to use wet wipes? What should you pay attention to when choosing a safe wipe for your baby? Well, let's explore it today.

Occasionally using wipes a few times will not have much impact on your baby's health, but if you use it for a long time or use it frequently, your baby's body will "protest". Now, let me explain to you, the frequent use of wet wipes to clean the hands, mouth, and private parts will cause several kinds of damage to the baby:

hand

Most wipes contain alcohol, fragrances, disinfectants, preservatives, and even brighteners and fluorescent agents. Do you think it's okay to wipe your baby's hands? There will still be residues on the hands. Moreover, if you eat it with your hands wiped with a wet towel, it is inevitable that your baby will not accidentally eat unhealthy additives. If the baby with allergies is frequently used wet wipes, it is easy to cause the baby's skin to appear red, swollen and rash.

mouth

Some merchants claim that their products use food-grade raw materials, which can wipe the baby's mouth and clean the deciduous teeth without any harm to the baby's health. In fact, there are still additives in the wet wipes that are not good for the baby's health. To be cautious, parents should not take this kind of propaganda lightly. Because once the baby accidentally eats the harmful additives in the wet wipes, it may induce intestinal diseases.

private parts

It is not recommended to use wet wipes when caring for the baby's private parts, because it is easy to lead to the imbalance of the flora in the private parts. And wipes contain chemicals and disinfectants that can irritate the private parts and buttocks and have a detrimental effect on your baby. If your baby has diaper rash, it can also make the symptoms worse and take longer to heal.

How to use baby wipes correctly?

If there is a faucet at home or around, it is best to use running tap water to clean the hygiene of all parts of the baby. If the surrounding environment cannot be cleaned for the baby like this, parents can wash the wipes with warm water, pure water or clean water before using them for the baby. This can reduce the additives in the wipes and protect the baby's skin from harm to the greatest extent.

Some parents will ask, what about water? Where does the water come from? Parents can buy a bottle of pure water, or bring two bottles of water when they go out. The one in the thermos cup can be used for drinking or formulating milk powder for the baby. After drinking the empty mineral water bottle, wash it and fill it with cold water for the baby to wash hands and rinse with wet wipes. . Of course, cotton soft towels can also be used to clean the baby after being wet.
