Hello everyone, I'm Inspector~
Mothers, how do you wipe your baby clean every time you finish pooping or changing diapers?
"I'll take a basin of water, wash the baby, and then wipe it with a dry towel."
"I wiped it directly with toilet paper, and the little fart was not too dirty after the child pulled the poop."
"I like to use wet wipes, wet wipes are moist and hygienic, and they can wipe the little butts clean, which is much more convenient than flushing."
Speaking of using wet wipes, my cousin is a lover of wet wipes, once I went to her house to play, and saw that in her storeroom, there were 20 boxes of wet wipes, a box of ten packs, a pack of 80 cigarettes, I was shocked at the time, and asked her:
"How much do you get for so many wet wipes, it's enough for you to use for five or six years, why are you doing so much?"
My cousin smiled and said:
"I don't want to use it, it's all for my daughter, you don't know, every time my daughter has to wipe her ass after pooping, and after playing with toys, before and after eating, going out to play, and dirty little hands, these have to be wiped, wet wipes are really easy to use and convenient, but they are too expensive to use, but for children, you have to use them well."
Saying that, my cousin went to change the diaper for my daughter, and when I took off the diaper, I found that the baby's little ass was red, and there were a little red spots, so I asked my cousin what was going on, and my cousin also wondered: "It's been a few days, red fart, it is estimated that the diaper has been worn for a long time." ”
There is a "luxury" called wet wipes to wipe the buttocks, which many parents use
There are many parents like my cousin who give their babies wet wipes every day and anytime.
Many parents will think that wet wipes are moist, clean and hygienic, and individually packaged, which is particularly convenient and trouble-free.
However, it is convenient for parents, but it is the baby's body that is destroyed.
CCTV's "Weekly Quality Report" once reported on the possible damage to children's skin caused by wet wipes in children's products.
As one of the common hygiene products in the family, wet wipes naturally attract the favor of many parents for their convenience.
However, it also has certain side effects.
The test results showed that out of 50 samples, 2 samples had an excessive total number of bacterial colonies.
In other words, those wet wipes that look white and clean are a breeding ground for bacteria.
Moreover, wet wipes with excessive bacteria also contain preservatives, flavors and other additives.
For infants and young children, their skin is very sensitive, and using substandard wet wipes to clean children's skin for a long time, especially the intimate area, is likely to cause skin irritation or other health problems.
Children's skin is more sensitive and delicate than adults, and they are more susceptible to chemical damage;
That's why we need to pay special attention to the safety of baby products.
Children's skin is thinner, more water-permeable, and more breathable than adults, which makes it easier for outside substances to enter the body through the skin.
As a result, products that contain potentially harsh chemicals, such as alcohol and certain preservatives, are more likely to cause skin problems such as rashes and allergic reactions in babies.
The irritating properties of alcohol
Alcohol is a common disinfectant, but its use in children's wet wipes requires caution as it has a certain irritating and degreasing effect.
Alcohol can quickly kill bacteria, but it can also damage children's delicate skin barrier, causing dryness, irritation, inflammation and other conditions.
Long-term use of alcohol-based wet wipes can cause damage to the natural protective layer of children's skin, increasing the risk of infection.
Potential risks of preservatives
Although preservatives can extend the shelf life of the product, if the baby's skin is exposed to certain preservatives for a long time, it may cause some irritation to them.
The preservative CIT has a certain irritating effect on the skin and mucous membranes. If the concentration is too high, burns may also occur.
Especially on the delicate skin of children, the side effects will be more pronounced.
So, how should we choose wet wipes safely?
Although the quality of wet wipes produced by some bad businesses is not up to standard, most of the wet wipes of regular manufacturers still meet the standards.
Therefore, we need to understand the composition of the product in advance and choose wet wipes suitable for children to protect their delicate skin.
1. The first thing you should do is check the ingredient list on the product packaging.
Preference is given to products that are alcohol-free, fragrance-free, preservative-free, or labeled suitable for infants and young children.
2. Look at word-of-mouth and branding
The safety and actual effect can be judged through the evaluation of the product and the feedback of consumers.
It is best to choose products from big brands with after-sales guarantees, which are more assured to use.
3. Testing
For newly purchased wet wipes, we can try them on a small area on the inside of the child's arm or behind the ear, observe them for 24 hours, see if there are any adverse reactions, and then decide whether to continue to use them.
4. Wipe dry after use
When we wipe the baby with wet wipes, try to wait until the skin is dry, and then put on diapers to avoid the skin being soaked for a long time and causing rashes or allergies.
