To take care of baby health, there are a few essential health items that every baby needs. Toiletries and items useful to have in your medicine cabinet or baby health kit include:
Babies have sensitive skin that can be easily irritated. Special care must be taken to protect their skin. Baby skin care products are designed to be gentle and effective. Baby toiletries, as well as baby lotions, creams and powders can help to keep your baby's skin hydrated and free from irritation. Baby rash cream can also be used to treat and prevent diaper rash. Diaper rash is a common problem that can cause discomfort and pain for your baby. Baby rash cream can help to soothe and protect your baby's skin. Choose creams developed for baby skin on stings and bites as well.
Baby ear muffs are designed to protect your baby's delicate hearing. They fit snugly over your baby's ears and help to block out loud noises. Baby ear muffs can be worn during activities such as festivals, sporting events or whenever you're exposed to loud noise. Loud noises can damage your baby's hearing and ear muffs can help to reduce the risk of this happening.
No, baby wipes and household antibacterial wipes are not the same. Baby wipes are designed to be gentle on your baby's skin. Baby wipes should only be used on your baby's bottom and hands. Antibacterial wipes are designed to kill bacteria and viruses. Antibacterial wipes can be used on surfaces and objects to kill bacteria and viruses, but are too harsh for your baby's delicate skin and can cause irritation.
Baby safety is important. Most baby health products are suitable for newborn babies. However, it's always best to check the label before using any product on your baby. This is because some products may not be suitable for very young babies. For example, Baby sunscreen should not be used on newborn babies. Newborn babies should be kept out of direct sunlight and protected from the sun's harmful rays. Baby sunglasses can help to protect your baby's eyes from the sun. Baby hats and long-sleeved clothing can also help to protect your baby from the sun.
If you're worried about your baby's health, speak to your doctor or baby healthcare professional. They will be able to give you advice on the best products to use and how to care for your baby.
