Caring for your baby’s skin
Considering baby skin is far more fragile than adult skin, it makes sense to choose natural alternatives over products chock-full of chemicals. With these organic items helping to limit your baby’s exposure to skin irritation, you’re also making the smarter choice for the environment. If you’re ready to choose natural skincare products for your baby, we’ve put together some helpful tips to guide your decision-making.
Clean with bamboo wipes
Babies need to be cleaned regularly, but you don’t have to use traditional plastic wipes to ensure they get the freshen up they need. Instead, you can opt for high-quality bamboo wipes like Babylux, which ensure your child receives a stellar scrub without creating a negative impact on the earth. With these wipes free from alcohol and fragrances, they are the ideal natural alternative.
Careful about sun exposure
While you might want to spend as much time outside the home as possible with your baby, their highly sensitive skin is particularly susceptible to Australia’s harsh ultra-violet light. In addition to sunscreens made from natural products, it’s best to dress your child in appropriate clothing that covers their skin and keeps them protected from the sun.
Give regular massages
Giving your baby massages offers an array of benefits. It’s a great way to strengthen the bonds between new parents and babies while also increasing their ability to relax and sleep. When you’re purchasing a baby oil to enhance the massage, it’s always a good idea to choose an organic option that provides a soothing feel and won’t lead to painful rashes.
Seek out chemical-free products
With so many natural skincare products available, it gets incredibly confusing for parents when choosing the best option. As babies have delicate skin that might not respond well to chemicals and fragrances, strive to find organic alternatives that limit their exposure and reduce your impact on the environment.
Wash clothing with gentle detergents
Parents do a lot of laundry when they have a newborn baby. But you might not realise that traditional washing detergents include chemicals that aren’t suitable for washing your baby’s clothes. Instead, purchase laundry detergent that keeps babies in mind, with sensitive or baby-specific varieties helping to avoid nasty reactions.
