Wet wipes are a daily necessity that we often have in our homes.
Especially after having a baby, we can use it to keep the baby's hands clean and hygienic, and we can also use it to wipe the child's toys or tables and chairs, which is very convenient.
It is precisely because the wipes are very soft, the water content is high, can minimize the friction damage to the skin, but also can make the child's skin cooler, so many parents like to use it to wipe their children's hands and feet, wipe farts, etc., so the wipes have become a big helper for parents to clean their children.
However, behind such a habitual behavior, there are great "hidden dangers".
★ The indiscriminate use of wet wipes is likely to be the "culprit" that causes diarrhea in children.
After Bao Ma Kiki has a child, she often uses wet wipes to clean the hands and feet, mouth, farts and dishes and chopsticks for the child, etc., and has to hoard a box of wet wipes every month, using them too quickly.
But suddenly one day, Kiki found that the child's ass was a little red and swollen, and there was a situation of diarrhea all the time.
No matter what kind of measures she took, it could not have obvious effects, which made her very confused: these days the child has been making trouble in the stomach, and she has not let him eat any broken food, how can it not get better?
And her mother-in-law's words made her wake up: "Is it the problem of wet paper towels?" The child is still young, is the chemical composition in the wet tissue irritating the child's skin and stomach? ”
Kiki thought it was also reasonable, so she took the child to the hospital for a good examination, and the doctor gave the same statement as the mother-in-law thought: the culprit that caused the child's bacterial infection was the seemingly "harmless" and "soft" wet wipes.
Using wipes for a long time will be over-cleaned and even cause a series of allergic reactions
It's not without reason that parents like to use wipes, because wipes do have a very high moisture content, and some add alcohol or other cleaning ingredients. But if you use it for a long time, it will put your child in a state of excessive cleaning.
In this state, the child's skin will become very sensitive, a little contact with some of the outside world's irritations and bacteria, it will cause them to produce a series of allergic reactions, which is a great negative impact on the child's development.
Wet wipes will inevitably contain some chemical components
When producing wet wipes, merchants will inevitably add some chemical ingredients and flavors.
And the ingredients added by each manufacturer are different, so the raw materials for the production of the ingredient list need to be carefully compared by parents.
The main ingredients of many wipes contain certain preservatives and nonionic active agents, and some also contain alcohol and fragrance. These things have a certain effect on cleaning, but they will form a certain irritation on the delicate skin and stomach of the child.
Children often have a fragile stomach, if parents often use wipes to wipe the baby's mouth and hands or wipe the tableware, then the child indirectly eats the chemical ingredients in the wipes, and for a long time, gastrointestinal problems may occur.
★ When cleaning your child, try not to "overuse" wipes
Although the wet wipes can effectively achieve the cleaning effect, and it is very convenient to use, there is no problem with occasional use, but it is not a good thing for children to use this cleaning method frequently.
In daily life, parents can wash their children's mouths and hands with warm water and gently dry them with a face towel.
Tableware is best washed with running water, and then dried naturally, which is safer to use.
