1、 Function of baby wipes
Baby wipes are specially designed for babies. They are different from ordinary wipes. Their materials and ingredients are mild. They can be divided into ordinary baby wipes and hand mouth baby wipes according to different parts of use. As babies are active and often dirty, mothers will use them to wipe their hands and nose for babies. When used specifically, baby wipes have the following functions.
1. Moisturizing: Baby skin is often dry, especially in autumn and winter. When cleaning your baby's dirty hands and face, if you use ordinary paper towels or towels, they can't moisturize your baby's skin. Generally, baby paper towels with better quality contain moisturizing ingredients such as aloe, which can moisturize your baby's skin.
2. Small friction: baby skin is delicate, wet wipes are soft, and the materials used are usually thin cotton or non-woven fabrics, so they are softer than towels, which can reduce the friction damage to baby skin.
3. Antibacterial: Some baby wipes contain antibacterial ingredients, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria. For babies who are curious about the world all day long, they can certainly reduce the probability of bacterial infection and illness.
2、 Is it necessary to buy baby wipes
Newborn babies not only have delicate skin, but also their bodies are often easy to get dirty. In addition to taking the place of towels to clean your baby's dirty hands and face and moisturize them, baby wipes are also a good helper for your baby's diarrhea and fart washing. It is believed that it is a headache for mothers to wash their babies' farts several times a day, but it is more convenient to wipe them with baby wipes, which saves time and effort, and can also be cleaned more cleanly.
In addition, baby wipes can also be used to wipe the baby's toys, which is much easier than washing with clean water or wiping with paper towels, and has a better cleaning effect. It is still necessary to use baby wipes. The amount of wet wipes used by each baby each month depends on the baby's month and specific conditions.
3、 Which components of baby wipes are unsafe
Everything for babies must be absolutely safe. Every mother must think so. Then, baby wipes, as ordinary wipes used by adults, have different ingredients from adult wipes. For example, the alcohol used for disinfection in ordinary wet wipes used by adults cannot be added.
1. Alcohol
The alcohol in ordinary wet wipes is used for disinfection and sterilization. But those who have studied chemistry know that alcohol is volatile and will take away a lot of water in the process of volatilization. The baby's skin is very easy to dry, so the wet wipes added with alcohol will make the baby's skin feel uncomfortable, which is not suitable for the baby.
2. Fluorescent agent
Fluorescent agent is a fluorescent dye, which is a complex organic compound. It will greatly weaken the immunity and wound healing ability. If it accumulates too much in the human body, it will not only cause serious harm to the liver and other important organs, but also induce cell canceration, which is one of the potential carcinogenic factors. Therefore, fluorescent agents are not allowed in baby wipes, which may pose a great potential threat to baby health.
3. Preservatives
Preservatives are substances used to prolong the life and duration of articles. However, preservatives added in baby products may cause skin allergy and even allergic dermatitis. If the baby is exposed to too much, it may inhibit bone growth to a certain extent and endanger the health of the kidney and liver. For babies with rapid physical development, this requires more attention from mothers.
4. Essence
Some essence will stimulate the skin, especially for infants with thin skin. Some essence even have an impact on human body functions, so in order to reduce allergy and potential risks, it is better not to contain essence ingredients in baby wipes
4、 How to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of baby wipes
When faced with a variety of baby wipes and brands, do mothers have no idea what to buy? How to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of baby wipes? Mothers should be careful.
1. Check the product manual carefully, and select the products of regular manufacturers with detailed factory address, service telephone, hygiene standards, enterprise standards and relevant health department filing number.
2. Baby wipes generally do not contain alcohol, essence and other ingredients that are irritating to baby skin. Put the wet towel beside your nose and smell it gently. Make sure there is no strong fragrance or pungent taste before you buy it. In addition, better quality baby wipes contain antibacterial ingredients.
3. The raw material of baby wipes should be spunlaced non-woven fabric (also known as non-woven fabric). Spunlaced fabric refers to a kind of non-woven fabric forming process, as well as other processes such as hot air, hot rolling, etc., but baby wipes are generally better than spunlaced fabric. Spunlaced non-woven fabric used for baby wipes is mainly composed of viscose (natural fiber mainly made of cotton) and polyester (chemical fiber). There are usually 3:7, 5:5 and 7:3 ratios, which refer to the proportion of viscose to polyester, and 3:7 ratio refers to the proportion of viscose to polyester. 7: The ratio of 3 refers to 70% viscose and 30% polyester. The higher the content of viscose, the better the quality, and the higher the cost and price. The higher the content of viscose, the softer and the better the water absorption.
4. High quality baby wipes non-woven fabric is white without any impurities. The raw materials of low-quality wet wipes are very poor. It can be seen that there are obvious impurities on them. High quality wet wipes will not have obvious fuzzing during use, while low-quality wet wipes will have obvious fuzzing during use
5、 Precautions for use of baby wipes
Wet wipes are made of non-woven fabrics, not natural substances, and more attention should be paid when using them for babies with delicate skin. The following points should be taken care of by mothers.
1. If the baby's skin has wounds or redness, swelling, pain, itching and other symptoms, it is better not to use it. If it is used, consult a doctor if necessary.
2. Wet wipes should be placed out of the reach of the baby's hands to prevent the baby from eating them by mistake.
3. Remember to open the sealing sticker when using, and close the sticker when not in use to keep the soft wipes moist. After taking the wet towel, the sealing strip shall be pasted immediately to avoid high temperature or direct sunlight, which may cause the dry of the wet towel and affect the use effect.
4. The service life of baby wipes is generally 1.5 to 3 years. When using wipes that have been placed for a long time, pay attention to see if they are within the shelf life to avoid irritation or damage to baby skin.
5. Do not directly wipe your baby's eyes, middle ear and mucous membrane with a wet towel.
6. In order to keep baby wipes moist, different types of wipes should be selected according to the actual use.
6、 Does too much baby wipes affect babies
There are many brands and varieties of baby wipes on the market now. As long as you pay attention to buying authentic wipes of good quality, too many baby wipes will not affect the baby.
High quality baby wipes are soft in texture, less in chemical composition, and free of adverse ingredients such as alcohol preservatives. They are good helpers for mothers to clean their babies.
In addition, the action should be gentle when using, so as not to cause too strong friction on the baby's skin, so as long as the correct use and purchase, the baby's health will not be affected. Also, the winter is coming, and the temperature will drop, which can reduce the use of baby wipes. Too cold will cause discomfort to the baby's skin, and may catch cold if used too much.
