The best products for baby hygiene? Natural and cheap!

The baby's skin is extremely delicate. For the hygiene of the little ones it is better not to use aggressive products: here is which.

The diaper change

What baby hygiene products to use when changing nappies ? Simple: running water and a natural sponge, detergents do not need to be used. The child should be kept on his stomach and resting on his support arm.

Once a day, however, it is advisable to use a detergent, which must be chosen carefully, that is to say by carefully reading the INCI: the most suitable products for the hygiene of the newborn are those without perfume, low acidity and without aggressive ingredients which could irritate the skin. Even wet wipes must be carefully chosen based on the criteria just listed; however, it is advisable to use them only when you are away from home. The best product for the hygiene of the newborn therefore remains water.

And for redness in the diaper area ? In case of trivial redness of the diaper it is sufficient to wash and dry the skin well and then leave the newborn for a few minutes with the bottom uncovered, on an open diaper; obviously, however, the environment must be warm. When there are more evident rednesses you can use a little protective paste based on zinc oxide. In any case, the diaper must be of the right size and never too tight.
