Can a one-year-old baby be bathed with floral water?

Floral water is used to prevent mosquito bites or treat mosquito bites. Floral water contains a lot of alcohol, so applying it in the summer can make your body feel very cool. If you use floral water frequently in summer, it can effectively protect your body from mosquito bites. So can babies use toilet water to bathe? Let us introduce it in detail below.

As the weather gets hotter, various "summer heat relief tips" on Weibo are popular among citizens. Among them, the "Magical Floral Water Series" is particularly popular because of its simplicity and ease of use. These tips include: "When washing your hair or taking a bath, add five or six drops of floral water to the water, which can have a cooling and sterilizing effect, as well as a heat-removing and itching-relieving effect", "After taking a bath, you can spray your body with floral water, which has a very good heat-removing effect", "When washing clothes, add a few drops of floral water, soak them for a few minutes, and then rinse them clean."

However, some citizens are worried that bathing children with floral water or applying floral water after bathing may cause some health problems. Ms. Zheng, who lives in Yangpu District, said that one time after she took a shower, she applied too much toilet water and then entered an air-conditioned room. She suddenly felt "cold all over", especially in her chest and stomach. I don’t even dare to put a drop of toilet water in my baby’s bath water.

In this regard, floral water contains ingredients such as mint and borneol, and some floral water contains alcohol, which is volatile. After application, it can take away some of the heat in the human body, thus giving people a cool and refreshing feeling. After being bitten by mosquitoes, applying floral water locally can also help relieve itching.

However, some parents currently use toilet water inappropriately. If you are not allergic, it is fine. However, people who are allergic to certain substances, such as spices, alcohol, camphor, and mint, are not suitable for using floral water. It is recommended to apply a small amount to hidden places such as the inner forearm or behind the ear before use. If there is no allergic reaction after 24 hours, it can be used. It is worth mentioning that children under 3 years old are not suitable for using adult-formulated toilet water.

Topical application of alcohol is a physical way to reduce the temperature of patients with fever. There is really no need for parents to apply floral water all over their children's bodies. "Nowadays we have fans and air conditioners, so there is no need to use the old-fashioned cooling methods. Topical application to relieve itching is enough." As for some parents putting drops of floral water in their children's bath water, experts believe that this is "meaningless" and because the ingredients in the floral water are diluted in the water, even the relieving itching effect may not be effectively achieved.

The question of whether babies can bathe with floral water has been clearly explained above. In normal times, you can use it according to actual needs. The baby's body is not fully developed yet, so special attention must be paid to his lifestyle and diet. We should actively take measures to prevent diseases for our babies, and seek timely treatment if they are sick.
