Can newborns smell floral water?

In summer, we often use floral water, which has a good effect in repelling mosquitoes. However, if there is a newborn in the family, it is best not to use floral water. Of course, you can choose floral water for babies. Even so, you must not use it excessively. Also, pay attention to the fact that floral water contains a certain amount of alcohol. When using it, you should stay away from fire, and do not let the baby use floral water alone, etc.

Can newborns smell floral water?

If the smell of the toilet water is not very strong, a little bit is okay. It is recommended not to apply toilet water directly to the baby's skin. Especially adult floral water, which contains high concentrations of irritating ingredients and can easily harm the baby's skin. Even if you want to use it, you must first dilute it with 5 times the amount of water. Once a baby is bitten by mosquitoes, small bumps will appear on the skin and it will be itchy and unbearable. The mother will feel distressed and apply floral water on the skin, but this is actually harmful and useless. Because floral water contains ingredients such as "Imonen", mint, and camphor, babies are prone to allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. Therefore, babies with allergic constitutions should not apply floral water, and those who develop dermatitis after being bitten by mosquitoes should not apply floral water to reduce swelling or itching. It is recommended to use baby-specific floral water for your baby, which is beneficial to your baby's health.

What are the precautions for babies to use floral water?

1. Avoid using adult floral water on babies. Floral water can cool you down and emit a refreshing fragrance, so mothers especially like to use it on their babies. Especially before taking the baby out to play in the evening, some mothers are accustomed to applying some floral water on the baby to repel mosquitoes. It is recommended that mothers choose baby-specific floral water, which is not only gentle and non-irritating, but also can prevent prickly heat.

2. Don’t use too much floral water on your baby. In order to repel mosquitoes or remove sweat odor, mothers sometimes apply a lot of floral water to their babies, covering every part of the body. The result of doing this is that the baby is prone to adverse reactions such as itchy skin and cold sweats, which are harmful to their health and can even be fatal in severe cases.

3. Don’t let your baby use toilet water alone. Babies are curious. They may take the bottle of toilet water and imitate their mothers, pouring it out and applying it randomly, thinking it is fun. However, once the toilet water gets into the eyes, ears or mouth, it may cause accidental injuries. Therefore, mothers should not let their babies use or play with toilet water alone.

4. Keep toilet water away from fire. Toilet water contains 75% alcohol and 5% fragrance ingredients. It will be ignited once it comes into contact with open flames (such as mosquito coils, cigarettes) or is close to fire sources (such as kitchen stoves). Therefore, when using toilet water, you must strictly avoid fire as required in the product instructions to avoid accidents.
