Can babies smell the scent of floral water?

Floral water is a must-have item for us in summer. It is also a good medicine for preventing mosquitoes and treating mosquito bites. Although there are many baby floral waters on the market, many irritating substances are added to floral water. Even if the advertisement says zero additives, it is almost impossible. It is best for younger babies to have less contact with it. Floral water has a pungent smell, so it is good for the baby to smell it as little as possible.

1. Can babies smell the scent of floral water?

If the smell of the toilet water is not very strong, it is okay for the baby to smell a little. 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.

2. Can babies with allergies use floral 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.

3. 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.
