Q: What's best for baby skin?
Is it best to use a specific detergent and softener for my baby's clothes?Also the baby towel I've bought is shedding lots of fluff-is this bad for my baby's breathing?
A: Research involving adults with eczema found that the kind of detergent used,whether biological or non-biological,made no difference to their skin.However,many people prefer to use a non-bio detergent for washing children's clothes.But really,it's a case of trial and error,as well as personal preference.
The same goes for fabric softener.On the one hand,you may choose not to expose your child's skin to additional chemicals.
On the other,you may find that using a softener makes fabrics less likely to irritate delicate skins.General advice is to use cotton towels and clothes,and to moisturise a child's skin once or twice a day unless advised otherwise.
The towel you're using shouldn't put your child's health at risk if it's intended for a baby and is from a reputable shop,but if you're still worried,I'd suggest buyng another towel.
