Is it safe to utilize infant powder on my child?

I suggest against it due to the danger of respiratory issues. The American Academy of Pediatrics brings up that child powder can bring about breathing inconvenience and genuine lung harm for children in the event that they breathe in the particles. (Also, it's difficult to keep powder out of the air when you're utilizing it.) 

This is particularly valid for powder based powders, with their little, effortlessly breathed in particles. Be that as it may, different powders, including cornstarch-based powders, can likewise be breathed in. 

Indeed, even little measures of powder can bother a child's small lungs – particularly if the infant is at high hazard for respiratory disease. Those at high hazard incorporate untimely infants, babies with inborn coronary illness, and children who've had RSV or successive respiratory sicknesses. 

On the off chance that your infant isn't at high hazard and you choose to utilize powder, do as such sparingly. Put the powder staring you in the face to begin with, far from your infant, not straightforwardly on or close to her. 

Keep the powder compartment well far from your infant and of any more seasoned siblings and sisters, as well. You don't need little hands to get hold of it or thump it over and create a billow of powder that could be breathed in. 

To avert skin aggravation, don't enable powder to develop. At each diaper change, wash away any powder that may have aggregated, particularly in the folds of your child's skin.
