Antibacterial Soap

• Antibacterial Soap might be harmful for your
  children. No doubt that such an Antibacterial
  Soaps are made to eradicate germs from your hands
  and body but this does affect children with super
  sensitive skin. The ingredient that causes such
  irritation is triclosan. The FDA has also gone
  through studies that shows that the ingredients
  are absolutely harmful for the children and hence
  it should always be kept in mind while applying
  the same on your kid. Such chemicals are highly
  toxic to skin and can affect the growth and
  development of a child. If you are super alert of
  the germs then buying a normal soap is just fine.

Having eczema problems with lotion

• We all want babies with extra soft skin but
  sometimes it may contain problems for sensitive
  babies. Certain moisturizers might contain
  burning agents which will create problems for
  children just after applying. The fragrances in
  the moisturiser might irritate the skin and will
  make it more sensitive to children suffering from
  eczema. Parents still worry for certain
  ingredients in the lotion that are quite
  bothersome, like for example, parabens and
  phthalates. Many even suggested that it causes
  hormonal problems. If your baby has super dry
  skin, always use mild soap and pat the skin.
  Rubbing will cause the skin to break off which
  will create more burning sensation. If you still
  want to use lotion on your babys body, you must
  consult with the pediatrician for some
  suggestions as per the skin type.

Using baby wipes

• Disposable baby wipes might be harmful for your
  baby. It contains irritable alcohol that causes
  skin to burn or have the feeling of irritation.
  Some of the brands also uses preservatives which
  triggers allergic reactions. Your baby might
  build up a rash or hives due to the allergy
  causing agents. Its always been an excellent
  idea to carry some wet washcloths while
  travelling.

  chemicals that can burn the skin of your child.
  Here burning is linked with burning sensation
  that itself is irritating. This happens
  especially when your child has sensitive skin. If
  your child has eczema issue, he/she will have
  immediate issue with such laundry detergents. In
  order to avoid this, make sure you only use a
  mild detergent which has got no perfumes and
  dyes. For better safety, wash your childs
  clothes twice before putting on the clothes. This

  Being a parent, it becomes very important to
  check what shampoo you are using on your childs
  hair. Some chemicals tend to bother scalps of
  your child and hence it should be watched
  carefully. Studies have found that certain
  ingredients are totally bad for children's
  health. They are- formaldehyde, phthalates and
  1,4 dioxane. The only way you can protect your
  baby from getting super sensitive with shampoos
  is to avoid anything that contains added flavours
  or fragrances. You can go with the natural
  formula without any chemicals or less chemicals.

Household Cleaners

• Household cleaners are also risky especially when
  you have no idea what's inside the product.
  Studies have shown that ingredients such as
  alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs) which are commonly
  found in detergents can cause hormonal disbalance
  in children. Hence these are very lethal for a
  child. If the brand contains ammonia, it will be
  very dangerous for kids as it tends to burn the
  skin and is also poisonous at the same time. If
  you want a cleaner room with no dangerous or
  harmful effect, always go with something that has
  more of a natural touch without any added
  chemicals. Vinegar and baking soda works just
  perfectly fine when it comes to cleaning- be it
  your room or just clothes.

  hope that it will protect our kids from poisonous
  insects but in reality your childs skin will be
  at risk for such act. No doubt that bug spray
  will help in keeping the insects away from your
  child, but the formula will burn the skin and
  will make them more sensitive to sunlight if they
  apply sunscreen. The American Academy of
  Pediatrics have warned parents to use bug spray
  which only contains 30 DEET. dont use any type
  of repellent creams or sprays if your baby is
  under 2 months.

  have a kid in your house. Your floor and carpet
  is a home to dust masters and it finds an easy
  way through child. Children love to play on the
  floor and hence they get in contact with the dust
  which will later be passed into their stomach as
  they tend to place fingers straight into their
  mouth. Make sure you have cleaned the floors and
  carpets before leaving your kids on it.

  some ingredients that wont suit your child. As
