JAKARTA - Who doesn't like fragrant babies? So it's not uncommon for parents to give their babies with fragrances. However, is this allowed from the medical side?
Child specialist dr. Natia Anjasari, SpA from Brawijaya Hospital & Clinic, reminded parents to be careful giving products that stick to the baby's skin, even baby oil because it could trigger allergies like in a number of cases.
"The first packaging doesn't have to be mixed. It's okay to be creamed, that's just the folding of the thigh and buttocks. It can't be inserted (in the genitals), it can be a fungus," he said as quoted by ANTARA. Even if you are adamant about giving your baby a fragrance, try to get through one month of age. That's not directly to the skin.
"Wewangian put it on his shirt not on the skin. That too after one month of age," said Natia.
He also does not recommend using powder for all parts of the baby's body, let alone the genitals. It is better to sprinkle powder on a certain area of the leg or part, not the whole body, to minimize the risk of allergies to the baby's skin.
