3.Baby Wipes or Washcloths?
Disposable baby wipes certainly have a job to do, but they may contain alcohol and any number of fragrances that cause skin irritation. Some wipes also have preservatives that can trigger allergic contact dermatitis — a rash or hives from contact with an allergy-causing substance. Instead, use wet washcloths. When you’re traveling, keep wet washcloths in a resealable sandwich bag.
4.Laundry Detergent and Rashes
The chemicals in some laundry detergents may trigger irritant contact dermatitis — a rash from touching something that irritates the skin. It is more common in kids who have eczema. To help prevent it, use a mild detergent without added perfumes and dyes. In addition, make sure to rinse all your child’s clothes, bedding, and towels at least twice in order to remove detergent residue.
