Question
How should new baby clothes be washed to avoid irritating the baby’s skin?
Answer
Baby clothing should be washed without using detergents containing chemical ingredients, as they may cause irritation to the baby’s skin. Additionally, it is not recommended to use a washing machine for cleaning, as it may leave bacteria from adult clothes, which is harmful to the baby’s health. Hand washing is a better option, and it is important to use gentle, natural detergents. Before washing, read the ingredient label on the detergent to ensure it is safe for the baby. After washing, thoroughly rinse the clothes until there are no suds left from the detergent. When drying the clothes, it is best to choose a sunny spot to kill bacteria. For children with weaker resistance, parents should take their child to the hospital for a check-up and treatment promptly, and follow the doctor’s advice on medication.
