Keep away from pets, due to zinc oxide.

Safety for baby baths

• NHS has a good 2-minute video by a midwife, on how to safely bathe babies. Never leave babies alone for a second (even with older children).
• Do not use baby bath seats, these can quickly detach and drown babies, even in a few centimetres of water.
• Run cold water first (then add hot water, testing with your wrist or elbow). Keep your baby’s head clear of water.
• Don’t bathe straight after feeds, or if hungry or tired. Avoid baby oils in baths, due to risk of slipping.
• Avoid talcum powder, it’s linked to ovarian cancer and increasingly banned in many countries. Don’t use cotton buds to clean baby’s ears (the cause of nearly all infections).
