"Besides respiratory risks, the use of talcum powder can also cause other health problems. The particles of powder that are inhaled not only irritate the respiratory tract but can also trigger allergic reactions or skin issues. In some cases, talcum powder that enters the lungs can cause pneumonia, a serious condition that requires intensive medical care."

Attila added that the baby's condition could worsen if there is a history of allergies from the parents. “If there are allergies, for example, the father has asthma and the mother is allergic to dust, then the little one will carry allergies at a rate of 70-80 percent,” he said. Babies with a history of allergies are more vulnerable to various triggers, including talcum powder particles. Even a small exposure to allergens can trigger quite severe reactions, including respiratory issues and skin rashes.

"Attila also reminded that a baby's skin is five times thinner than an adult's. Babies are still adapting to their environment, so parents or family members must be careful in choosing products used on a baby's skin. “In the future, it could be that if a baby's skin is sensitive, it might turn red,” added Attila."

"Education for parents regarding baby skin care is very important to ensure the health and comfort of the baby. Knowing which products are safe and how to use them can prevent many health problems that may arise from the use of unsuitable products."
