"Dream - The use of talcum powder on babies is no longer recommended. Powder particles can enter the lungs and interfere with the baby's breathing."
“It is not allowed, it is no longer permitted (to use talcum powder). There is research that shows if a newborn is dusted with powder, it can be inhaled and enter the lungs. Perhaps there wasn't any research on this before, but now it should not be given anymore,” said pediatric specialist consultant, Attila Dewanti Poerboyo, quoted from Liputan6.com.
Attila explains that talcum powder consists of small particles that easily fly in the air, making the powder easy to spread and enter the baby's respiratory tract, especially when the baby cries or opens their mouth.
The translation of "Risiko Kesehatan dari Penggunaan Bedak Tabur" to English is "Health Risks of Using Talcum Powder".
"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."
The translation of "Jika Bayi Punya Alergi" to English is "If the Baby Has Allergies."
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.
The translation of "Kulit Bayi Lebih Tipis" to English is "Baby Skin is Thinner."
"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."
"Choose Clinically Tested Products for Babies"
"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."
"So choose baby products that have been dermatologically tested and are suitable for the baby's condition. Especially if they are newborn, those (products) must be specifically for newborns,\u201d"
