Caring for a baby is a rewarding yet challenging experience. To ensure that your baby is safe, comfortable and well-nourished, it is important to have all the essentials you need for your baby on hand. This includes items for feeding, sleeping, hygiene, and comfort. Having these items readily available can help make your life as a new parent a bit easier and less stressful.
However, what most new parents tend to overlook is the care protection bundle which is equally important for baby care. Read on to know more about the three products you must have in your baby’s care protection bundle.
Babies need a whole lot of things; from diaper rash cream, diapers and wipes to baby cream, baby oil, shampoo and baby wash. But you also need a care protection bundle to keep your baby safe.
This bundle helps to keep your baby safe from diseases caused by mosquito bites and issues like cold and stuffy noses which babies are prone to. All of them are easy to use and do not harm the baby’s skin since they contain zero chemicals and toxins.
To protect babies from mosquitoes and mosquito-borne illnesses, like Dengue, Chikungunya and Malaria, it’s important to take some preventive measures. Besides keeping babies indoors or covering their strollers with mosquito netting during peak mosquito hours, usually, dusk and dawn, you need to protect them with a natural mosquito repellent that’s safe for babies.
It’s not advisable to use mosquito repellent that contains DEET on babies. Choose one that is made with 100% natural and organic actives like lemongrass and contains citronella oil which is known for its powerful mosquito-repelling properties. Tulsi is another natural mosquito repellent with antimicrobial properties, that you should look for while choosing a mosquito repellent spray for your little one.
A natural mosquito repellent patch is another great product to add to your care protection bundle especially if you have a newborn as it is not only highly effective but also easy to use.
You need to simply open the pouch, peel off the back sticker and stick the patch in your baby’s surroundings or on their clothing and let it do its magic! Toddlers or older kids can use them as badges because of their fun and cute design.
Caring for a baby with a cold and stuffy nose can be tiring as babies tend to be fussy and uncomfortable. it is important to keep them comfortable and hydrated. Frequent feedings of breast milk or formula help to keep them hydrated.
Using a natural vapour patch can help alleviate stuffiness. These vapour patches are very easy to use unlike nasal sprays and highly effective in clearing congestion. Choose one that contains ingredients like Eucalyptus Oil as it soothes headaches and has antiviral and antimicrobial properties and Peppermint Oil which is a natural decongestant and fever-reducer.
Keeping babies safe from diseases requires a combination of preventive measures, proper hygiene, and tender loving care. By keeping the baby comfortable, hydrated, and protected from mosquitoes and other sources of illness, parents and caregivers can help ensure the health and well-being of the baby.
