Baby powder is used to prevent baby's skin from being irritated, still feeling soft, and scented. But unfortunately behind all that kindness, baby powder keeps the risk of health problems, so it can be dangerous.

Some baby powder contains talc. This content is quite dangerous if inhaled too often or too much because it can cause damage to the lungs and respiratory problems.

If a baby is born prematurely and has a high risk of breathing problems, the talc content of baby powder can potentially harm the health of the lungs, even if only slightly inhaled.

Side Effects of Baby Powder
If you are not careful about using baby powder for your baby, the side effects that can arise are as follows:

• On the eyes and throat
  In the eyes, baby powder can provide side effects such as irritation of the eyes and throat.
• In the lungs
  Notice how you give baby powder because it can cause interference with the lungs of the baby, such as coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and wheezing.
• On the heart and blood
  This baby's powder effect can also affect the heart and blood of the child resulting in symptoms such as low blood pressure (hypotension), fainting, and seizures.
• On the nervous system
  If it invades the nervous system, there may be a twitch in the facial, hand, or foot muscles, and sometimes with fever, the baby looks sleepy, and becomes lethargic or less active.
• On the skin
  In the skin, baby powder can cause side effects such as blisters and blue-blue on the skin, nail, or lips.

Side effects of this baby powder usually appear if the powder is inhaled in the long term or in large quantities. The first thing you can do if your baby accidentally inhale baby powder is to take him out of the room so he can breathe fresh air. If her condition still does not improve, immediately consult her doctor.

How to Minimize Baby Powder Side Effects

In order to avoid possible side effects, you should take precautions to minimize the risk. Here are some ways you can do:

• Pay close attention to the content contained in your baby's powder. Use talc-free baby powder.
• Minimize skin irritation by avoiding powder accumulating on the folds of your baby's skin. One way is to clean up the remaining powder when changing diapers or changing baby clothes.
• At the time of using powder, place the powder on your hands first and keep it away from your baby. Only then stretch to his body.
