CHALK POWDER IS DANGEROUS TO BABIES

Love the smell of babies with powder in their bodies. But did you know that it can be harmful to them. Yes it is! It is because babies have a sensitive nasal system that any thing that can be inhaled can be dangerous to the baby's health. My friend who has a 7 month old baby was a victim of powder problem. it was his habit that after the baby takes a bath, he would immediately put powder on his baby's chest area and back and neck. For the reason of making the baby smell fresh and good. He thought that it was just normal for her baby to sneeze and cough. But his baby's case was different. According to his pediatrician, his baby was suffering nasal problem caused by powder. The doctor suggested instead of chalk powder, he should use liquid powder. It is more approciate to the baby and safe to use. After knowing that, he stopped using his baby powder and shifted to liquid powder for babies. It was just on time when he shifted because the nasal problem was not that serious yet. Liquid powder is best for babies!
