When babies are young, they tend to drool or have food residue hanging around their mouths after eating. Many parents choose to use tissues to wipe their babies' mouths at this time. Many people have raised objections to this and do not know if using tissues to wipe their mouths will cause harm to babies. So, what are the hazards of babies using tissues to wipe their mouths?
Many tissue manufacturers are small workshops without formal hygiene permits. The raw materials for tissue may be recycled paper, which is made from waste paper. If these inferior papers are turned into tissue, it is easy to wipe the large amount of bleach, whitening agents, and other toxic and harmful substances and bacteria left in the paper onto the baby's mouth, and then eat it. Long term use of this tissue to wipe the mouth can easily cause diseases.
1. Fungi, Escherichia coli, and other harmful substances may remain on tissues, which can lead to diseases such as enteritis, dysentery, and in severe cases, hepatitis;
2. Whitening powder in tissues, when used in large quantities, can enter the baby's respiratory tract with dust, causing respiratory diseases;
3. Stimulating the baby's skin can lead to rough skin, and in severe cases, it can cause skin allergies.
So when wiping the baby's mouth, it is best to use cotton face towels or handkerchiefs. If tissue is necessary, be sure to purchase high-quality tissue from a regular supermarket. Do not directly use cheap tissue to wipe the baby's mouth for the sake of cheapness or convenience.
