What if talcum powder is inhaled into the lungs? The research results of human lung defense function show that only dust and particles with a diameter below 5μm can be inhaled into the alveoli of infants, and long-term deposition will cause respiratory system damage similar to silicosis. However, the production standard of baby powder strictly stipulates that the particle diameter of talcum powder must be greater than 5μm, which avoids the possibility that talcum powder is inhaled into the lungs and causes lung diseases. Therefore, talcum powder will not cause lung disease even if it is inhaled by the baby. Mothers can rest assured, but mothers should also pay attention to try not to let their babies inhale talcum powder. After all, talcum powder is not a beneficial thing, and inhalation does no harm. In addition, after the baby inhales talcum powder, the mother should pay close attention to whether the baby is abnormal, and if so, seek medical attention immediately.
There are four kinds of talcum powder visible in the baby market: talcum powder with essence, corn powder with essence, pine pollen and pearl powder. Talcum powder is very important for baby's daily skin comfort, but many mothers don't know much about it, or have such concerns, or often use it incorrectly. For safety reasons, mother had better not give baby talcum powder. Moreover, it should be used correctly. When sprinkling talcum powder on the baby, it should be done after drying the body after bathing. The amount of powder should not be too much, and it should not be accumulated on the skin. Similar to the principle of applying general skin cream, it should be evenly and thinly applied to the skin surface.
There are three kinds of baby powder: talcum powder, corn powder and pine pollen.
At present, talcum powder as the main raw material is the mainstream product, which is economical and practical. The main brands are Johnson & Johnson and Beiqin.
The biggest feature of talcum powder with corn flour as the main raw material is that the raw material is safe and harmless, but the price is relatively expensive. The main brands are Xiduo and Heguangtang in Japan. Corn talcum powder is made of pure natural corn starch, which generally has no fragrance and will not cause allergic problems because droplets enter the baby's nose and eyes.
Pine pollen is a new generation of talcum powder, but the medicinal and edible history of pine pollen has been circulated for thousands of years. Pine pollen is natural and harmless, and has a good effect on baby's red buttocks and eczema. The main brand is domestic Songda.
In addition, there are liquid talcum powder for babies on the market at present, such as the liquid talcum powder of Yayang. The raw materials are healthy, easy to use, and there will be no tiny dust flying to the baby's nose and mouth, which is safer, but expensive. When mom buys talcum powder, she should not only pay attention to the main ingredients of talcum powder, but also pay attention to additives, such as red lead talcum powder, which is actually a mixture of red lead and talcum powder; In addition, pay attention to whether other spices added to talcum powder will cause baby allergies.
