1 / Should use baby powder?
Most of the baby chalks on the market today are approved for safety by the FDA. However, mothers should still read the instructions carefully before using. Mother should not use a large amount of the baby's skin at the same time, because it can increase the risk of skin allergies, even blistering if the baby is allergic to chemicals in the product.
In addition, the risk of baby's inhalation of baby powder is also a concern of mothers. Over time, the amount of powder the baby inhales will accumulate in the lungs and cause damage.

If you want to care for your baby's skin, it is best to choose mild soaps with as little chemicals as possible and limit direct contact with baby's sensitive skin.
