Product Buying Strategy
There are thousands of baby products in the market. For a single product, you will find different manufacturers creating it and different brands promoting it. Some even sell replicas of branded products. All of this can add to the confusion of what makes baby products safe.
So, instead of buying products randomly, you can consider the below-mentioned factors to choose a healthy product.
Discuss With Your Paediatrician
One thing you can do is have open communication with the paediatrician. As they have several years of experience, they will guide you effectively. They can suggest some ideal products which are not harmful to your baby.
Know About Common Toxins
Do some research about common toxins and take some notes from the doctor. The doctor will reveal some toxins which should not be present in products. So, while buying any product, you can check the ingredients or chemicals. If the toxins are found, then choose an alternative option.
Baby Designed Products
There is a massive difference between babies' and adults' products. So, give preference to those products which are specially designed for babies. For example, the skin of the baby is soft and delicate than adults. So, choose those products which are custom designed for babies only.
Consider these factors while purchasing healthy products for your baby. However, among all these factors, the first one is quite essential. A paediatrician will guide you in the direction that is best for the baby’s health.
Types of Baby Products
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, the market has countless options for baby products. Some products are branded, some products are cheap, some products are available in malls and other are available in the grocery store at an affordable cost. So how do you choose which product is best for your baby?
So, here we present to you a list of baby products and the best practices for buying them. This will make your decision making easier.
Diapers
Consider those diapers which are known for their high absorption qualities. All you need to do is prioritize those diapers that keep your baby's skin smooth and free from rashes. Also, consider only those diapers which are friendly to your child's sensitive bottom.
There are several prominent brands in the market. Check for the reviews of their products online before buying. Another option would be to try different varieties of good quality brands and see, which one your baby loves the most. If the baby gets cranky wearing it, then discard it. If the baby is happy and comfortable then continue it.
Baby Bottles
Right from cups to bottles, you will have plenty of options. However, not all the bottles are chemical-free. Some would be cheap but made of plastic. You can prefer those bottles which are made from silicone and glass. Make sure that the bottles are free from harmful chemicals. These can be BPA, PVC, and so on.
Everyday Baby has a wide range of baby bottles that are made of glass and covered with silicone.
The thin layer of silicone provides a great grip and prevents it from making a mess on the floor if the glass bottle breaks. This means that you can dispose of the broken baby bottle easily and there is no massive clean-up needed.
The bottles don’t leave a smell behind that can leave your baby feeling nauseous.
Additionally, we have a collection that is temperature sensing. So, you can leave them sitting on a table to cool down and wait for the colour to change before feeding your baby.
Lounger
To give proper and appropriate sleep to your baby, you can choose a lounger. It is an ideal option for travelling. Your baby will not be disturbed while sleeping. Make sure that the cover and the layers of the lounger are washable so that you can clean them regularly.
Keeping the loungers unwashed for long durations can expose babies to allergens, which is not good for their health. Also, ensure that your baby is not left in the lounger unsupervised.
All-purpose balm
The balm is helpful in the moisture of your baby's skin. You can apply this balm to rough elbows, cuticles, and so on. Choose the natural baby balm for your baby, which is free from all the chemicals.
Prefer to buy organic all-purpose balms. Try a new balm first on the baby’s arm to see if it affects the baby’s skin and if it doesn’t, only then continue to use it on other parts of the body.
Natural Baby Wash
With the help of an ideal baby wash, you can preserve the moisture in your baby skin. Choose that baby wash that consists of nourishing ingredients and has no chemicals. Prefer to buy an all-natural, organic baby wash.
Please ensure that the baby wash that does not create any itching in your baby's eyes. If it does then immediately stop using it and try another one.
Baby Soothing oil
Purchase the best oil for your baby for massaging. For example, you can consider those oils that have Vitamin E, coconut oil, etc. In other words, you should know the oil that you are massaging for your baby with.
Every oil has different advantages associated with it. Choose the one that will be best for your baby. Also, ensure that the oil contains no chemicals.
Mini Mat
Once your kid starts eating, then there are chances that he or she will spill more and eat less. It is not possible to clean the floor all the time. So, to reduce the mess, you can purchase a mat for your baby.
Keep it on the table and place the food. Just ensure that the mat does not have fibres that are released in the air easily. This will lead to your baby getting allergies from it. Choose a washable cloth mat.
Baby Wrap
It is also another product that you can use to keep your baby close to you. For instance, if your baby is crying on the bed and you are cleaning or working, you can use the baby wrap.
The baby will be happy to be near you and you won’t have to worry about it moving.
