Should parents avoid using certain perfumes or colognes while holding a baby?
Yes, it’s advisable for parents to avoid wearing strong perfumes or colognes while holding an infant. Babies have developing senses, and strong scents can be overwhelming or irritating to them. Infants’ respiratory systems are especially sensitive, and exposure to potent fragrances can cause discomfort or breathing issues. Additionally, perfume applied to areas like the neck, chest, or hands can transfer to the baby’s delicate skin through close contact, potentially causing irritation. Some fragrances also contain allergens that could provoke skin reactions. During the early months, fragrance-free or very light personal care products are often safest for parents and caregivers.
