subject: Consumers- Be Cautious [print this page] Many cases of skin infections on children are reporting daily due to the usage of baby soaps manufactured by different brands. So if possible one can try herbal products like turmeric powder, green gram powder for their babies as these products are always safe. But since all the parents are leading a very fast life in this generation, they will opt for only the readymade products as they have no other option. Never buy any baby product from any shop on the compulsion from the sales men or the shopkeeper, as they will only try to sell their products. They may not be bothered about the health of your children. I had a similar experience when I bought a baby soap for my three year old daughter as a salesman in a shop compelled me to buy it. But after using that soap, my baby had severe skin infection. Her condition was so worse that she had to undergo treatment for more than two weeks to get it cured. When you buy any product for the baby always make sure that it is manufactured by a very good brand. Also you should compromise on cost if you really want good product for your baby. The major manufacturers of baby soaps are Johnson and Johnson Ltd and Wipro. It is advisable to take the opinion of a pediatrician for choosing an apt baby soap. Let us consider it as a prime responsibility of each parent to put an extra effort and spend little more time to make our children healthy as at our old age they are going to be our walking sticks and weaker sticks cannot hold us.
