🆘 Did you know that there are many chemicals and disinfectants in our tap water, including chlorine, heavy metals, and fluoride? 😖
While it is common for most families to incorporate a bath into their baby’s daily wind-down routine, we don’t recommend bathing your newborn or infant every day, especially if they have eczema 🙅🏻♀️
How does this affect your baby’s sleep? 😴
Daily baths have the potential to dehydrate your baby’s skin and exacerbate conditions like eczema or dermatitis. In turn, this can affect your baby’s sleep due to increased itchiness, pain, or discomfort 😣
This is why we recommend investing in a shower or bath filter to remove the chemicals from your water, bathing your baby every 2-3 days, and dressing them in natural, breathable fabrics like GOTS certified organic cotton 🧵
Some bath and shower filter recommendations we love are:
🚿 Clear Choice Water (shower and* bath filters available)
🚿 @waterscofilters
🚿 @zazenalkalinewater
🚿 @wellverti
