Compresses, like cotton pads, are one of the essential items in your baby's toiletries bag. Very practical, they can be used in a variety of situations.
In the period immediately after birth, compresses are useful for cleaning baby's umbilical cord with lukewarm water and soap. You can also use a compress to apply cleansing lotion and to gently clean the face and body of your child. Orgakiddy offer a pack of 100 cotton pads. Made from non-woven fabric, they are resistant and do not malt. Gilbert also offer baby cotton pads, which are suitable for washing baby and during changes.
Soaked with physiological serum, sterile compresses are also practical for the eyes. To be used from the outside to the inside of the eye, they eliminate secretions and crustiness.
In short, save a space for sterile compresses in your baby's hygiene kit, next to the liniment and moisturiser, and you'll find that you use them everyday!
