In a recent Instagram post, Aproko Doctor, renowned for his health advocacy, issued a crucial warning to parents regarding the care of newborn babies.
He emphasized the importance of keeping camphor and dusting powder away from infants, citing potential health risks associated with their use.
Aproko Doctor highlighted that while camphor is commonly used to repel insects, its inhalation can be harmful and toxic to a newborn’s delicate respiratory system. Similarly, dusting powder, often applied to prevent diaper rash or keep the baby’s skin dry, may pose risks if inhaled or ingested by the infant.
The medical expert urged parents to exercise caution and be mindful of the products they introduce to their baby’s environment, prioritizing their safety and well-being.
