Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Wood Pulp?
ℹ️General Overview
Wood pulp is a natural fiber used for absorbency and softness. For babies and newborns (0-6 months) it is generally very safe to touch to normal skin.
✅What to Do
Use products containing wood pulp as directed for diaper changes or gentle cleaning. If your baby has very sensitive skin, dab a clean spot on a small area and watch for 24 hours. Don’t apply to deep cuts or open sores without asking your pediatrician.
⚠️Warnings
Government safety assessments (Environment Canada) say wood pulp is not expected to be toxic or harmful and is a low health concern. Still, watch for signs of skin reaction—redness, swelling, rash, or blisters—and stop use if they appear. If your baby has trouble breathing, facial swelling, or a severe reaction, seek medical help right away.
