Is this toddler-safe to use Plantago Major?
ℹ️General Overview
Plantain is generally safe for toddlers (1-2 years). It’s a mild plant extract often used to soothe the skin. Most children will not have problems with it when used on the skin in normal baby or children’s products.
✅What to Do
Before regular use, do a small patch test on your child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Use products made for babies/toddlers, apply a small amount, and avoid the eyes and mouth. Do not apply to cuts or open sores. If your child has known plant or herb allergies, check with your pediatrician first.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, bumps, or any new itching after use — these are signs of an allergic reaction and you should stop use. If your child has trouble breathing, swelling of the face or tongue, or severe hives, seek emergency care. The public ingredient assessment we reviewed noted only low-level concerns for cancer, allergy and developmental effects, so these are not prominent risks at normal topical use, but we still recommend patch testing and avoiding use on broken skin.
