Use products made for babies or toddlers when possible. Before using a new product, try a small patch on the child’s inner forearm and wait 24 hours to check for redness or rash. Apply to clean, unbroken skin only, avoid the eyes and mouth, and use the smallest amount needed. If a product label says it is not for young children or if the product is designed for adults, avoid using it on toddlers.
