Can older babies use Apple Cider Vinegar?
âšī¸General Overview
For infants 6â12 months (babies, young infants), apple cider vinegar is not linked to cancer or long-term harm in safety listings, but because it is acidic it can sting, dry, or irritate baby skin. It is generally low risk for long-term toxicity, but still can cause uncomfortable skin reactions.
â What to Do
If you choose to use it, dilute well (for example, one part vinegar to at least 10 parts water). Do a small patch test on a thigh or inner arm and wait 24 hours. Use only occasionally and in small amounts, avoid the face, eyes, mouth, and diaper area, and never apply to broken or inflamed skin. Rinse immediately if the baby cries, pulls away, or shows redness.
â ī¸Warnings
Avoid using undiluted apple cider vinegar on baby skin and do not put it near the eyes or on broken skin. Stop use and rinse with water if you see redness, stinging, blistering, or swelling. The ingredient's safety listing notes low concern for cancer, allergies, and developmental or reproductive effects, so the main issue to watch for is local skin irritation. If a reaction is severe or does not improve, contact your pediatrician.
