6-12 month old babies • Skin contact product
For babies aged 6–12 months (infants, older babies), buttermilk powder is generally low risk when put on the skin for most children. It comes from milk, so the biggest concern is if your baby has a milk-protein allergy.
If you want to try a product that contains buttermilk powder on a 6–12 month old: 1) Don’t use it if your baby has a diagnosed milk allergy. 2) Do a small patch test on a clean area (inner forearm or thigh) and wait 24 hours to check for redness, swelling, or rash. 3) Don’t apply it to broken, inflamed, or eczema‑affected skin. 4) Use only a small amount the first few times and stop immediately if you see irritation. 5) If your baby has eczema or known allergies, ask your pediatrician before use.
Watch for any redness, rash, swelling, or increased itching after applying — these signs mean stop use. If breathing difficulty, swelling of the face or lips, or other severe allergic signs occur, seek emergency care right away. These cautions come from the ingredient’s safety listing and the fact that it is a milk-derived product, which can trigger reactions in children with milk-protein allergy.
