Can older babies use Wood Pulp?
ℹ️General Overview
For babies 6–12 months (infants, little ones, toddlers-in-training), wood pulp is generally safe and gentle on the skin. It is often used in baby wipes for softness and absorbency and is not expected to be harmful.
✅What to Do
Choose products made for babies and labeled for sensitive skin when possible. Prefer fragrance-free wipes. Before widespread use, do a quick patch test on the inside of the baby’s arm or thigh and wait 24 hours to check for redness or irritation. Use on intact skin only and follow product instructions.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for any signs of skin irritation or allergic reaction (redness, rash, swelling). If that happens, stop using the product and talk to your pediatrician. Regulatory reviews (Environment Canada) list wood pulp as not expected to be toxic, but processed pulp can be treated or combined with other ingredients—check the full product label for fragrances, preservatives, or bleaching agents and avoid those that bother your child.
