Babies are individuals whose immune systems are still developing and therefore more vulnerable to diseases. Therefore, paying attention to babies' hygiene is of great importance for their healthy growth and development.

The Importance of Hygiene in Babies

The importance of hygiene in babies can be listed as follows:

It helps prevent diseases. Babies have a higher risk of contracting diseases because their immune systems are not yet fully developed. Babies who are cleaned regularly can more easily get rid of germs that accumulate on their skin and mucosa. This helps prevent diseases.
Protects skin health. Babies' skin is more sensitive than adults. Skin problems (nappy rash, eczema, etc.) are more common in babies who are not cleaned and moisturized regularly.
It makes them feel comfortable. Babies who are clean and well-groomed feel more comfortable and happy.
