It's not recommended to put undiluted rose water directly into a baby's eyes. Rose water is a natural product that may contain irritants or bacteria that could harm a baby's delicate eyes. To use rose water safely for a baby's eyes, dilute it with fresh water and apply it with a cotton ball.
Here's a breakdown of why:
- Safety first: A baby's eyes are extremely sensitive, and using undiluted rose water can cause irritation or even infection.
- Dilution is key: Diluting rose water with fresh water reduces the concentration of potential irritants and makes it safer for a baby's eyes.
- Gentle application: Using a cotton ball to apply diluted rose water allows for gentle application, minimizing any potential discomfort for the baby.
Always consult a pediatrician before using any home remedies, including diluted rose water, on a baby.
