How to choose a scarf for your baby The scarf will come into direct contact with the baby’s skin, so the mother should pay special attention to the fabric, color, size, etc. when picking a child’s scarf: 1. Choose natural materials When picking a scarf, read the label instructions, including company information, material type, as well as the washing method and material ratio. Do not choose chemical fiber, blends and other scarves containing chemical elements on the high side, so as not to cause discomfort to the baby. In particular, chemical fiber fabrics contain many additives that can easily cause eczema. 2. Avoid too bright Some dyes contain high levels of aniline compounds, which are easy to decolorize and lose color, and can easily cause baby allergies and even the risk of cancer.
