In fact, this is not even unique to our species! Other mammal species, such as elephants, bears, orangutans, and penguins also care for their newborn babies in a very similar way to us humans. The one possible major difference between our ancestors and other mammals is that today, we have access to infinite information and digital accessibility, all thanks to our smartphones. Our generation is perhaps the most well-informed, aware and conscious generation of parents; every decision is made mindfully and only after conducting thorough research online. However, our parents and grandparents and their grandparents only depended on their elders for baby care tips, newborn baby care knowledge and parenting as a whole. These were traditional childcare secrets that were passed down through generations of women. There were no certified or clinically tested baby products in the market which parents could trust. Perhaps there were a few international and local brands that made newborn baby products such as baby massage oil, baby powder, or baby body wash, but usually, most family elders would advise newborn parents to refrain from using these products. Indian families have always advocated for a natural way of living, and would always suggest natural oils, natural shampoos, and natural moisturizers for their newborn babies. This was based on our thorough faith in ancient Indian customs, stemming from the influence of home remedies and homegrown local ingredients. Indian families trusted the flora and fauna of their community to feed them and heal them. Just like us. We at CITTA believe in the natural way of living, and that is why we have crafted our products with simple, local and Indian ingredients that we have heard of very often. We have seamlessly blended time-tested traditional ingredients with science to provide convenience to modern parents without compromising quality. We believe that while our reliance on natural products is absolutely correct, our traditional families may have gotten some facts wrong simply because information gets lost and misunderstood over generations. These incorrect pieces of information and baby care tips have created some common myths which need to be busted. So here are the top 9 common baby care tips, which you need to know the whole truth about: Bathing in milk will give your baby great skin: Unlike popular belief, milk is not a significant factor in having “great skin”. Skin texture is usually genetic, which means children of parents with good skin will most likely have good skin too. However, milk, especially breastmilk does help with hydrating very dry or sensitive skin. The best way to ensure your baby has soft and healthy skin is to use baby products which are gentle, chemical-free and provide adequate nourishment to the baby’s skin. Diapers cause rashes: Most traditional families and elders advise against the use of diapers based on their claim that diapers cause rashes. Diapers will not cause a rash if a parent uses them with care and caution. A diaper rash is commonly caused if a baby is wearing a soiled or wet diaper for too long, or if there has been no application of a good barrier on the baby’s skin. To avoid diaper rashes, parents must change diapers frequently (or as soon as they are soiled), use gentle cleaning wipes, use a good baby cream that forms a protective skin barrier and find diapers which are of good quality and not tight-fitting. Antiseptics must be used for infections: Antiseptics are products which are used for disinfection of surfaces and also used for topical application on the skin. These antiseptics are used to ensure there is no infection caused by leftover viruses or bacteria. However, there have been scientific studies giving evidence of certain toxic effects of antiseptics in children. Chemical disinfectants, sanitisers and antiseptics are made of certain chemicals which are harmful to infants and young children. Baths should be given every day: While you may think this is obviously a fact, many paediatricians now do not recommend daily baths for a newborn baby. It is now advisable to give a bath three to four times a week; although, it is crucial to clean other body parts regularly and multiple times a day. Areas such as the face, neck, and diaper area must be cleaned with a clean wet washcloth and a bath should be given with a gentle baby wash. Parents should also check the baby’s skin folds around the neck, thighs, and armpits, especially during hot and humid seasons to make sure no rashes or boils are present. Water is enough to clean the baby: This is true, especially for newborn babies, because just warm water is a good way to wash your baby without drying out their delicate skin. In fact, a baby should not even be bathed with water until the umbilical cord has fallen off. During this period, a sponge bath or bath using a wet washcloth is enough. All natural baby products are safe and gentle: This one is a big myth- no, all “natural” products are not always safe or gentle. Several brands use these words as part of their marketing strategy. A true natural product is one where every ingredient is made using raw materials from natural sources and meets all national manufacturing guidelines. To identify gentle baby products or safe baby care products, read the label and ingredient list carefully and be conscious of which ingredients are harmful, such as parabens, sulphates, added fragrances and other artificial colours. A crying baby may be crying due to hunger or a dirty diaper: While a baby does not cry only due to these two factors, a hungry baby and a baby with a wet or soiled diaper are definitely going to be crying, babies. A baby cries as a means to communicate with you, and they may be crying because they are hungry, in pain (colic), sleepy, overstimulated, sick, or just want to be held by a caregiver. Sunbathing makes a child stronger: Sunlight is a source of Vitamin D, which is crucial for a baby to grow and process calcium for stronger bones. However, newborn baby skin is very sensitive, and it can be harmful to expose them to direct sunlight due to the UVA and UVB rays. The American Academy of Pediatrics has released a guideline indicating that babies between 0-6 months should not be exposed to any sunlight directly at all. Parents are advised to discuss Vitamin D deficiency with their child’s medical caregiver. Moisturization is actually a great way to hydrate your baby’s delicate skin and prevent dry or rough skin! After bathing your baby, use a hydrating baby cream or good baby lotion. Additionally, use a natural oil or a doctor-recommended baby massage oil before a bath to help your baby’s soft skin stay healthy. Babies do not need moisturization: We hope these detailed pieces of information about newborn baby products, kids' skin care and baby care tips will allow you to discard our old myths and implement the correct ways to care for your baby’s skin and body. We would also advise all parents to seek medical advice and discuss all concerns with their trusted paediatrician instead of placing blind trust in people’s opinions (both online and offline). Parenting a newborn baby is not an easy task, and we are here to provide you with the most relevant and scientifically proven information to make your journey easier

Baby Eczema Vs. Baby Acne: Differences | Cause | Treatment
Table of Contents What is Baby Eczema? Causes of Baby Eczema Diagnosis and Treatment How is Baby Acne different from Eczema? Causes of Baby Acne Treatment for Baby Acne Vs Baby Eczema Key Differences between Baby Eczema and Baby Acne With an increasing amount of awareness about caring for a newborn baby, there is also an increasing amount of worry and confusion in parents who are consuming large amounts of parenting information and baby care tips on social media. There has also been a significant rise in the number of baby products in the market, making it more difficult for parents to identify the right baby products for their family. Which is the best moisturizer for kids? Is this truly a talc-free baby powder? Which is the best baby lotion for dry skin? How do I make the best choice from all of these baby creams? More choices have certainly led to more confusion. A key factor in parenting choices with baby products is understanding their baby’s skin and the possibility of any skin conditions such as eczema, acne, dry skin, skin rashes, etc. Let us understand what baby eczema and baby acne are, how they are different from each other, and why we need to know about these two baby skin conditions. What is Baby Eczema? Eczema in babies is a prevalent skin condition. Eczema, also known as dermatitis, presents with the symptoms of dryness and itching on the baby's skin. It also appears with red patches and baby rashes and is most common in children aged 6 months to 5 years. Baby eczema, unlike baby acne, can affect any part of the body. These eczema-related baby rashes cause itching, discomfort, dryness, and inflammation on the baby’s skin. Causes of Baby Eczema: Baby eczema is a genetic condition; if a parent has eczema, the child is likely to get it too. Scientists studying baby skin conditions are linking eczema to mutations in the KIF3A, FLG and CARD11 genes, making it an inherited condition (Source: Medical News Today). Several environmental factors may cause or trigger eczema in babies. Coming into contact with allergens can often trigger symptoms of baby eczema; these allergens may be dust, pet dander, and some types of foods like shellfish, nuts, etc. Certain types of soaps and detergents can also cause eczema skin rashes in babies, making their skin irritable and itchy. Diagnosis and Treatment: Eczema in babies can be diagnosed by your child’s doctor, who may physically examine the rashes or run further tests like an allergy test or a blood test to identify whether the rashes are eczema and what may be causing this eczema. The treatment of baby eczema is done using baby eczema creams and natural baby moisturizers, which work on the baby’s skin. Natural baby moisturizers like CITTA Baby Balm have the goodness of 8 natural oils, shea butter and vitamin E, that help fight extreme dry skin conditions. Natural oils such as coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, soybean oil, basil oil, turmeric oil and camphor oil are highly nourishing and moisturizing with their anti-microbial properties that fight against baby rashes, dryness and even extreme skin conditions like eczema, acne and skin peeling. Doctors may even prescribe topical steroid creams and oral medications that will help with the discomfort caused by these baby rashes. An important aspect of treating baby eczema is to avoid all the triggers that lead to more inflammation and irritation. How is Baby Acne different from Eczema? In contrast to baby eczema, baby acne can develop much earlier, even before the age of 3 months, where a baby’s face may have white pimples, red spots, bumps or even blackheads. These baby acne most tend to break out on a baby’s cheeks, forehead, scalp, and neck and will usually limit itself to the face. On the other hand, baby eczema usually develops around the baby’s knees, elbows, joints and face areas. Baby acne, unlike baby eczema, is not irritable or itchy. Causes of Baby Acne: Baby acne usually clears up by itself with any significant treatment. These acne are caused by certain hormonal changes in the mother during the pregnancy, where the placenta transfers some of these hormones to the baby’s skin, making it produce acne-causing sebum. This sebum clogs the pores on the skin, leading to the production of acne on the baby’s sensitive skin. This baby acne can be diagnosed by your child’s doctor fairly easily and does not require any special tests like in baby eczema. Treatment for Baby Acne Vs Baby Eczema: The treatment of baby eczema and baby acne are quite different. As the baby acne on the face and the baby rashes on the body differ in their cause and condition, parents need to treat them both differently. Baby acne treatment can be done without any prescription medicines or topical ointments. A doctor will recommend gentle cleaning, including gentle baby body wash, natural baby powders, chemical-free baby moisturizers and creams, and an overall sensitive skincare routine. The doctor may advise against infant massage in both skin conditions or may recommend some specific products that are suitable for use. As recommended by doctors, CITTA’s entire product range includes natural baby wash with the goodness of aloe vera, coconut, and rice protein; talc-free baby powder with oats and corn starch; and natural moisturizing baby balm with 8 natural oils such as coconut, turmeric, basil, etc. blended with shea butter and Vitamin E to help prevent rashes and baby acne while maintaining your baby’s skin health. Key Differences between Baby Eczema and Baby Acne Based on all the medical information available, here are the key differences between baby eczema and baby acne to bear in mind when you notice certain symptoms on your baby’s skin: Baby Eczema Baby Acne Appearance and location Baby eczema presents as irritable and itchy red rashes, dry and rough skin, and inflammation in the baby’s gentle and sensitive skin. Eczema in babies is most commonly found on the knees and elbows, joints and the face of the baby’s body. Baby acne, in contrast, is like usual adult acne, which consists of white pimples and red spots. Sometimes they may also appear as whiteheads or blackheads. Acne in babies is most commonly found on the baby’s cheeks and foreheads, and sometimes on the neck region. Causes and triggers Baby eczema is most commonly caused by a genetic predisposition, where if the parent(s) have eczema, the baby is also very likely to have it. Eczema in babies is also triggered by several allergens in the food, air and clothing the baby comes into contact with. It is also aggravated by weather changes, where excess heat and sweating may cause further inflammation. Winters and other seasonal changes may also cause excessive dryness in the baby’s skin, making baby care more challenging if the baby is predisposed to eczema. Baby acne is not a genetic condition. It is usually caused by a hormonal imbalance during the mother’s pregnancy, where the hormones are passed through the umbilical cord, leading to sebum production in the baby as well. This excessive sebum caused clogged pores and then acne on the baby’s sensitive newborn skin. Diagnosis: The diagnosis of both of these skin conditions is best done by a medical practitioner, who will physically examine the baby’s skin. To test for eczema in babies, a doctor may recommend allergy tests, blood tests and skin biopsies to make a certain diagnosis. Baby acne does not require such extensive testing. Treatment approaches To treat eczema in babies, a doctor will often recommend topical baby creams, steroid creams and oral medication to reduce the symptoms of baby eczema. For treating baby acne, a doctor will recommend the use of gentle baby care products and certain changes in chemical-free skincare routines. In both these skin conditions, it is important for a parent not to panic and to trust their doctor in the medical treatment. These are common baby skin conditions and usually resolve themselves by the age of 5 years.

Table of Contents: What is the Skin's pH? How Does pH Balance Affect Your Baby’s and Kid's Skin? What is the Ideal pH for Baby's and Kid's Skin? How to Maintain the Right pH Balance of a Baby’s & Kid's Skin? Why is it Important to Choose the Right Baby and kid Skincare Products with Skin-Friendly pH? CITTA’s Baby & Kids Bath and Skincare Products: The pH-Friendly Solution. Why Choose CITTA? The pH Balance - A Foundation for a Lifetime of Healthy Skin Have you ever pondered over the delicate balance of your newborn baby's or kid's skin? As parents, we're naturally concerned about providing the best care for our little ones. But did you know that a seemingly invisible factor, pH balance, can play a pivotal role in maintaining their skin's health? In this blog, we'll explore the impact of pH level on your child's skin, and why choosing skin and baby care products with the right pH is crucial for their skin's health and future well-being. What is the Skin's pH? pH, which stands for "potential of hydrogen," is a measure of acidity or alkalinity on a scale from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. Anything below 7 is acidic, and anything above is alkaline. The skin, our body's largest organ, has a protective acid mantle. This acid mantle is essentially a thin, slightly acidic film on the skin's surface, with a pH level typically ranging from 4.5 to 5.5. It acts as a shield, defending against harmful bacteria, environmental pollutants, and moisture loss. How Does pH Balance Affect Your Baby’s and Kid's Skin? Now, you might wonder: Why is pH balance so crucial for your child's skin? The answer lies in the skin's natural defenses. A balanced pH level helps maintain the integrity of the acid mantle, ensuring that your newborn baby's or kid's skin remains hydrated, resilient, and free from irritation. When the pH balance is disrupted, common skin issues like dryness, redness, itchiness, and even baby rashes can occur. Babies and children have more sensitive skin compared to adults, making them particularly susceptible to pH imbalances. What is the Ideal pH for Baby's and Kid's Skin? The ideal pH for your baby's or kid's skin falls within the mildly acidic range of 4.5 to 5.5. This pH range helps their skin function optimally, preventing issues like eczema, skin rashes baby, diaper rash, and other irritations. How to Maintain the Right pH Balance of a Baby’s & Kid's Skin? Maintaining the right pH balance of skin for your child involves gentle care and the use of pH-balanced skin and babycare products. Here are some essential tips: Choose the Right Products: Opt for baby and kid skin & babycare products specifically formulated to match the skin's pH. These products are designed to cleanse, moisturize, and protect without disrupting the delicate balance. Limit Bath Time: Excessive bathing can strip the skin of its natural oils, affecting its pH. Keep bath time short and use lukewarm water to avoid overdrying. Use pH balanced baby body wash and pH balance baby shampoo that are crafted with natural ingredients and are gentle on your child’s skin. Avoid Harsh Ingredients: Steer clear of skincare products containing harsh chemicals like sulphates, parabens, silicones, mineral oils, and talc, as these can disrupt the pH balance of skin. Regular Moisturizing: Apply a gentle, pH-balanced baby moisturizer to your child's skin after each bath to lock in moisture and maintain the acid mantle. Hydration: Ensure your child drinks enough water to stay hydrated, which can indirectly support skin health. Select Gentle Cleansers: Look for a gentle, natural baby body wash that won't disrupt the skin's pH balance. Why is it Important to Choose the Right Baby and kid Skincare Products with Skin-Friendly pH? Selecting the right skincare products for your child is not just a matter of choice but a necessity. Products with a skin-friendly pH offer numerous benefits: They maintain the skin's natural acid mantle, preventing issues like dryness and irritation. They provide a protective barrier against harmful microorganisms. They support healthy skin development, reducing the risk of long-term skin conditions. They minimize the chances of allergies or adverse reactions, making them suitable for sensitive skin.

Why You Should Use Paraben-Free and Sulphate-Free Baby Shampoo?
Table of Contents Understanding Sulphates and Parabens The Disadvantages of Using Sulphates and Parabens How They Damage Your Baby's Hair and Skin The Benefits of Using Sulfate-Free and Paraben-Free Kids Shampoo A Safe and Gentle Choice: CITTA Gentle Foaming Natural Baby Shampoo Benefits of using CITTA Gentle Foaming Natural Baby Shampoo Comfort for Your Baby Bathing your little bundle of joy is a special moment, a time for bonding and nurturing. As a parent, ensuring the well-being and health of your little one is undoubtedly your top priority. From selecting the softest blankets to the coziest onesies, every choice you make revolves around the safety and comfort of your baby. One area that parents often overlook is the choice of baby shampoo. You might wonder why the fuss over something as simple as shampoo. Well, the answer lies in the ingredients it contains. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of using paraben-free and sulphate-free baby shampoo. But why is this so crucial, and how can it benefit your baby's health and well-being? In this blog, we will explore what sulphates and parabens are, the potential harm they can cause, and why switching to a product like CITTA Natural baby shampoo can make all the difference in your baby's hair and scalp care routine. Understanding Sulphates and Parabens Before delving into the advantages of using sulphate-free and paraben-free baby shampoo, let's first understand what these substances are and why they can be harmful to your baby's hair and scalp. Sulfates, commonly labelled as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) or Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES) on product labels, are cleansing agents found in many personal care products. They create a rich lather that can be harsh on the skin and scalp. For a baby’s delicate skin, which is more susceptible to irritation, sulfates can cause baby dry skin, itching, and even exacerbate conditions like cradle cap. Sulphates can strip the hair and scalp of their natural oils, leaving them brittle and vulnerable, further causing hair loss. Parabens, on the other hand, are synthetic preservatives used to extend the shelf life of products. They often appear as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, or butylparaben on ingredient lists. It causes various health concerns, including skin irritation, and hormonal disruption and has even been detected in breast cancer tissue samples. These chemicals can easily penetrate the skin and are a concern, especially when used on babies’ sensitive skin. The Disadvantages of Using Sulphates and Parabens Using shampoos containing sulphates and parabens on your baby can lead to several disadvantages: Skin and Scalp Irritation Sulphates can cause skin and scalp irritation, leading to discomfort for your newborn baby. Parabens may also cause skin sensitivities. Dryness and Hair Damage The harsh nature of sulphates can strip away natural oils, leaving your baby's hair and scalp dry, leading to brittleness and baby hair fall. Hormonal Disruption Parabens are known to mimic estrogen in the body, potentially disrupting the delicate hormonal balance in developing infants. Eye Irritation Sulphates can irritate your baby's eyes during bath time, causing baby allergies, tears and discomfort. Allergic Reactions Babies have sensitive skin that is prone to allergies. Parabens and sulphates can trigger allergic reactions in babies and kids resulting in baby rashes, redness, or other skin issues. How They Damage Your Baby's Hair and Skin The use of sulphates and parabens in baby shampoos can have long-lasting effects on your child's hair and skin. These chemicals strip away natural moisture, leading to dryness and potentially causing issues such as cradle caps. Moreover, the disruption of the skin's pH balance can make it more susceptible to irritation and damage. The Benefits of Using Sulfate-Free and Paraben-Free Kids Shampoo Choosing a sulphate and paraben-free natural and herbal shampoo for your baby can make a world of difference in their overall health and well-being. Here's how: Gentle Cleansing Sulfate-free baby shampoo for dry scalp cleans effectively without stripping away the scalp's natural oils, keeping it hydrated and healthy.

Bath Time Bliss: How to Choose the Best Baby Body Wash
As a parent, one of the most heartwarming experiences is bathing your little one. The giggles, splashes, and sweet scent of a freshly cleaned baby create cherished memories. As parents, we want the best for our little ones, from their cosy blankets to their tiny socks. When it comes to bath time, choosing the best baby wash is a decision that impacts not just their cleanliness but also their delicate skin's health and comfort. The market is flooded with options, each claiming to be the ultimate choice for your baby's skin. But how do you navigate this sea of choices and find the perfect body wash for babies that is gentle, safe, and effective? Let us take you on a journey to discover the key factors that help you choose the best baby body wash for your precious bundle of joy. Table of Contents Understanding Your Baby's Skin What to look for Free from Harmful Chemicals pH-Balanced Formulas Allergen- Free Fragrance or Mildly Scented Natural Baby Wash Tear-Free Formula Dermatologist Recommended Read Reviews and Seek Recommendations Consult Your Pediatrician Choosing the Right Ingredients Aloe Vera Coconut Oil Glycerin Rice Protein Test and Observe CITTA’s Tender Foaming Baby Wash Understanding Your Baby's Skin Before we delve into the specifics of choosing the best baby body wash, it's essential to understand your baby's delicate skin. Unlike adult skin, a baby's skin is sensitive, thin, and prone to dryness and irritation. Their skin barrier is still developing, making it more susceptible to external factors. Due to these vulnerabilities, it's important to select a baby wash specially formulated for newborns, babies, and kids to cater to their unique skin needs. Here's what to look for: Free from Harmful Chemicals Read the ingredient label carefully. Avoid products that contain harsh chemicals such as sulfates, parabens, phthalates, silicones, mineral oils, and other potentially harmful chemicals. These ingredients can strip away the natural oils from your baby's skin, leaving it dry, irritated, and vulnerable to rashes. pH-Balanced Formulas Baby skin has a different pH level compared to adult skin. Choosing kids body wash with a pH-balanced formula helps maintain the natural acidity of your baby's skin, which acts as a protective barrier against bacteria and irritants. Allergen- Free Fragrance or Mildly Scented While strong floral-scented baby wash may seem tempting, it's essential to remember that these strong fragrances can irritate your baby's sensitive nose and skin, further causing allergies and rashes. Opt for natural, allergen-free fragrances or mildly scented options to ensure a gentle bathing experience. Natural Baby Wash If you prefer a more natural approach, consider body wash for babies made with natural ingredients like aloe vera, coconut oil, rice protein, etc. These products are free from synthetic chemicals and are gentler on your baby's skin. Tear-Free Formula Bath time can be an emotional rollercoaster for babies, and accidental splashes can lead to tears. Look for a tear-free formula that won't sting your baby's eyes if it comes into contact with them. This can make bath time a more pleasant experience for both you and your little one. Dermatologist Recommended Products that have been dermatologist-tested or recommended are often a safer choice for your baby's skin. These have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they meet the highest standards for baby skincare. Read Reviews and Seek Recommendations Reading online reviews and seeking recommendations from other parents can be incredibly helpful. Real-life experiences can provide valuable insights into which baby body washes have worked best for others. Consult Your Pediatrician When in doubt, don't hesitate to consult your paediatrician. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your baby's unique skin condition or allergies. Choosing the Right Ingredients Now that you understand what to avoid, let's focus on the ingredients you should look for in a baby body wash: Aloe Vera Aloe vera is renowned for its soothing properties. It can help calm irritated skin, prevent rashes, and provide gentle hydration. Coconut Oil Coconut Oil is a great addition to a body wash for kids and babies. It provides essential nourishment to your child’s skin, keeping it moisturized and soft even after a bath. Its antibacterial properties prevent bacterial growth on the skin, keeping it healthy and rash-free. Glycerin Glycerin is an excellent moisturizer that helps keep your baby's skin soft and supple. Rice Protein Rice Protein is an excellent natural anti-oxidant that cleanses effectively without irritating your baby’s skin. It soothes and moisturizes the skin, helping to lock in moisture and improve overall skin texture and comfort. Test and Observe After selecting a baby body wash that seems suitable for your little one, remember that each baby's skin is unique. Before committing to a specific product, perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of baby wash to a small area of your baby's skin and observe for any adverse reactions over the next 24 hours. CITTA’s Tender Foaming Baby Wash Formulated with gentle coconut oil-based cleansers, CITTA’s Natural Tender Foaming Baby Wash has an ideal pH for a baby’s delicate skin. Nourishing coconut oil, aloe vera, and hydrolyzed rice protein work together to effectively cleanse, hydrate, and soothe sensitive newborn skin.
