1 Answer

A. Applying kajal (kohl) to a 3-month-old baby is generally not recommended by pediatricians and health experts for several reasons: ### Potential Risks: 1. **Infections**: The application of kajal can introduce bacteria or other contaminants to the baby's eyes, increasing the risk of eye infections. 2. **Irritation**: Babies have very sensitive skin, and the ingredients in kajal can cause irritation or allergic reactions. 3. **Contaminants**: Some traditional kajal products may contain harmful substances such as lead, which can be toxic, especially to infants. 4. **Accidental Ingestion**: Babies often rub their eyes and then put their hands in their mouths, potentially ingesting kajal. ### Recommendations: - It's best to avoid applying any cosmetic products, including kajal, to a baby’s eyes. - Focus on keeping your baby’s eyes clean and healthy by gently washing their face with plain water. If you have concerns about your baby's eye health or appearance, it's always best to consult with a pediatrician for safe and appropriate advice.
