My testimony
What a joy to touch and sniff babies' skin! We don't always know how to refresh and give a little cleanliness to this soft and delicate skin. We are sometimes afraid of irritating it, with water that is often too hard and drying or soaps that are rather useless. So, when my sisters each had their babies, I was happy to bring them a few bottles of hydrosol. They were won over and did not use anything else to refresh the face, buttocks and hands of their little treasure. Hydrosols here are a perfectly harmless solution for their delicate skin, and they provide a very pleasant smell which, to avoid spoiling anything, can be chosen according to the mood and olfactory desire of the parent!
My tip
To clean the face or buttocks of little ones, hydrosols of chamomile, orange blossom, rose, lemon balm, lavender among others are very suitable. The advantage of Roman chamomile hydrosol is that it can be used for a lot of other little baby problems.
I recommend using Roman chamomile hydrosol on washable wipes to clean the face, as well as to clean after peeing. For stools, it is sometimes easier to first clean with water with a washcloth and finish with hydrosol. If the skin is a little dry, you can prepare a very simple mixture in a 60 ml spray bottle with 40 ml of Roman chamomile hydrosol and 5 ml of calendula oil. You shake well before spraying on the wipe and applying it to the skin.
Roman chamomile hydrosol can be applied to all skin irritations. For teething, I recommend spraying Roman chamomile hydrosol directly into the mouth (you can also massage the gums), and adding 1 teaspoon to the bottle. This internal dosage is also recommended for difficulty falling asleep and spasms.

Its name comes from Greek and is explained by the fact that chamomile grows close to the ground (chamos) and that the fragrance of its just opened flowers is reminiscent of that of the apple (melos). Bitter tonic, Roman chamomile is described in herbal medicine as a plant which facilitates digestion and calms intestinal spasms.
