Almost all those who have been mothers will have received a gift basket with products for the care of the newborn and the mother.
It usually brings samples of pacifiers, diapers, wipes as well as some cleaning supplies or baby cream.
Several types of cases with different names and contents are delivered.
In the "Chiquitín" baskets, delivered free of charge to future moms in health centers, family planning centers and childbirth preparation centers in Madrid and Barcelona during the months of May and June a dangerous product is found.
It is a soap gel intimate hygiene for women. It is not that the product is dangerous in itself, but that the packaging is very similar to that of the ampoules of the physiological serum and can be confused.
In fact, this has happened to the mothers of three babies who used the gel as if it were a physiological solution by placing it on their nose and eyes.
They caused serious damage and needed medical attention, even one had to be admitted to the ICU, although his condition is good.
Although the basket has been removed from the centers where it was distributed, be very careful if you still have the basket at home.
The fact is that the news alerts us mothers and fathers to identify well what products in the basket are for the care of the mother and which are for the baby.
Or I propose a better solution: that there is a basket for the newborn and another for the mother.
