I mean, sure, it's amazing to have your baby smell good, especially after many things that babies do :)

 

However, it turns out that the answer is a resounding, "Yes!" there are real, scientifically-based benefits of using baby cologne in your routine when taking care of a newborn or toddler.

 

Here are three of our favorites!

 

1. Developing Their Smelling System:👃 Babies’ sense of smell helps in emotional bonding, memory formation, and awareness. Pleasant, mild fragrances like found in our own cologne Afeto can stimulate the baby’s "olfactory" (i.e. smelling) senses, enhancing their sensory development. Positive smells can create soothing, calming effects and even contribute to forming happy associations in their brain.

2. Bonding and Emotional Connection: 😊 Smell is closely linked to emotional experiences and memory. When parents use a baby cologne, the subtle, gentle scent can become associated with their presence, love, and comfort, reinforcing the bonds between parent and baby. Familiar, pleasant smells can help babies feel more secure, reducing anxiety and stress.

3. Relaxation and Improved Sleep: 😴 Certain natural fragrances, have been shown to have calming and relaxing properties. These scents can help reduce restlessness, promote a calming atmosphere, and improve the baby's sleep quality, making it easier for them to settle down before naps or bedtime.
