Vitamin & Mineral Supplements
Is a vitamin and mineral supplement essential for my little one?
If your little one has begun to eat a varied diet (formula milk/ breastmilk, cereals,
fruit & vegetables) and is putting on weight and is healthy, there is no need to
give him/her a supplement. If he/she has been ill, or as a result of teething, is
eating poorly, then a vitamin and mineral supplement is recommended. The supplement
will help to ensure that your little one’s immune system can fight off bacteria
or viruses in his/her environment.
Are there any differences among the various multivitamin preparations
for babies and toddlers? How should I choose?
There are differences in the levels of vitamins and minerals in different commercial
multivitamin products. For this reason, it is important to choose a multivitamin
product from a reputable company. If you are in doubt about the quality of the product,
talk to your healthcare professional.
It is also important once you have decided to give your baby a vitamin syrup or
emulsion as a supplement; that you do not add more vitamins in another form e.g.
tablets, drops etc as you may overdose which may be dangerous particularly with
fat-soluble vitamins such as Vitamin A and E.
It is advised to check the list of vitamins and minerals for recommended dosages
given in percentage of the Recommended Daily Amount (RDA). So, if the Vitamin A
in your chosen product provides 40% of the RDA; do not give more than 2 servings
per day. This is important as baby’s/ toddler’s diet will also contribute vitamins
and minerals to the total for the day! If you are unsure whether you are giving
too many multivitamins, please consult your healthcare professional.

Skin Soothing
Cuts and Grazes
In older babies and toddlers most cuts and grazes are minor and will not need medical attention.
Probably the most important first aid that you should remember is to wash your hands properly
before treating your toddler’s minor cut/grazed skin.
If the cut is not bleeding badly, clean the wound under running tap water. Pat the area dry with
a clean towel and apply Purity Pedia Kids Antiseptic Spray.
If the graze is bleeding heavily you need to stop the bleeding before applying the dressing. Apply
pressure gently to the area with a bandage or towel. If the cut is to the hand or arm, raise it
above the toddler’s head; if to the leg, get him/her to lie down and raise the affected area above
the level of the heart so bleeding slows down and stops.
If the toddler has been cut on a rusty object or accidentally grazed by your dog’s teeth, it is
important that you go to the clinic/pharmacy as a tetanus injection and special sterilization of
the wound may be required.
Keep the dressing clean by changing as frequently as needed.

Bumps and Bruises
Crawling and experimenting with new environments are sure to lead to bumps and bruises in
the older infant and toddler. Most bumps and bruises are not serious. A bruise is in fact ‘a cut
under the skin’ in the soft tissue below the skin surface.
If your toddler falls and bumps himself; take particular note of injury to the head or back of the
head. Falling backwards and banging the base of the head can be dangerous. If your child is
nauseous, vomits or is listless within 48 hours after the incident, take her to the doctor straight
away. If there is any bruising behind the ear or you are concerned about a possible fracture,
then seek medical help at your local doctor or clinic.
In cases of minor bumps, a cold compression (ice in a cloth) can help to reduce the bruising. But
many toddlers will need to be distracted while you do this (hold him/her, sing a favourite tune
or give him/her a suitable treat).
Purity Pedia Kids Arnica Gel is specially developed to help
reduce bruising.
If you feel your toddler bruises too easily and more than his friends, a visit to the healthcare
professional can be reassuring and important.
What are the main benefits of the ingredients in the Purity Pedia Kids Arnica Gel?

What is cradle cap?
Cradle cap is a skin condition which affects babies. It is a temporary condition which is harmless
and in most cases, settles down over time. It takes the form of a scaly rash which appears on the
baby’s scalp.
Does it only affect babies?
Cradle cap is a form of seborrhoeic dermatitis which develops in babies, usually just after they
are born. It is mainly confined to the scalp but sometimes appears behind the ears or on the
eyebrows. Consult your healthcare professional for diagnoses if you are not sure.
What are the signs of cradle cap?
This appears as greasy, white or yellowish patches of dry skin. These patches are often crusty and
may also be inflamed.
Is cradle cap contagious?
No. Parents do ask if cradle cap is infectious, especially if they have more than one child. But you
will be relieved to know that it cannot be passed from one child to another.
What causes cradle cap?
There is not a precise cause of cradle cap: there are, in fact, several causes of cradle cap which
include an over-production of oil in the baby’s skin. This is due to the presence of the mother’s
hormones which can cause this excess production. An over-production of oil or sebum causes
the skin to become sticky which enables dead skin cells to adhere to it. This results in a buildup
of cells and oil which cause cradle cap.
Does the Purity Pedia Kids Cradle Cap cream contain any ingredients that can exacerbate my
little one’s condition?
No, Purity Pedia Kids Cradle Cap Cream is free from alcohol, perfumes and colours which could
possibly exacerbate your little one’s cradle cap condition.

Almond Oil: Is known to soothe skin irritation and inflammation and is also known
to relieve dry and itching skin
as well as nourishing and making the skin smooth and soft.
Calendula: Has soothing and softening qualities and is also known to have antiseptic properties.
Jojoba Oil: Is known to promote healing of the skin in many ways; likely due to its
antimicrobial properties,
which means it actually discourages the growth of some bacterial and
fungal microbes that attack
the skin. In addition, the chemical composition of jojoba closely
resembles that of the skin’s natural
sebum, so it is easily absorbed and rarely causes allergic
reactions, even in the most sensitive
individuals.
Vitamin E Oil: When applied on the skin, it acts as an antioxidant which prevents the
formation of free radicals on
the skin and protects it from any kind of damage. It is also known
to have anti-inflammatory
properties.
How should I use the Purity Pedia Kids Cradle Cap Cream?
You should massage onto the affected areas of baby’s scalp 2 to 3 times a day.
Where should I store my Cradle Cap Cream?
You should store your cream below 25°c in a cool, dry place. Protect from sunlight and KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
