Baby powder no no?

Question

My husband and I took a childbirth education class yesterday and the instructor was telling us how baby powder is "a thing of the past".  She said it can cause Pneumonia and other respiratory issues and that the talc is bad for them. I never knew this! Is there an alternative any experienced moms have used to keep baby dry and comfortable?

Answer

I'm pretty sure they stopped using talc a while ago. Mine says pure cornstarch. We change him frequently, but when it's super hot this helps keep the sweat at bay and has resulted in less diaper rash.

Answer

I've always used pure cornstarch.

Answer

We just change them often and use Desitin or some diaper cream if there is a rash.

Baby powder causes ovarian cancer. It also doesnt help with diaper rash anyways. I just use desitin, or if theres a bad case of diaper rash neosporin works wonders. Also.. let em go without a diaper when you can.

Answer

I dont mind using a lil bit of baby powder on their top half. Like...a tiny bit. But I wouldnt put any on his bottom. It can cause so many infections and irritations. A lil bit of cream will do the job. X
