FTM here asking experienced moms: do you use baby talcum powder on your newborn or infant baby? If so comment brands please.

Question

Thank you!!!

Answer

I don't just because I don't see a point in it. I guess it's used to keep baby dry? But if you change diapers frequently enough it's fine, and I try to give my baby a few seconds to "air out" during changes (new diaper under her in case of pee but leave it untagged until baby wipe residue dries). She rarely ever gets a rash.

If you do decide to use baby powder I would suggest finding something without talc in it. But using powder in general is just a parental preference.

Answer

Yeah I don't think it's toxic as much as pointless.  I keep my son changed and also I let him sit naked sometimes on the bed with a towel under him to keep him ventilated.  And I haven't had any diaper rash problems yet in his 5 months.

Answer

Burts bees has a dusting powder that we bought. We haven't used it yet, but it's talc free.

Answer

No talc, only cornstarch based
