What products to AVOID?

Question

So I was planning on using baby powder for my baby, not thinking anything of it, but recently heard about the Johnson and Johnson baby powder scare and now it makes me question what I can and can't use for my baby. Simple things like baby powder you would never think to harm your child. What are some other products you guys have heard not to use and why?

Answer

The key to baby powder is to use the corn starch variety and not the talc. Johnson's has a corn starch powder. It's not as smooth as the talcum powder, but not as dangerous. I don't like the texture of the cornstarch powder, but I'd rather deal with the texture than risk messing with a carcinogen on my child. If you're hesitant to use J&J powder, but still want to powder, you can just use plain corn starch.

Answer

We use baby powder every once in a while with no problems 
Years ago baby powder had something in it that could of been linked to cancer. No one knew about it back then (this technically could be happening with any product you use) 
Baby powder is now made with different stuff

Also, baby powder (like and powder) could cause respiratory problems if your spraying powder in the baby's face.

Other than that. No problems with using baby powder.
