anyone use cornstarch for baby powder?

Question

I really don't want to use any sort of talcum powder as it can cause cancer. Do they make talcum free baby powder? Or can I just use cornstarch?

Answer

I use cornstarch. In fact, alot of baby powders are just cornstarch. When my oldest was a baby, he got a REALLY bad diaper rash in the heat of summer. Nothing worked. I was advised to put cornstarch on. It cleared up within a day. I havent used any other powder since.

Answer

You're not supposed to use powder but if need be there's caldescene for diaper rashes. And it doesn't cause a huge cloud of powder either.

Answer

I don't use any type of powder on my daughter.

Answer

None of my kids have ever had a diaper rash. I used Vaseline. Protects skin & makes easy to wipe baby's butt too! I was lucky to have a nurse teach me this after 1st baby was born

Answer

Had no need for any powder on my son who is now 16 months. Diapers nowadays are so absorbent they truly pull all the moisture away from the skin. On the rare occasion that he had a rash we used a vitamin A&D ointment.
