Dumbest question ever

When do y'all use baby powder?
Also when do you use baby oil?
Flame away, I already said it was dumb !!

Um, never and never. 

I don't really know the point of either of them...

Wait - take that back, we used baby oil on her head when she had cradle cap really bad as an infant, that's it.

A dermatologist gave me the tip to put baby oil on myself after a bath when my skin is still wet, then put lotion on.  It keeps your skin moisturized longer.  I do the same with Bryson.  I don't use powder.

I do cornstarch baby powder when I know he's going to be sweaty. Keeps the baby boy bits less sweaty

Same here.  Sadly enough I don't know what baby oil if actually for.

I use baby powder in Karsyn's shoes to help the stink.

It's not dumb. I use baby oil gel after her bath on her bum and mix it with her lotion for extra moisturization everywhere else because she's prone to dry skin and eczema. We have cornstarch powder and I use it on her feet when they get sweaty and occasionally on her bum.

I'm so enlightened ! We have a million bottles if both and they just stare at me like "usssse meeee" but I don't know how. I've used the oil for cradle cap once.

LOL. I love you.

This is random, but you can also wipe it around your tub after you clean it and it will keep things from sticking (hair, soap scum, etc).
