baby powder

What's the deal? Can we use it or not? I have dr appt on Monday so I'll ask then, but just curious. I feel like it might be nice on his little bum after a bath...

A nurse told me once that if I was going to use it to put it on my hand and then pat it on carefully so the powder doesn't float through the air for DC to inhale.  I rarely use it, but if I do, that is what I do.

I think you can, but if I were to use it, I would look for something corn starch based, not talc- based.  I am also a paraben and phthalates freak, so I would look for one without these ingredients.  I am sure it's perfectly safe, especially if you dump it into your hands and rub your hands together to apply (the concern is it getting in the lungs).

We were told not to use baby powder at all for fear DS would inhale talc. HTH

I use corn starch every night after his bath...he's a heavy wetter at night, so it helps to keep him a little dry.
