What ever happened with good ol baby powder to keep babies dry? Is it not rec'd anymore? LO has tiny sweat pimples btw her rolls and I think she could benefit from some powder...

It's not recommended because it can cause lung issues. If you do use it, keep it away from baby's face and reach. Store it where baby can't get into it also.

Wow..I didn't know this! We don't use baby powder, but still that's crazy.

I don't want to sound alarmist, because I don't think it's a huge issue. Just....why use it if there is even that possibility? The benefits don't outweigh the risk to me.

I agree. I'm like that with a lot of stuff.

We've used it a few times. H gets really sweaty behind his knees and the inside of his elbows. I put it on my hand first and rub it in.

Pedi told us we could use it, but to out it on hand first and rub that way. Also to use as little as possible.

Do what you feel comfortable with, I don't use it.

I used it once at the beach. Another board told me to use it for getting sand off. It worked really well, I got all the sand off his butt before changing him back into a regular diaper. I don't use it the rest of the time.

Someone told me to try a little cornstarch, but then I read if there's a fungal issue, the cornstarch will feed the fungus and make it worse. So, IDK.
