Baby Talcum Powder

Baby talcum powder is great for keeping your baby's skin soft and dry. There are a few different types of baby talcum powder you can purchase, some with added moisturizers. Baby powder is good to use after giving your baby a bath and to put in the diaper between changes. It helps keep the baby dry and prevent chafing of the skin since it reduces friction.

Many people hear that baby talcum powder is harmful to their baby. If inhaled, baby talcum powder can cause breathing problems. Using 100% cornstarch powders are safer because they do not have carcinogen properties that talc does, but if these aren't available to you simply apply some powder in your hand and rub on your baby. This will prevent the powder from flying through the air and being inhaled by your baby.
