So my hubby claims that for diper changes ur supposed to use baby powder but I keep telling him u have to use desitian! Who's right ladies? Which do you use?
I like baby aqaphor. No smell, no color, no sticky mess. Prevents and clears up diaper rash quick. I even use it to clear up dry patches anywhere on his body. I bought a big tub of it at Target for $15 2 years ago and I still have a fair amount left.
@ brendalou I've read many articles lately saying the same thing! They also say baby powder has not been medically proven to treat or prevent diper rash.
If it's for a boy powder is good, bad for a girl it can cause uti's. Desitin or even a&d ointment is really good. My dr said do not use powder for a little girl ever.
Your not suppose to use baby powder... the have a lot more info on it then they use to and are now saying its not good at all. The hospital discharge papers I got even had it on the. And if my kids ever hand diaper rash I always used vasoline its amazing!
I've heard from previous mommy friends that powder is a no-go snce it could get into the baby's lungs. I think when ur baby is much older it's OK to pad a little powder on their tush. To keep from getting diaper rash, u could always give your baby "butt time" a few times a day (maybe for a few min) after u wipe them & give them Desitin. This will allow their skin to breathe a little before slapping on a new diaper right away!
I use vasoline for rashes... way better than any diaper rash cream #thanksgrandma! Lol :-) but if I do use powder its really rare like after pooping sometimes or at night so they wont b so wet.. but always da pure cornstarch kind
Of course I wouldn't sprinkle powder near baby's face, that would be silly. However like @beadedbunny states "if you can smell it you're breathing in the powder".
