Do you/Will you use talc on your baby?

[Minxy]

I don't use it. Not because of health concerns but just because this lazy ma likes to use the bare minimum and I've never felt he needed it

 

[Redshoes]

I've never used talc on Isaac, but not because of any health reasons, just because I don't see the point, he has only ever got sore when teething's at its worse, I've never understood the 'keep them dry' idea with talc, they P in their nappy all day, I'd have thought it'd just cause a paste or get absorbed and they'd still get wet there anyway. I've not read up about the 'dangers' of talc so can't comment, but doubt there's anything in that considering baby talc is promoted from birth

 

[Red_Fairy]

I use it about twice a week with hannah.

 

[kazlin]

I have voted yes as I have some in my baby basket, but will see how I feel/if he needs it once Daniel arrives

 

[weenik]

I bought some talc when I was pg but it's never been opened. When my niece was younger my sister used talc and we think it gave her a cough because when she stopped using it for a week or two the cough went away. I only remembered about this after I had bought it (pg brain). I hardly use anything on Dylan anyway - I don't think his gorgeous skin needs much on it

 

[happy-chick]

Yeah I use it, I use a little bit & rub it into my hands then use it to dry her bum mainly seriously cant see any harm in it!

 

[Riley's Mommy]

i dont use it as i remember somethign about cancer. related to talc.

may be nonsense. but for that reason ive never used it

 

[Lola's Mummy]

No, I don't use it on Lola.

 

[Gem & Leland]

god the amount of talc of used on myself in the passed im sprised im not already 6ft under then

i have some in , but havent used it yet , havent needed too but will do if i think he needs it later on .

 

[beanie]

nope have just thrown away a tub of it which I got in a baby box

It may not be a proven link and it may be over the top but mymum died of ovarian cancer at a very young age and I will do whatever I can to minimise either me or my daughter getting it.Plus I don't like the way if you tip the container up it all puffs out. Plus I am another minxy, use as little as possibleon her skin as it is just peachy perfect as it is and her natural smell is the yummiest ever

 

[Squiglet]

I have really pale skin as I can't expose myself to the sun... so the only face powder I can use has to be either brought in the UK or i buy the cheaper alternative...baby powder Its kept on a top shelf away from the kids... anyone with a mischievous two year old knows that toddlers and bottles of baby powder mix explosively and baby powder bed room decor isn't easy to rectify As for using it on my babies...never... they all have really dry skin... so I just bathe them in oil.. I don't even use soap as even my skin finds most soaps irritating

 

[lauramumof2]

I used some on Joe the other night because I had lost the sudocrem and the next morning his bum was red and sore and has taken a good few days to clear up.

Im chucking it out

 

[x-kirsty-x]

I use it occasionally on Ryan, I don't see a problem with it 8)

 

[Kimbo]
