Is baby powder safe?
Be careful using too much baby powder as well. That baby powder smell on a baby's bottom is quite tempting and you mother may tell you she sprinkled it on you as a child but according to The Baby Book by William and Martha Sears, these powders are really unnecessary. If you feel the need to use a powder-like substance for a rash, cornstarch can be substituted since it is perfume-free but use it sparingly and keep it and other powders away from a child's nasal and air passages which can become irritated when inhaled.
