Does anyone know of these?
Ive read a few places how you shouldnt use talcum powder on babies any more, because is causes breathing problems  -------------

I was told not to use it on baby girls as it is linked to fertility problems

LOL I love it. I guess if you are squirting powder around like a maniac it could cause all sorts of problems... -------------

Yeah I heard that it can get "up there" and into the uterus etc. But I still use it even now after her shower to make sure everywhere is dry. I have a sheepskin pad thing that I put it on then wipe it over her so not squirting directly onto her. ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

| I had heard that it is easy for the powder to get into their lungs and that as long as you put it on carefully it is ok - never heard the infertility thing but it certainly doesnt get anywhere near 'up-there' lolol |
