[Knowledge: Baby] Treating diaper rash

Instead of using talcum powder when treating diaper rash, opt for ointment, such as A&D, Balmex or Desitin. Talcum powder can be inhaled by your baby. (There have been numerous reports of life-threatening episodes, even deaths, from powder inhalation.) Plus, talcum powder doesn't seem to have an advantage over ointment in the treatment of diaper rash. Why risk it when there are suitable alternatives?

I got Drapolene cream to treat diaper rash. So far, it's been serving well! :)
