Oh Oh Oh OH.....a question!!!!!!
*waving hand violently in the air hoping Peek calls on her*
I have a question Peek....I remember when I had my first son(who is now 8) that they told me not to use baby oil because of something that had to do with bugs and I cant remember why. I never used it on my kids, but I dont remember why im not supposed to , and well....I just wanna know. Is this something you tell new moms?

I went home and immediately checked the baby powder I use on sarah. It is Cornstarch! PHEW!!!
I would have used baby powder for sure until I read this. It seems I have much to learn before this little guy comes into the world....help!
You don't want to use baby powder in the diaper area at all.
Baby cornstarch is ok to use.
Baby cornstarch is ok to use.
From my understanding you don't want it to get up into the vagina (the baby powder)
Ah, yes, a sun reflector! Forgot about those!

Wait, baby powder is not good to use esp on little girls??? I use it every time I change my 8 mo old daughteR??!
Worked best if you had a sun reflector...tinfoil or something. Sigh, I miss the days when we didn't know anything about sun damage. I was such a sun worshipper.
Yeah! Don't you know that was all the rage back in the 70's & 80's? Slather up like a greased turkey! Lol
my friends mother used to lay out with an iodine/baby oil mixture.....that couldnt have been safe, lol.
Hm, so baby oil is a no for babies but hey! We can still rub it all over our bodies and lay out in the sun to get a tan, right?
Its important to keep all substances, even those we would not think of as "dangerous", in their original childproof packaging, and out of the reach of children.

I suspect it arises from this:

It is not recommended to use baby powder for infants, especially girls, because talc has been implicated in genital cancer, including ovarian cancer decades after use. Baby cornstarch may often be substituted.
