Talcum powder

[peesandqueues]

Would you say anything if a friend was using talc on their baby girl's bum at nappy changes?

Long term the health risks are pretty scary. Would you say something (what/how?) or not interfere?

A gynae consultant once told me it's linked to adhesions in women with endometriosis too. Haven't checked the research but he was very keen on evidence-based medicine. It stopped me using it and I've never used it on my children either. I'd mention it conversationally.

I'm sure they want an affordable powder, not one from abroad or costing upwards of £10.

Ocado seems to have the cornstarch Johnson ones online if you have one near you (I don't!)

Yes I would say. I would scare the bejesus out of her with a printout of all the findings about it- then let her do what she wants with the information. No way I could have knowledge of something potentially harmful and just keep me to myself. Everyone knows not to serve hotdogs in front of me - I'm off... 😂😂
