Hi all

Do you use talc?

After my baby has had a bath I always use talcum powder on him and quite a generous amount.

Now I'm worried after reading all the stories on the internet recently.

Do you use talcum powder?

Never used the stuff. What is it for? Serious question.

No I never use it, TBH I don't see the need, a good rub down with a towel works fine

I know my son is not at risk for ovarian cancer so no need for sarcasm just wanted to know people's thoughts generally.

No. Never used it for babies. I understand the powder isn't good for babies lungs.

Your son is hardly at risk of getting ovarian cancer.

The link between talc and cancer is not proven anyway.
