Guest guest Posted October 10, 2004 Report Share Posted October 10, 2004 I was around a thousand years ago, that's when my daughter was born. I think back then, talc, a mineral was used in powder, and caused inhalation pneumonia. I don't think they put talc in anymore, but, any ninny who sends clouds of ANY powder up near a baby has no sense(scents,lol).Remember Physohex( came in a green plastic bottle?) T he soap had hexaclorophene in it, was great stuff, can't buy it anymore. Anyway, I don't think a natural arrowroot, or cornstarch- chamomile powder mix would be harmful if just lightly patted on baby skin. I would NOT use EOs,though. Just a Granny thought. R.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Oh, gosh! I remember Physohex. We used it to keep acne at bay and as a handwash prior to starting our shift in NBN. We also bathed newborns in it for their first bath in the nursery. Dang, that takes me back a LOOOoong way!
