I was told by my kids doctor not to use baby powder, that it can cause upper respiratory disorders in babies. But I have used it for years and never seen any effects of it.

FACT:

Even baby powder that says "pure cornstarch" on the label may contain Tricalcium Phosphate. Read the ingredients.

Tricalcium Phosphate when inhaled is harmful.

"The substance is toxic to lungs, mucous membrane."

Use only pure cornstarch as baby powder, if you use anything. Rotate the bottle with your wrist intsead of shaking the bottle. The powder will tumble through the holes gently. Never shake the powder.

ANY particulate can be unhealthy when inhaled.
