My littlest chickadee was born 4 weeks early, and I don't know if that has contributed to her extra sensitive skin or not, but she has EXTRA sensitive skin! I have been struggling and trying for months to find a solution to this problem. I have tried all sorts of natural balms - like Burt's Bees. And I tried A&D. Nothing, and I mean nothing, worked.
Finally my husband suggested baby powder. I have always been reluctant to try baby power - because the talc can be dangerous to babies if they get it in their lungs.
So, since nothing else was working - I tried it as my last resort. I was very careful not to raise any dust and sprinkle it very carefully.
That being said after only 1 day her little sensitive skin was beautiful once again! No ugly red rash! It was like a miracle. I've been using the powder ever since - and not one problem!
So - the moral of my story is: don't be so opposed to using something that might really work. If your baby is having problems with the balms or ointments - try using plain old regular baby powder! You might be surprised!
If using TALC baby powder - just be extra careful not to raise any powder near your little cutie's nose. Or you can try to find ARROWROOT powder - which is supposed to be safer.
I tried both tippy toes by TopCare, and also Johnson's Baby - and I actually liked the cheaper kind better! Go figure!
Have a Hats and Chickadees Day!
