Fabulous information for someone bringing a little bundle of joy in to the world, so wish we knew this when we were bring ours in to the world.
I remember using talc on one of the baby's when the midwife came over she was horrified, I showed her the bottle which said recommended by midwifes, she explained that one midwife in the world could say hey good product, then the company could slap that statement on the packaging.
All a learning curve, it's great to have people like you @woman-onthe-wing guiding others that want to know how to navigate natural remedy's in our everyday lives.
Thank you! My sister is due in the next few weeks and I have been trying to get good info to her as she's not as savvy about natural choices as me and I worry myself thinking of her using harmful products! I'm glad to hear your midwife advised against talc, because here they sent my baby home from the intensive care unit with a miniature bottle of talc as well as Vaseline and I was horrified! They even bathed him in the hospital and squirted in loads of baby bubble bath, and for the next 3 days he smelled of baby bath... it wasn't nice having my prem baby stinking of chemicals! You have to wonder where the common sense is...
Common sense and responsibility have gone out the window we have to be advocates for ourselves and family's.
I agree, common sense isn't half as 'used' as it should be! But you know what they say, if you don't use it you lose it!!!
