Hi Sunny, you can use Himalya Talcum Powder. Its good and ayurvedic. I stopped using all johnson products as earlier also few years prior same thng happened with johnson. I heard pigeon is good brand and i use its shampoo and its good.

Hi sunny! I have recently shifted to Chico shampoo, I have not been using any kind of powder on my kids as I have the same concerns. these days u can't vouch for even the biggest players (brands) in the market that their products r safe for r children. As Deepti advised u can still use Himalayan talcum powder. I have been using olive oil for massaging my kids n have had not problems so far.

Even i use powder very less, only when i feel its hot or going out in some humid envoirment. Coz i feel her underarms are getting brownish as i used to use johnson everyday. It can be due to other reason or a natural thing,but i use powder very less now. but i do use Himalya lotion almost everyday.

100% Himalaya fan... I love their products and I use most of them for my family... the powder is damn good.. its fragrance is enticing.. try it...

Hi, I usually avoid using power on my baby's skin, but if we do we use Himalaya Powder. I have stopped using any J&J product for my child but instead I bought Chico bathing lotion and shampoo which is much softer on baby's skin compared to J&J and I also bought Chico toothpaste (strawberry flavour) which my son (22 months old) loved. He now wants to brush every time he goes in bathroom and sees his toothpaste :)

Hey thank u everyone... i have also stopped using powder. How bout the Mother care products? Can i use the body lotion and shampoo of Moother care? And also diaper cream of which brand is good? I am using Before nappie as if now.

Hey Sunny. Good tat u stopped using powder. Absorb is good even i use it for my son nw 2. 7 yrs old only in d genital area. I use it vry rarely only wen therez some infection, reddenning or a little swelling at d tip of his genitals.

My son's rashes are fine now. But m worried what if they reoccurs? M regularly using Absorb and diaper cream but do i have to use anything else also while diapering? And also which cream of lotion should i apply on him to smell good.
