Thank you for your question and congratulations for having your bundle of joy. No powder should be used, rash cream can be used when required Till the time baby is not properly toilet trained you can use the diaper, no harm in it rather it is better than home made nappy

Hi, Avoid diapers if possible. Apply diaper rash cream before wearing diapers. Change the diaper before every feed if soiled.
