Hello,
Thanks for posting your query in "Ask A Doctor",

Personally, I would not recommend the use of talc in babies, as they tend to make the baby's skin dry. Ideally baby's skin is to fragile and sensitive that it has to be kept well moisturised.

Also there has been many reports and studies done, that suggests the inhalation of talcum particles, which are very minute, to cause breathing difficulties in some babies.


But, if you would like to apply talc on your baby, make sure not to put the powder directly over the body, but instead you can dab the talc using an applicator, on areas far from the nose and mouth.

You can always go for any trusted brands like Seba Med, or organic brands like Mamaearth.
There are also talc free baby powders available in the market. You can also decide ob using them.

I hope this helps,
Let me know if I can assist you any further,

regards

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Thanks for writing back,


Yes, Himalaya baby powder would be fine, but just remember to dab it on the skin using an applicator. They claim to provide safe baby products, but I am in no authority to guarantee the safety of it. Like I said before, I personally do not recommend the usage of powder for babies until the age of 2. Babies generally do not need powders unless for any nappy rashes. In that case, there are several diaper rash creams available.

As far as soap is concerned, you can buy TEDIBAR from Curatio. this has skin friendly pH and also tear free properties.

I hope this helps,

Regards
