baby powder on cloth dipes?

[mom-to-jj]

My MIL babysat last night, and as I was doing laundry today I discovered baby powder on my cloth diapers. Will this hurt my diapers? I didn't even think to tell her not to put anything on the baby's butt...

Baby powder as in talc? I thought everyone knew that talc is not safe for use on babies?

You CDs should be fine though.

Next time, you could try packing a talc-free baby powder in the diaper bag, if that would make her happy.

I've never had any issues when using baby powder (cornstarch) with our CD's.

baby powder/cornstarch made my PFs suuuuuper stiff. but ive heard that it had no effect for other people =\

(and i personally believe as long as its used with caution, baby powder/cornstarch is just fine.)
