Baby powder

Yes BlueBelle, we all did things years ago with our child rearing that would be frowned on now.

My DD was allowed to sleep for hours on end outside in the garden in her pram. I used to check on her regularly, but if she seemed content, warm, but not too warm, then I wouldn’t have dreamt of waking her up for a feed, if she missed one she made up for it later.

As they got older, they had regular meals, none of this ‘snacking’ that seems obligatory nowadays. (No wonder they don’t eat their proper meals).

They wore the clothes that I put out for them, and ate the meals I prepared, not all this faffing about letting them ‘choose’.

Right or wrong, they have grown up responsible citizens, sensible parents themselves….

I have never used talc - I used to use zinc cream on the babies . Hopefully they won’t find anything wrong with that !

Snap, I always Boots own, cheaper & nicer smell.

Forgot, years ago I used it on my thighs in very hot weather, never near my flue though 😅

When I was young, I am now just over 80, I remember some girls I went around with sprinkling it inside their knickers before going out for the night.I can honestly say I was not a culprit of this.

I think the lump has disappeared but will encourage him to check it with his GP.
