The stuff for which most folks substitute baby powder.


You have to use the STC'd baby powder and add it to your MEL.

Baby powder is just talc with perfume. Now if they'd make an
unscented version for allergic babies?

Incidentally, baby powder up until around 1960 or so was made not
of talc, but of chrysolite asbestos, one of the worst forms of the
stuff. All the panic over a few bits of asbestos found floating in the
air in some old buildings is a bit overblown, considering that us
older guys inhaled vast quantities of it while in our cribs. Never
(cough, choke) hurt me...
