I'm so nervous I'm going to find out aquaphor is bad. I've been spreading it on my baby's diaper area since they were born. I know she's absorbing it right into her little body. There's been so many articles about how diapers and tampons and pads are all just awful for us and full of lead and who knows what else and we're putting them right against our mucus membranes and just poisoning ourselves.
If you want to try something else, Burt's bees has a healing ointment for babies that is shea butter based instead of petroleum. Never actually used it on a baby myself lol but it worked wonders for me on my scalp (I have curly biracial hair and I'm picky about what goes in it) and scaly winter hands!
