What’s the difference between baby powder and talcum powder? Can I interchange them?

_ asked:


I’m not using talcum powder on my baby, but I need talcum powder and can only find baby powder. Can I use baby powder on a swimming pool cover to prevent it from sticking together when I fold it up to store it for the winter? Are they interchangeable? What’s the difference b/w them?

K D asked:


Hi, I’m at a loss how I can do up a baby nursery for a baby boy which has a feature red wall, the red is like a light burgundy or crimson sort of red. The rest of the walls in the room are cream. I can’t repaint it which I’d love to do so stuck for ideas. I like wall murals & things but of course clouds & space stickers etc won’t go well on red. Appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Hello, I am just wondering if a “Baby Shower” is important enough to decline a friends party that I already told that I was going, now I can’t because of the baby shower? The party is tomorrow and I don’t know how to excuse without hurting her feelings. Thank you.

?Angel Eyez? asked:


I am 31 weeks pregnant and am just curious about how early a baby can be born and survive. I hope to make it to my due date but I am just wondering if all babies born before 37 weeks have to have long stays in the hospital. Does anybody know if there are babies that have survived being born 8 weeks early without having to stay in the hospital. I have had no signs of pre-term labor thus far, I am just worrying about what could happen to me.

As far as I remember a baby may lie on a stomach not earlier but when a baby is 8 weeks old.

Possum asked:


Most books, brochures, and web sites mention that babies are released from hospitals in receiving blankets. However, it is not clear how to secure baby in the car seat with 5-point harness if he/she is blanketed? We live in SF and expect to bring our baby home in January. Thank you very much!

T?e I?ƒa?ou? ?u??? asked:


My boyfriend’s friend and his wife are expecting their third child. They already have two boys ages three and one. I thought since they are being so kind to let me stay with them and my boyfriend for three weeks, I’d get them something for Christmas.

I don’t know the gender of the baby, so would a gender neutral baby gift be appropriate for their Christmas gift?
I have no idea what that will be. Suggestions are appreciated!
