Alternatives to talcum powder include liquid talc or cornstarch-based baby powder. Cornstarch powder is more commonly available in the US; in the UK you can buy it online but it can be expensive. Cornstarch powder has larger particles than talc.However, be just as cautious when using it. Cornstarch powder can cause breathing problems too, if you use it liberally near your baby's face.f you do want to use talc, tip a little into your hand, away from your baby, and dab it onto your baby's skin. Don't sprinkle the talc directly onto your baby.
