Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly?!?

[peppper100]

I always use vaseline. Only once a day just before I go to sleep. Someone told me yesterday not to use vaseline so I googled and there was a few sites/threads warning not to use it.

I will obviously stop use now but am so worried that I have caused some harm to my little one. I am only 6w 3d.

Has anyone heard this or is it another thing that is not worth worrying about.

In general, vaseline is not great. I wouldn't worry about having used it - you won't have harmed your little one.

But use this as an opportunity to swap over. I highly recommend the pawpaw ointment in the orange tube. Great for dry lips, and when bubs is here, it will also be great for dribble rash, windburn, cradle cap, and all manner of other things you are yet to discover
