34 Weeks & I'm Craving And Eating Johnson Johnson Baby Powder , ... Can This Harm My Baby?😕

It's called pica, it usually means your body is missing some sort of nutrient and it's craving it!

Have you read any of the posts on the internet about a certain ingredient causing cancer in that specific baby powder?

(And yes, a lot of the odd cravings from pica can cause harm to your baby. Don't eat it, don't indulge. Talk to your doctor to see what nutrient or vitamin you're lacking in to crave that.)

yes that's why I'm worried , are the post accurate? @zoiemariee ... @sashleythomp is it a different way,to get the nutrient or is this normal?

I'm assuming so. It was something with a T that caused it. If I were you I'd stop eating it right away): I don't even wanna use that baby powder on my baby cause of the posts

yeah, I just looked it up and your body may be asking for iron. maybe something else. I would suggest you stop eating it and ask your dr to be sure that your baby is safe.

It's supposed to be the talc in the powder. If it says pure cornstarch it's fine

It's best to try to get the nutrients with safe foods or vitamins, again, try really really hard not to indulge in the craving and talk to your doctor. Don't be embarrassed, I'm sure he has heard of this before. It's uncommon, but normal during pregnancy. My best advice is to eat a snack, drink a cup of water so you feel full and try as hard as you can not to eat it.

I would ask ur dr bc ik cornstarch can block u up & talc isn't good at all for u

Definitely talk to your doc!!! Craving non food items during pregnancy means your body is in need of something!
