I believe Pedi's are now recommending NOT to use powder due to inhalation issues that can cause lung/breathing problems over time. Also, the powder has never been proven to actually do much of anything and is more of an irritant. Maybe try to Google it and see what you find!?

I guess as a parent who has never used powder, I'd be a bit surprised too, but not angry at you. I'd likely ask it not be used (just because of the things I have read), but would provide you with something else, like a medicated cream or something since that's always what I used when my own kids had a rash.

I always tended to err on the side of caution anyway when it came to that stuff. Everyone has a preference and it's always best to just ask first.
