Is it safe to use baby powder on my newborn?

I'm against it, it might cause some respiratory reactions, your newborn might inhale them and could have some breathing problems and it might damage their lungs if it becomes very serious It can seriously irritate them as well, especially if he or she has respiratory illness, if your baby is not at risk of it, and you decide to use powder, do so but put it on your hands first and away from him/her. :)
