Use it that way for mother during the last few weeks of pregnancy, in case her water breaks at home. Then cut it up in appropriate sizes for baby. On ointments and powders: our favorite ointment was zinc oxide, which doesn't smell like fish and seems to come out of the diaper a little more easily. Our favorite powder was corn starch. I think you can even buy "baby corn starch" now, but I don't know if it is any different from the laundry aid. Don't use talcum powder! It's bad for everyone's lungs.
