I wouldn't use boric acid as baby powder. There is the risk of boronism to the
baby.

From MSDS boron:

Effects of Exposure:
Boron compounds are very toxic and therefore considered an industrial poison.
Boron is one of a group of elements, such as
Pb, Mn, As, which effects the central nervous system. Boron poisoning causes
depression of the circulation, persistent vomiting and
diarrhea, followed by profound shock and coma. The temperature becomes subnormal
and a scarlatina form rash may cover the entire
body.
