I already filled you in on how much Britt loooooves to suck her fingers. Tony is worried about her teeth. I'm not. But three days ago she came to me, held out her beloved fingers and said, "owie." I looked at them and got a huge shock! They were red, swollen, hard and the skin was all cracked! It reminded me of when I first started nursing each of the girls.
So I've been putting lanolin on her fingers and then putting a sock over her hand. She'll only wear it for a little while, but it must be enough because her fingers have been getting gradually better. **happy** Ash thinks the sock-on-hand look is totally cool, so she's been copy-catting and wearing one too. Hahaha!
I'm am a little bit puzzled though. I can't imagine what happened to make this occur now. Maybe the onset of the cold weather and using a heater at night? Poor, little bum.
