I will give that one a try tomorrow.

If it doesn't then the neosporin and bandaid trick you did usually helps to loosen it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-splinter-out-of-los-finger#post-565385 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 21:49:02 +0000 T-Mom 565385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: we can't see the end of the splinter so I don't think we can get to it with tweezers... That's why DH was trying to push the splinter back out so he could grab it with tweezers but she was hysterical.. I just put her to bed with Neosporin and a band aid and maybe tomorrow I'll look at it again.

DD got a splinter at day care and DH and I disagree on how to proceed. I want to apply Neosporin and a band aid and let it come out by itself. He tried squeezing her finger and pushing it back out, but she was screaming bloody murder and it wasn't coming out anyway... </p>
