I can see having to if it's an emergency, I suppose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2103175 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 21:29:04 +0000 littleblessings 2103175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Never. My mom always did and I'd gag every time. It was so nasty! I'll use a wipe or their own drool since they are both teething. Gagging at the thought of spit shining their faces! Bleh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2103149 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 21:15:39 +0000 MamaG 2103149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to put wipes back in my car for this reason. This morning at daycare drop-off, I realized LO (3.5 yo) didn't wipe her face after brushing her teeth. Toothpaste dries white. Started with spit, but there was too much. We got one of her sister's wipes when we got in the building to finish the job up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2103067 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 20:18:31 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2103067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So my one parenting thing I said I'd never do before I had kids was to spit shine my kids' faces.</p> <p>I have never done it, but our nanny did. One of the many things that ended our relationship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2103062 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 20:15:03 +0000 Mae 2103062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I mean... she gets her spit/drool on me all the time..... lol. </p> <p>If I have a burp cloth or wipe or paper towel handy I opt for that, but I've totally done it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2103011 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 19:38:19 +0000 spaniellove 2103011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, only because his skin is always cracked from eczema and I feel weird about my saliva getting into the cracks. Plus it's kind of like the touch equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2103006 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 19:34:32 +0000 Canoli 2103006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha! I just did this yesterday and swore I would never do it. Actually there is a lot of things that I said I would never do before I had kids but that sure all changed once kids came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2102415 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:39:09 +0000 catomd00 2102415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if absolutely necessary. I usually have wipes handy though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2102390 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:28:33 +0000 mrsjyw 2102390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I don't have anything to wipe with, I'll do it! :) DS doesn't mind, neither do I. I birthed him out of my uterus/vagina. What's a lil spit? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2102385 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:27:00 +0000 blackbird 2102385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew, no, i still think it's gross! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2102377 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:25:15 +0000 ValentineMommy 2102377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here. I always thought it was gross and now I do it all the time lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-your-fingers-to-clean-your-los-face#post-2102264 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 12:00:00 +0000 sorrycharlie 2102264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always was grossed out as a kid when my Mom did this, haha. And swore I'd always use a wipe or something. But I didn't have anything handy today and my 2 year old's face was covered in peanut butter cracker so...whatev! Licked my thumb and cleaned her up. Ha. She didn't seem to care. </p>
