Usually she pulls the mittens off during the night, but I figure that her fingers are covered long enough to benefit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-sucking-and-cracked-skin#post-1262740 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:29:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1262740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh!<br /> Works for cracked nipples and you don't have to worry about her eating it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-sucking-and-cracked-skin#post-1262719 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:25:03 +0000 Greentea 1262719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: I put some organic baby lotion on at night and then a mitten! Then we nurse to sleep... only had to do that one night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-sucking-and-cracked-skin#post-1262684 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:15:19 +0000 Adira 1262684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same problem! I put a dab of Aquaphor on it, but it doesn't seem to help. I should try @MaisyMay's glove idea though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-sucking-and-cracked-skin#post-1262676 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:13:20 +0000 MaisyMay 1262676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO does this when teething. I put aquaphor on it and cover it with a sock or glove when she's going to sleep. It looks great the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finger-sucking-and-cracked-skin#post-1262630 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 14:04:33 +0000 birdofafeather 1262630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R has sucked her left index and middle finger since she was 4.5 months and learning to self soothe. I have loved it since refused a paci and figured I'd worry about breaking her of it when she's older if needed. </p> <p>A side effect of it getting colder though is now the skin in those fingers is cracked from being wet and then exposed to the cold air. I'm hesitant to use lotion because she would probably put her hands in her mouth immediately after! Any ideas? </p>
