It might not stay but it's worth a try. </p> <p>@mrsb2912: glad to hear that it didn't just keep getting worse. His one arm looks so raw. I hope his skin adjusts soon </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-army-crawled#post-1856060 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 10:07:19 +0000 tysonja 1856060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we didn't have a problem with elbows, but both my sons' big toes got kinda scraped up, along with mangled toe nails. I just tried to put socks on them, but it wasn't very hot here either time.</p> <p>maybe try something totally random like, cut the toes off of two pairs of baby socks and slide them up around his elbows, like cuffs? :) not sure if they would stay on, but maybe it would help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-army-crawled#post-1855974 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:36:10 +0000 MrsB2012 1855974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B army crawled for months. It just took some time to get the skin thicker. It never bothered her and didn't take long to build up the skin </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-army-crawled#post-1855951 Wed, 10 Sep 2014 09:24:36 +0000 gilmoregirl 1855951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did he/she get rug burn and did you do anything to prevent or treat it?</p> <p>My little guy figured out how to army crawl two days ago and now his little elbows have rug burn. It doesn't seem to bother him at all, but I'm afraid it will get worse? It's still a little too warm for him to be in long sleeves all the time...he runs pretty hot.</p> <p>Did anything work for you? </p>
