Since we swaddle her, the aquaphor and sock worked fairly well.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: I guess I need to find my nip cream.

Seriously nipple cream. Dd is a thumb sucker and had a similar spot. Our ped recommended lanolin because its food grade. It cleared up fairly quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-advice-baby-chewing-on-finger#post-823593 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 08:02:51 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 823593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: what about putting a bandaid on the finger (w/ polysporin) and then the sock? I'm reaching but it might work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-advice-baby-chewing-on-finger#post-823392 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 00:02:11 +0000 MaisyMay 823392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Not yet. I thought I'd ask you guys first since the ped won't be available until Monday at the earliest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-advice-baby-chewing-on-finger#post-823368 Fri, 31 May 2013 23:34:39 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 823368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice - just wanted to say I'm sorry to hear that. Have tried talking with her pediatrician? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-advice-baby-chewing-on-finger#post-823360 Fri, 31 May 2013 23:30:22 +0000 MaisyMay 823360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has pretty much self weaned from her paci unless she's tired; instead she chews on her first fingers. Both of her first fingers are bright red and chapped. </p> <p>What should I do? </p> <p>I put aquaphor on the two fingers and covered them w/ socks before swaddling her for bed. What can I put on them during the day that is okay if she chews on? </p> [attach=407/13/mnp5un.320x240.A-s-finger.jpg]
