I only use unscented Boogie Wipes anyway. I can't stand the scented ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972467 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:43:44 +0000 Mrs. Twine 972467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I wouldn't use a scented one, probably. We just use the unscented plain saline ones. First I rinse with water, then I wipe (especially if there is any grime embedded in there). Then I put the Motherlove ointment and usually skip the bandaid (depending on the injury). I will re-apply the Motherlove ointment frequently throughout the day. Ellie likes bandaids, so she usually gets one regardless. Lorelei rips them off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972335 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:20:02 +0000 cascademom 972335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Oh, good to know. I like the idea of using a Boogie wipe to cleanse the wound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972317 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:16:44 +0000 MsLipGloss 972317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: Like contact solution saline solution? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972310 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:14:59 +0000 Mrs. Twine 972310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: We have done the same thing since birth. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972308 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:14:23 +0000 Mrs. Twine 972308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mewtill: It absolutely is true of EMAB. We used that, but I have a slight aversion to the smell (don't worry, no :bfp: here) so we started using the Motherlove. I adore the fact that I can just carry one product that can do triple duty as a cream for dry skin on the go (think chapped lips, excema patch, etc.), diaper rash control/prevention, and wound care.<br /> We also always carry boogie wipes and will use those for cleaning along with water from the water bottle we always have with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972260 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:01:32 +0000 cascademom 972260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious, what do you do about scrapes, cuts, and scratches for LO's under 12 months old? LO cut his leg going against my un-pedicured toe. It's still healing, but wondering what I can do since he's still pretty little. I wasn't sure about Neosporin with him and his age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972254 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 10:59:39 +0000 Mrs. Bee 972254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>clean with water, neosporin, bandaid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-972247 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 10:58:16 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 972247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Oooh, the cloth diaper ointment can be used for scrapes? Do you think that's true of the Earth Mama Angel Baby brand?</p> <p>@chopsuey119: He's only had scratches so far and we don't do much. He did scrape his foot on something sharp when he was 3 months. It bled a lot, but he wasn't chuffed about it, so I just wiped it with soap/water and added neosporin &amp; a band-aid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-971952 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:34:09 +0000 Mrs. Twine 971952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clean it and we use Motherlove diaper rash/thrush ointment on them and a bandaid if the girl in question wants one or it seems prudent. I carry a "kit" in my diaper bag. It's also good to have for when I take Ellie's friends places with us if they get a scrape or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-971945 Mon, 29 Jul 2013 09:31:07 +0000 looch 971945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on how much attention my son is paying to the boo-boo. If I have a bit of time, I do a quick wipe with a saline solution and then a bit of neosporin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-971314 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 23:51:19 +0000 sarac 971314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kisses?

Luckily I haven't had to use it yet but I would just quickly wash it with some SS and then put a bandaid on. Maybe some ointment if I thought it was bad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-970506 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:09:37 +0000 Maysprout 970506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The solution for pollution is dilution :happy: </p> <p>We wash it out really well with soap and water and then a bit of antibiotic ointment if it's a bit deep.<br /> I'm a big hydrogen peroxide fan, though I know the med literature says it impairs wound healing, my personal experiments on myself have shown I'm less likely to scar when I use H202 but LO heals just fine on her own.<br /> So usually for LO I just make sure to wash it out regularly with soap and water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-minor-scrapes#post-970493 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:02:13 +0000 chopsuey 970493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD fell and scraped her knee for the first time yesterday.<br /> All I had in my medicine cabinet were hello kitty bandaids! </p>
