I noticed today that Ashleigh has 3 or 4 prickles in her feet  Does anyone have any tips on how to get them out? I'll obviously have to use a needle but I'm pretty sure she won't just lie there and let me dig around  I'll do it after a bath so the skin is soft but just thought someone might have a good method?------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Ouch, sorry no suggestions, but poor Ashleigh! You could always try while she is asleep? My nanny cuts the gremlins nails while they're asleep (coz I won't do it). -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| the lady at the market told me to put aloe vera on it, then the sticker part of the bandange on. after a week it should draw it out. I figured a bandage would never last that long on Jake's foot, and he let me dig it out. helps if hands are occupied wiuth ice blocks at the time. |

Occuping hands is always a good thing. What you could do is get DH to distract her and you can do the dead or the other way around. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

you can buy some drawing ointment I think is is called mercurium or something like that, another poltus (drawing thing that my mum uses) is wet bread (with water) & sugar on top then put plaster on usually takes overnight or next day ------------- Kerryn, Mum to Ashlyn(29/3/04), Anastasia(1/11/05) & Abigail (24/02/09) |

I managed to do it after her bath and she was lying with her daddy drinking her bottle. Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be  ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">

Yeah I used a needle. I think Ashleigh still has some more although they just look like little red spots. But they have come up in a little lump but they are not bothering her at all. Not sure if I should dig around in there or not. I wonder if they eventually work themselves out? ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">
