Her hands are a chapped mess, not from sucking her thumb, just from the colder weather & washing her hands more at school. ?Any lotion recs that might err.. not be bad to eat? LOL ?

Aquaphor works well but is all petroleum based.

    Lubriderm has a few that are good.

    I'd look into Burt's Bees maybe.

    When DD's thumb gets bad from sucking, we have used nipple cream (Lanolin). Not sure how that would work for a whole hand though...

    That's what I was going to recommend... its safe to ingest.

    We also had to switch hand soaps and cut down on the length of time at each handwashing for DS. He liked to play in the water and use a TON of soap. By cutting back on both the soap and water exposure, it helped. We sing Row Row Row Your Boat and that's how long he can wash.
