Lint between fingers and toes

Please tell me Im not the only one dealing with this. DS always has it and every day I have to pry his fingers and toes apart to get it all out. Sometimes I use a wipe and other times my nails work best. How do you clean the lint off your LO? :)

Re: Lint between fingers and toes

  • haha this is one of those things that I tell people about because NO ONE WARNED ME!!! hahah how the heck does it get there....and how does it wrap around her fingers?!?! the world may never know!

     I use a q-tip sometimes to get it out.

  • I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one! I feel like a bad mom sometimes when I see it, because it makes me feel like she's dirty. She gets enough baths!
    I usually am able to pick it out with my fingers when I see it.

  • Uh, yeah, it sucks! He gets it between his toes worse than his fingers, especially now that he's wearing socks more. With his feet, his toes are under the water in the tub (he gets a bath every night - soap every other night) and it usually comes out. His hands, I use the washcloth to get it all out.

    I'm thinking it gets there when they are clenching their fists together all the time. Just the build up of sweat and such. It is gross... I just get it out when I'm feeding her and she's relaxed. 

  • Yep, have it here too. I wash it out in the tub and also pry it out with my nails while he BFs.

    This is what I do, too.

  • Totally freaked me out when she was a NB and I saw GREEN stuff between her fingers! So gross. I felt like a terrible mama. I usually "floss" with a thin washcloth or use my nails to get it out.

  • Dealing with it here too! I just get it with my fingers during the day and then get it really good in the bath each night.
  • DD always has this, too. I just rinse her hands and feet out with the house we have on our kitchen faucet.
