Baby with smelly hands

in August 2011 Moms

It sounds gross I know but DD's hands are always a little smelly. I think its probably from her sucking on them, then keeping them clamped closed. We try to clean them as much as possible.

Anyone else have this problem?

    We do! We usually just wipe them with a wipe during the day and wash them in the tub at night.

    Yes! DD also sometimes gets her hands real close to her face while she eats so they sometimes smell like sour milk :( I try to just wipe them after every feeding as well.

    Do you also find she gets a lot of lint-like stuff in her hands as well?

    Uh, yeah...sometimes it's so bad that if I get a whiff I want to vomit! Between the hand sucking, the spit up, and keeping his hands in fists all day, my little monster can create quite the odor!! I try to clean with wipes when I remember and then I was them really really well at bath time.

    ETA: Just saw the lint comment. We also get finger jam (I'm assuming it's the equivalent of toe jam...). My poor baby!!

    Yes!  I thought something was wrong at first. 

    Also yes to the finger jam... and sometimes it looks like he has dirt under his finger nails umm how?

    Yep, DS gets milky, wet hands and dirty fingernails. I'm kind of anal about cleaning his hands anyway though, because for some reason, when people say hi to him they always grab his hands and I don't want their germs on my son's hands and then in his mouth.

    I usually just use my nails to clean her nails. Also sometimes when she is sleeping after nursing I will use a cuticle thing from my own nail kit to get it out...very very carefully obviously.
