Knees Red from Crawling!

Stina2012 · May 2014

Oh my little munchkin loves crawling so much! Her poor knees are red from crawling all over the house today. Any tips to help?

She wore dresses the lasts two days, so I'm switching her to pants. But it's getting toasty!

Those knees will toughen up in no time. For now I'd do some eucerin (if you have carpets) or keep her in pants.

Sending Riley all the knee kisses.

Aquaphor is like baby cure all!

She's taken a few steps so maybe her knees will get more breaks!

I put aquaphor on Vinnys knees cuz they are getting so ashy with all the crawling.
It helps!

Dealing with it over here too. I just put lotion on at night. I'm not sure there is much that we can really do.

I was just noticing this on my LO. Thanks for the advice!

Good to know what will help when we're at that stage!

Feli is still in the army crawl phase, so she has blisters.....on the pads of her big toes. I don't know...can I put band-aids on her toes? Will she just pull them off and eat them?

Poor baby! Riley pulls her band aids off and eats them. Maybe try socks with Aquaphor? At least she wouldn't choke on socks!

My LO lives in baby leggings! So easy & pretty cute too. Her knees are fine & she crawls up a storm!

Anyone tried knee bands? They are like shorter baby legs. Although I suppose baby legs would work too.

Aww, poor girl. Only one knee for my LO because he crawls like Igor. It's not red though, it's bruised. When it bothers him he crawls on hands and feet. I'm going to try aquafor too since it's getting rough as well.

I'm pretty sure they don't feel it (at least my lo doesn't let on that she does) it will clear right up with walking. My dr said not to worry

Thanks for posting this. I just noticed my LO tonight. Poor baby knees! I've been tryingn capris although they look silly lol

I tried knee pads with Ben at first but they were a bit tight on his legs... His knees did toughen up a bit after a while. I let him crawl and put lotion on at night.

I try to at least lotion up her knees/legs after her bath every other day. We are still wearing pants for the most part cause it is still rainy. I was going to suggest baby legs. Soon they will all be walking.

DH and I thought about creating some baby leathers complete with gloves and a leash on the jacket so baby can crawl out in public and stay sanitary and not get hurt hands or knees.
