re: DD has a splinter in her foot.

Ive heard that placing an orange peel on a splinter, and letting it sit for a while will draw it out

Quoting nursemaya (8weeks):" soak and clean first. Sterilize a needle and peel bck the skin covering it gently with the needle and then guide the splinter out with needle. My mom always did this for me and it never hurt"

I could probably do that, the problem is she won't sit still   She's really scared to let me touch it. I was looking at it this morning and noticed two other splinters. It's our old hardwood floor. We're getting carpet soon, but in the meantime I am keeping shoes on her.
