WFMW - first aid trick for little ones

June 28th, 2006

My little guy is always cutting, biting or smashing his lips/tongue/cheeks/you name it - he’s a busy little guy and always into everything. To help with the bleeding and pain, popsicles are our friends. Not only because they calm him down and because it’s probably the only way I could get ice in there, but also because the sugar helps to stop the bleeding! Learn something new every day, eh? Just don’t let them suck hard on it, as that will just make things worse…Be sure to check out the rest of the Works For Me Wednesday tips as well as the Carnival of the Vanities which is being hosted here this week, busy place, eh?

    Not to mention the emotional soothing value of popsicles! Thanks for sharing a great idea!

    I did not know that sugar helped stop bleeding! My kids are forever getting bloody lips, so this tip is going into action probably way too soon for my comfort! Thanks!

    I never knew sugar helped stop bleeding. I usually use empty film containers to make ice and my my kids love to use the funny shaped ice for fixing aches and pains….

    I didn’t know sugar helped stop the bleeding, either. Great tip! And I’m always looking for excuses to keep the freezer stocked with popsicles. :)

    Great tip– I’m sure I’ll use it soon (little E is about to start walking). I didn’t know sugar stops bleeding. Very cool. Can I have a popsicle too?

    p.s. My WFMW made me think of you.

    I didn’t know about the sugar helping with bleeding–but popsicles DO make great ice packs. Thanks for the extra excuse to use this great tip!

    We are big popsicle fans here. They are cheap snacks, all kids love them - and now we have a medicinal reason to keep them on hand! Thanks for sharing!

    What a great idea! I have a busy little guy too!

    Great suggestion! If I had a little one (mine are all grow up now) I’d surely use that one. Maybe I’ll put it in my “future grandma” file.

    My first WFMW is up!
