FTM Question

[supermorena]

So LO just started crawling and it's also currently 5 million degrees out so he's in just a onesie. He's already getting a little rugburn and it's only been a few days. Do I put him in pants even though it's so hot? Has anyone done kneepads? Do they actually stay on? Am I over reacting and red knees are nbd?

Feel free to highjack this thread with other silly ftm questions

M started crawling during the summer and was most often just in a onesie. I just tried to make sure to lotion up his knees at night and if I noticed greet looked rough during diaper changes. I bought the knee pads and never used them.

Leave him bare pants aren't going to help that much. The knees have tougher skin they will be ok. Knee pads don't stay on.

C started crawling when it was hot out too and was always in shorts. His knees would get red but it didn't seem to bother him at all. I wouldn't worry about it unless he seems bothered by it.

My first two started crawling during the winter, but this one will be when it's hot here too. I never thought of that.

Not a silly question. 😉

My summer crawler developed rough and tough skin there pretty quickly. Sad to see the baby skin go but doesn't bug them. Keep him cool mama!

I would pay you to try and get knee pads on a crawler, just for the entertainment of it.

My kids was crawling bare legged on wood floors, I never really thought about it. Knees are tough body part, don't worry.

When DD started crawling her knees got really red. Didn't bother her at all. It goes away once they start walking.

Kids are resilient. I wouldn't worry about it. I bet he doesn't even notice it.

Thanks ladies! His skin is just so sensitive and his poor knees look so sore. I'm sure he'll be fine though. He's too excited about his newfound freedom to worry about rugburn anyways. Lol.

They're so dang resilient. My lil man was crawling in the summer too and he'd have bruised, red knees. But it never seemed to phase him.
