I don't remember if it was about the drug, or ... OH! I wonder if it was about oatmeal baths.

A friend of mine said she gives her girls an oatmeal bath. She makes a little pouch of oatmeal out of old pantyhose material and lets it soak in the bath. She said it's the milky stuff from the oatmeal that is soothing to the skin. Her girls grab the pouch and just squeeze the water out of it onto their skin.

I doubt I even have a pair of pantyhose anymore, and couldn't think of what else to use for that purpose, or where even to BUY a pouch type thing.

Actually, I don't think that was exactly my question, because it's not really nurse-ish.

Just go to the store and buy some super cheap pantyhose. It might run you... $1.00?

Well, there's an idea. I bet I could find a pouch, but it would probably cost $5.

hmm, the dresser we have is WHITE .. like shiney white.. it was in the as-is area and it has scratches.

I'm wondering what it would take to paint the drawer faces?

Mind it has to be cheap

Hubby thinks I would need to sand off the shine surface before applying paint.

I can check the DIY sites and see what others have done I guess.

The boys bed is just plain pine.. but I don't think they really care.

It's not a laminate surface? Like melamine?

Exactly.. and you can get REALLY cheap pantyhose at most stores.. Target, and such.

yeah I bet cheapo pantyhose would be less money than a roll of cheesecloth (my other suggestion).

Have you tried the Aveeno colloidal oatmeal bath? I've heard it is very soothing.

OR make your own

don't think so.. on Ikea site it just says acrylic paint, it already has scratches and you can see wood underneath. Actually, I think we added a few more trying to get it in the car

Yeah, she also mentioned cheesecloth, and ... to be quite honest, I don't even know where to BUY cheesecloth!

Oh yeah, the doc suggested Aveeno oatmeal bath! I should look for that!

They sell it just about anywhere, I believe.

hmm, read on another site to use coffee filters. But don't let the water run thru it from the faucet-- it will tear.

Milk in the water helps too. weird huh?

HELP!!! I am looking at the speedo suits. I found one... not terribly attractive, BUT it is only $50. However.... the sizing has me all confounded. I GET that it is a measurement.. But of WHAT???

Bust size?

See... I was wondering that. But did you look at the sizing chart? I dont know, something just seems odd.

I guess I never pay attention to bath stuff, since I'm not supposed to take baths and the boys have had allergic reactions to bubble bath stuff.

The Aveeno stuff sounds like something I should just keep on hand (assuming the boys don't have an allergic reaction of course.)

 

[staley7580]

Never mind.. I found a chart that makes sense.

I used to have a friend who's ds was allergic to EVERYTHING. Her Dr. told her to try that stuff, and it worked out great.

I think this is the kind I had

http://www.amazon.com/Speedo-Aquatic-Moderate-Ultraback-Swimsuit/dp/B000YJ6AWY/ref=pd_sbs_a_9

$40

But I think it was a different cut??
I can't remember if it was the contemporary.. or not.. They have it in Conservative which is cut to hide even more of your upper leg.
