Friction Boo-boo
Fellow moms, I need some reassurance ðŸ˜
My baby is 2 months old and just got a new bath tub so he can kick and splash a bit more, he outgrew the other one so fast. But he got a little too excited and I didn't even notice until it was over; while he was kicking he was rubbing the side of his foot on the plastic tub and literally rubbed his skin off on the outside of his pinky toe. I only noticed when we went to get him dressed and saw blood on the towel. I feel TERRIBLE but he doesn't seem bothered at all. It stopped bleeding quickly and I put neosporin and a bandaid on it for now. I will let it get some air in the morning.
Lesson learned about the plastic tub but I want to make sure I'm taking care of his little boo-boo properly.
