Parker has an encrusted nose this morning, and I can see where his lips and nose are getting red from all the rubbing. I'm saving my political question for later (if ever), so here's my question for moms and dads: What do you do to give your little ones relief?
I wonder whether the encrusted snot on his upper lip is protecting or irritating the delicate skin underneath. I put a little chapstick on his lips this morning, which as you can imagine wasn't very effective. I put a little Aveeno Baby Lotion on the tip of his nose, though he thought I was trying to give him something to eat.
He looks pretty pitiful. What can I do to protect his face from chapping?
The himidifier in his room should help some. He won't stay still long enough for me to put saline drops in his nose.

I smear Walmart generic clear A&D ointment (very cheap) on Charlie's nose and lips while I have him on the changing table. I also put it on chapped cheeks, and on the other set of cheeks, too. Good stuff.
I use chapstick and Vaseline. If it's really runny you can try suctioning it with a bulb syringe. He probably won't like it, but it will take it out of his nose instead of it running and irritating him.
