raw knees from starting to crawl?

[speckledfrog]

W mostly scoots around the house but he's working on crawling and his poor little knees are all red and raw. What can I do to help him out? Or is it something that doesn't really bother him and I need to get over? FWIW, our house is mostly tile and hardwood, with a rug in the living room.

I'd put pants on him but that's about it.

i just put L in leggings pretty much nonstop. and reinforced the knees of some of her stuff with patches.

I'm aging myself here (in Nest/Bump years) but I put my kids in BabyLegs. They were a godsend and I still use them now for layering and various other purposes. My kids are 4 and 5.

Hmm. Seems pretty obvious, doesn't it! It's so hot here I hadn't even thought of pants. Nor do I have pants for him. Shopping? Don't mind if I do!

Yeah, I always had the girls in pants when they were crawling inside the house, even during the summer.

BabyLegs legwarmers were DD's best friend when she started scooting/crawling. You can get them in lightweight material, too, so that they're not too hot. The legwarmers are nice b/c it's not one more thing to unsnap/take off for diaper changes.

Baby legs or pants

Pants or a big band-aid under pants if they are bleeding.

Babylegs! Or just cut the arms off of some long-sleeved shirts and thrown 'em on.

Mine started crawling when it was cold out so she wore pants but the tops of her feet got rug burn from the carpet. I put Vaseline on in the mornings and desitin with socks at night. You could try the same under crappy pants (it stains)
