Yes it does work.. they come out clean! lol
Assuming she has the chickens.. then she would be fine having a bath whether covered in spots or not.. a bath with oats in dries them and stops them itching.. esp if you add bicarb.. I hope you haven't left her smelly just cos she has dots?!..
Bathing a non-infested child with an infested child is great.. spreads like wild fire in the tub!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Your right they do get forgotten. No one is allowed to give DD a joint Christmas and birthday present. It has to be seperate and in birthday wrapping paper as well.

People had the nerve to send christmas cards & put 'oh & Happy Birthday to DS as well' as if he was an afterthought, used to upset me when he was little because he didn't understand why they couldn't be bothered with him.
Parties were another issue because people were always busy or going away, so it either had to be a week before or a week after. And try finding 'age' birthday cards in December, they put them all away for the xmas ones:mad:
Sorry that turned into a bit of a whinge....just to add now he is grown up he isn't bothered by it......he is old enough to remind people:rotfl:“Cancer has my body but not my spirit, and I’ll continue to make jokes, not so much about cancer, but in spite of it” Irwin Barker0 -

what i meant was will it help make her sleepy?!!!! she is not itching much now and scabs are falling off!!!
and no she is not smelly(unless she has been on the sprouts!!!), she has been having a bath with simple soap(pretty much like me(the soap, not the sprouts!))0 -
toochoosey the lavender may actually help them heal as it's a natural antiseptic - it's one of the only essential oils that you can use neat on skin. I use it for adult spots and it really soothes them.
Just read your post - yes it should help her to sleep too - they put lavender in massage oils to help aid relaxation in adults.Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170
