Banana for a Splinter?

21:03 Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »
I found the coolest little tip for us newbie parents from the site www.andreacandee.com. I'll quote her tip. "Wondering how to use that banana for a splinter? Simply cut a piece of the ripened peel, tape it on, pulp side to the splinter, leaving it in place overnight. In the morning, the enzymes in the ripe banana will have pulled the splinter to the surface. Deeply embedded splinters may require another night or two of fresh peel. Just think of the memories your child will have when they’re adults!"

Now I won't have to be the mean mommy who holds my little man down with a sterilized needle to get out a splinter like when I was a child. Ummm that hurt! ALOT!!

I was searching this website for natural remedies for my coughing, sneezing, bugger-pickin', snot-lickin' son who always seems to have something going on once a month in the winter especially. All I got outa this site was to get to the store and buy some onions and it'll all be history. I probably won't be doing most of this stuff, but here is my research if you have an older child who tells you in English what is going on with them. I hope it will get really cold soon to kill all the germs in the atmosphere. Maybe our cold and flu season won't be so bad. I better get my flu shot this week!
