bitter apple and babies?

**performanceknls** · 05-25-2011, 09:46 PM

Some of you know my son had to have surgery today on his wrist. He had a large mole they wanted to remove and said this was a perfect age to do it. He had to go under Anastasia since he is only 7 months so i was a little worried. Everything came out perfect and he is just fine! He has a bandage on his wrist and he is not suppose to bother it. It is like saran wrap but like a bandaid, anyway he started sucking on it. Sooooo I put a little bit of bitter apple on it and it worked! lol I am a bad mom

so glad to hear your son is OK, and thats a riot about the bitter apple. He will probably never bite his nails for the rest of his life, lol. Good work!

nah thats a good thing not being a bad mom at all, they have simialr stuff that people use on finger nails to keep kids from biting them it doesnt harm them at all. Hope he recovers soon , having your kid go under is so stressfull even in small events like this . My daughter had her tonsils taken out and I was so stressed especially when she actually went under.

He wold up from his nap and sucked his bandage off! I had to go and get more bandages then cut 2 holes in a sock and make a glove. The sock worked but what a little Houdini! The Doctor said he would be too young to get his bandage off but Justin is a good problem solver.

Glad he is doing well, and sooo glad the Bitter Apple worked for you.
I tried it with my dogs.. they liked it

If all else fails, a soft E-collar helps too.

**angelbaby** · 05-26-2011, 05:02 PM

I dont think an E collar will work on her son lol ,,, just my guess

**performanceknls** · 05-26-2011, 11:57 PM

LMAO that is what I need a baby e collar so he cannot reach his hand!!! He has not touched it since I put the sock on but what a little stinker!

awe ,, Im happy to hear that everything went okay , it is a scary thing when little ones have to go under . LOL @ the bitter apple , I would have never thought of that . When I was little my mom put vinegar on my finger nails so I wouldnt bite them . So no you are not a bad mom you are a good mom just trying to keep your baby safe and out of harms way =]

LOL @ the baby e collar , this day in age im really not suprised they dont have it , my sister has a leach for her kid why not a e-collar lol

Ahahaha poor Justin, im imagining him with an E collar.

**ames** · 05-27-2011, 01:23 AM

hahaha I bet a small would fit him.

I tried on Mel's donut collar once for

and giggles and totally made me claustrophobic, lol! too bad though, totally worked and Would have been a GREAT addition for helping me stay on my diet, too bad the looks I get might get me committed lol.

Wait til he learns to take off his diaper, and you find him in his crib in the morn with no diaper. haha

The other day, I was out of the room, and Andrew was watching Zach but was talking to a friend. He turned around and Zachary was standing there, dancing to the music playing... with no diaper lmao He was dancin nakie.
