My DD (18 months) has some dirt in her belly button. Not sure how to remove it as it's caught up in the creases. Any ideas?

Use a damp cotton ear bud. Be gentle though.

Happy belly button cleaning!

My ds gets this. I let him soak in a warm bath for a while while I sing (terribly!) to him, til it gets all mushy (yuk), then it comes out quite easily with a cotton bud or sometimes just with a towel. Yuk!

A bit of baby oil or almond oil will loosen it. Leave in for a day, then a put her in warm bath and gently clean out.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give the baby oil and warm bath a go.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
