Since dd's started nursery/school and there have been a few cases of nits/lice I've been very paranoid about checking her head every 2-3 weeks and so far she's been clear. Today however I spotted some, used our zapper and some wet combing and killed off 3 of the little blighters. Couldn't see any egg casings so assuming it's a new 'infestation'.
Was going to go out tomorrow and get some Lyclear (?) as I've heard that's quite good. Any experience on that one anybody?
Just my luck that she doesn't catch it during term time but during holidays!!! Only place I can think off is at the childminder's who I've just notified so she can get her other mindee's parents to check as well.
My questions now...
Am I correct that I best check every couple of days now?
I'm going to wash all the bedding on 60 degrees but do I also need to wash cuddly toys that shared the bed with the kids?
DS hasn't got any but they probably ran away when they heard the clippers coming for him his no. 1 haircut today
With school starting on Wednesday... do I need to tell them when school starts or should we be ok?
Any advice/recommendations highly welcome and appreciated
