I suspect that's a good thing Rickman, he'll be soothing it himself.
beside if you put a palster or anything on it he'll still put it in his mouth....yuk!
Here's my babd mum moment....well one of them....last year on our hols, we were on the beach (the day we arrived) and he started screaming....I mean really going for it.......no-one and nothing could calm him.....it went on for ages, and we had to leave the beach because people were staring ( and trying to help too, it was that bad) anyway it wasn't until later that night when I got him ready for bed that I found a HUGE wasp sting on the back of his leg. He'd been sitting in his pram atthe time and a bastard wasp had flown under his leg, up his short and did it's worst. I just thank my lucky stars that he isn't allergic to wasp stings because if he a had of been who know what could have happened to him because we didn't know he'd been stung.
Hope your little mans's finger is better soon.
