Favorite Boo-boo Cleaner?

Soap and water.
My boys didn't do bandaids either,I am not a fan myself. Neosporin just kind of rubs off on everything. I found just regular ol' soap and water does the trick.

Honestly, soap and water is the best cleaner. Then we use MelaGel to help it heal and it soothes.

I have to disagree (re neosporin), first soap and water, second hydrogen peroxide solution, third neosporin, fourth bandage.

good old bactine. its ouchless : ) i believe they have a spray.

NEVER EVER use peroxide or rubbing alcohol. it takes away the skins ability to heal. best thing is mild soap and water! momma of 2 and nurse

I use soap (non-antibacterial, usually plain Ivory soap) and water to clean it, or just water depending. I only put bandaids if it's bleeding or if it's in a spot that gets hit over and over.
Family is allergic to all those Neosporin and stuff. Allergic to adhesive in bandaids unless we buy speical kinds. Allergic to anti-bacterial soaps too.
The one and only time I had a child get anything infected/inflamed etc was when my first was really little. I used all the "gunk" like you're "supposed" to because I didn't know any better. 3 kids later and they've never had anything get infected like that again.
I actually have scars from not the cut that I got but from the bandaid that was on it. I had a cut in a spot that kept getting hit and kept re-bleeding so I had to keep a bandaid on it for several days before it healed enough. I would change the bandaid but I actually had spots that started bleeding from the reaction to the bandaid.
Very rarely I've put a little peroxide on something really super dirty but that's it. I'm not sure why it says to not use under 2.
Basics are sometimes really the best.

bactine :) my son freaks out with a band aid on! he scratches at it and cries until its off, so i dont bother anymore :)

I've never read the bottle on hydrogen peroxide. I use that for my 3 yr old, and have used it for at least a year. I put it on a q-tip and dab the area/scrape.

I also sometimes spray the neosporin spray "to go" on him. I keep this in my purse.

Other than those two, we just use the foaming soap and water. I know what you're saying about the bandaids. My son won't keep them on either.

Gentle soap and water. Neosporin and a band aid if it needs to be kept clean--or overnight, then air it out.

bactine. they say not to use peroxide because it damages tissue. R.

I'm not sure if you are breastfeeding or not, but breastmilk has some wonderful healing benefits as well. When my kids were little, I would wash any wounds with soap and water and then dab a little breastmilk on it a couple times a day. My daughter had conjunctivitis when she was bout 6 months old and her pedi actually suggested breastmilk to help clear it up. Works wonders for healing.

Now I keep the Neosporin spray & go with me all the time because my 3 year old son is always running and tripping and scrapping up his knees. It doesn't leave the residue like the ointment, but still disinfects the wound.

I used to just use a wet wash cloth to get it cleaned up and then put Neosporin on it and a bandaid. Put the bandaid on it and then put leggins on her so she can't pull the bandaid off. You might be able to use Bactine, that is what my parents used on me but I wonder if it stings. You can put it on and then blow on the area so it doesn't sting. Or, put her in the tub and just rinse the area then apply the neosporin and bandaid.

I guess I've never had one that I needed more than soap and water. I put A&D on a knee scab once to keep it softer, so the scab wouldn't crack (although I think baby knees are more pliable than adult knees and this may not have been an issue!!)
