Hair tournequettes are a thing! Be aware!

@tecumsehmaverick I shed a lot of hair, so at every diaper change I always make sure to check my infant sons penis to make sure there aren't any hairs wrapped around it...I've heard so many horror stories..for some reason I never thought to check his toes! Luckily he's never had any wrapped around anything, but I will remember to check every so often now.

@inorth It can also happen from doing laundry. Your hair can get tucked into the toes of the onesies and wrap around their toes at any time. When I took a Safe Sitter course at 13, a decade ago now, this was mentioned, and I never forgot. When I started nannying 2 years ago, I always made sure to check their toes at diaper change

@cifaclub Yea, I'm always pulling my hairs off his clothes! Never thought to check socks, but I will also do this now.

@cifaclub I was told to wash all baby clothes inside out for exactly this reason!

@cifaclub This happened to a pair of socks I didn’t check and when I was nursing my son his socks were wet from being outside I took them off and a hair spider had wrapped around two toes. I now check footies and socks

@inorth Same here. I keep a lint roller in the diaper table so I can remove the hair from my shirt before I change him. I’m cursed with having a ton of hair.

@inorth Someone said to check their neck too!!

@tecumsehmaverick People recommend keeping Nair on hand to help remove it, since cutting is so precarious (with that said, I still do not have Nair on hand. Hope I don’t need it )

@imepv7 I saw another thread recently on here which said the ER used nair to remove it. You best believe I got some.

@imepv7 Really? Wouldn't Nair be a bit abrasive on newborn skin? Legitimately asking, I've never heard that offered as a solution
