Aww, ang mahirap talaga pag nakakalmot ang babies!
Pero momshie, better to check with your pedia muna bago mag-apply ng kahit ano, lalo na sa sensitive area like the nose, gusto natin sigurado na safe at hindi magiging mas irritated pa. Kung may infection signs like pus, swelling, o fever, go to the clinic na agad ah.
In the meantime, I keep my baby's nails short and smooth (file them gently!), at naka-mittens or light long sleeves para hindi nakakalmot. A few of us moms din nag-try ng keeping hands extra clean so kung may accidental scratch, less chance of infection.
Let me know anong sabi ng doctor okay?
