Hair Tourniquets- What Every Parent Should Know

Written by fibromommy

19 November 2008

I clearly remember the day I thought that one of my boys would lose a toe! My twins were about six weeks old, and my mother-in-law was visiting from Alaska. She was bathing Caleb in the sink when she noticed that one of his toes was turning blue! Upon closer examination, we realized that a piece of hair had become wound around two of his toes so tightly that it was cutting off the circulation. In fact, the strand was embedded so deeply that we could only see the cut lines in his toes and the hair stretched between the two toes. Holding Caleb carefully so that he wouldn't wiggle, we managed to slice the hair between his toes with a small knife and slowly unwind it. It was difficult to know if we had retrieved all the hair, but fortunately the blood started coming back into the toes and the blue color disappeared. I was so grateful to my mother-in-law for noticing the problem because it could have resulted in the loss of one or two toes! Even though I had already successfully steered two other children through infancy, I had never heard of this phenomenon or been warned of the possibility.

No Ban on OTC Children's Cold Medicines, FDA Advisors Say

No Ban on OTC Children's Cold Medicines, FDA Advisers Say Oct 3, 2008 | Parker Waichman Alonso LLP There will be no ban on children’s over-the-counter cold medicines, Food & Drug Administration (FDA) advisers said yesterday, despite pleas from pediatricians that the agency take such action. While the FDA panel said that the safety and effectiveness of children’s cold needs more study, they were concerned that an all-out-ban would do more harm than good.
