Guest guest Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 I look forward to hearing about this too. Zoe has had dbb for 3 days and is starting to get a blister. I am taking it off now and putting mohare (sp?) on. We keep it tight, can see the dents in her feet, but I guess not tight enough. I think we are getting the hang of pushing the foot way in too!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 We use the blister band aid made by Band-Aid. They are a good size and stay on for a few days. Kind of expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
