Re: I need advice please

[Guest guest]

Jen, this is just my opinion but I think that it is perfectly

normal. The same thing happens with Owen. It even happens to me if

I happen to be wearing my shoes all day long - when I take my shoes

and socks off to go to bed, it usually takes a few minutes for them

to regain their colour.

Hi Jen,

My little girl Grace has been in her Markell shoes (buckles inside as

well) for 2 months now wearing 23/7. Her little feet are also red on

the tops when they come out of the shoes...it dosen't seem to cause

her any discomfort. I just give her little tootsies a nice wash in

the bath and a good rub down when she gets her hour out. I would

think if they were uncomfortable, they would definately let us know!

LOL! I know my little one would!

Jen--

In his last pair of shoes(Markells), Jonah's feet were almost always bright red

when we took his shoes off. I think it is in part due to poor circulation and

mostly to not being able to move his feet around really at all in the FAB. It

took about 5 minutes for the redness to go away. My husband always rubs Jonah's

feet as soon as he takes the shoes off(it's a very sweet thing: rubs

Jonah's feet and names the bones as he touches them--and how many 16 month old

kids can say " metatarsal " ?). I've always thought that helps get the blood

circulating a little better.

Seems like these kids are always giving us something else to be anxious about,

doesn't it? It makes me ever so grateful for this group!
