DS has been having issues with his feet get dry and cracked-- even bleeding a little. Will do lotion/ vaseline and then bacd aids and socks. He always takes off his socks and pulls off the band aids in less than 5 minutes and wants more. Not sure what else to try. DS is 2.5 years old. SOme of the feet issues may be due to when he "ran away" barefoot last Wed

We use triple antibiotic ointment on DS's feet at night and then put sock's on. Try it when he's sleeping then he can't get them off. Footed P.J.'s work really well too.

My kids would get dry cracked feet from the footie pajamas because the feet were plastic. We had to cut the feet off! I have yet to find a wonderful foot cream but I know Love knows of a couple of tricks!

When I had cracked feet, I used Aquaphor on it. It worked very well. I did try socks for often as well.

I guess i will just keep trying vaseline and bandaids-- He asks for the band aids and takes them off within minutes-- even if i put socks on him then he ask for more band aids... I did try a sugar scrub (from Mary Kay) that did help some-- i think there is some oil in it too so smoothed it them kept it soft-- i hope it lasts

I second the Aquaphor!! It works well when my hands get cracked from washing them. I wash my hands all day!! I have also used burts bees hand salve.

Spa socks! But they need to have the aloe gel in them. OMG this is amazing and kinda gross. I will sleep with my spa socks on with a ton of lotion (I use Aveda Foot Releif or Burts Bees coconut lotion) The thickets of thick. I will wake up and the skin is literally peeling off. NASTY but amazing. Careful tho if you get up to use the bathroom you slip and slide. I look like a drunk trying to walk in them lol
