Baby hands smell ?

I could have written this myself! My little boy also clenches his fist unbelievably tight so I now use cotton buds to clean the fluff out everyday and of course then wash them but I can’t say it particularly takes the smell away but I don’t want to use fragranced soap so young x

Same! I used baby shampoo yesterday for the first time just because of this, water wasn't cutting it, it's like it needed something stronger to remove weeks worth of saliva and sweat residue

I found that the smell was because my LB was sucking his hands at night. He's also started it doing it during the day now too

I have the same issue, it is as said, because they’re sucking their hands and they get wet and sweaty and start to smell. Your little one might be entering early teething. I have my little one’s mits on very often too as she scratches her face a lot. I just try to clean with warm water and cotton buds daily between fingers to get the fluff out and cotton wool/water wipes for rest of hands, then I use Johnson’s top to toe wash with a sponge when bathing twice a week.

Oh yes the cheesy hand smell 😂. On the days he doesn't have a bath, I just wipe his hands down with gentle soap and warm water on a cotton wool pad.

Yes, hands stink! I find it quite satisfying picking all the fluff out. I'm giving her more hands free time now too, especially as she now likes to aggressively suck on her hand as a self soothe method

I’ve used baby shampoo too and even that doesn’t seem to help! Can’t wait til the smell goes away 🥺🥺

my little one does this too! She has reflux too so she always has little spit ups that smell of sick so think this is making her hands worse too

Yep, can confirm, it doesn't help 😂 I was so happy her hands smelled nice for a bit, but yeah would need to wash a few times a day to really keep them clean
