Can You Wipe Your Nose Too Much?

The answer is YES! Hannah's nose has been running like a fountain for the last two days. I finally gave her a cloth diaper to use all day. She doesn't blow her nose into the diaper she just sat wiped her nose and cheek over and over until she was raw. Today she started to bleed from all the wiping. So I tried to teach her to dab her nose. It really didn't work. So I took the bloody cloth diaper away and gave her tissues. I really didn't want to harp on her about how she should use a tissue more than once. The poor thing was miserable and barely speaking. I just let it go. After two hours she had gone through a box of tissues.

Tonight we are trying out giving her a very soft washcloth to use to wipe her nose. I just want my baby to feel better.
