[tri-med] Hurtin' fingers

Claire has been biting her fingers... these darn new teeth are taking some 
getting used to.
She still isn't holding toys for teething and she is used to putting her 
hands in her mouth to soothe herself... and you know how sharp those teeth 
are!
 Right now, we've put socks on herhands (doubled them up) to cut the 'blow' 
of the biting... her thumb sucking is also creating problems with her hands 
getting torn up esp between thumb and index finger. The sock has been a bit 
of a deterance (sp?), and I'm hoping to be able to take them off soon. After 
bath time, I put hydrogen peroxide on her hand to clean them up, then the 
sock goes back on... I was using gentian violet, but everything got so 
purple (and I mean everything).
 Any quick and easy (aka painless) solutions would be helpful.
 Debbie, mom to Claire (t18 2yo)
