Re: Newborn footprints

[Michelle Drew]

With my daughters, I used 11 different coloured ink pads, hence badly stained feet for a day or two... :o)   We shared purple, pink, green, yellow, silver footprints (to mention a few) with closest family and friends.  They were framed and are still treasured by all that received them, and are often commented on.  Beats plain black ink, feet down!  ;o)   Michelle (2nd year BMid, in NZ)     PS I have never known in my experience of any allegies in my children or the children of family and friends. I am curious if anyone has experience with newborn footprinting. I understand that those who practise this use a standard inkpad. Is this a common practise or a have I just stumbled across a lone practise? Does anyone see any potential allergens created through use of the ink?? Alesa
