    Growth depends on temperature, food, and other environmental factors. Be patient.

    Pebbles make the tank a lot harder to keep clean.

    you would be washing her too lots certainly. toddlers epidermis has organic emollients that save them moisturized and despite in case you do might desire to maintain that section clean, you moreover might might desire to maintain it moisturized. no rely if it particularly is amazingly chapped i might positioned a splash smear of neosporin ointment at the back of her ears while she is going down for the nighttime (so she will have the skill to no longer complication it) I say neosporin because of fact it particularly is an antibacterial ointment which will help velocity the healing technique so as that the section won't get contaminated. while it is not undesirable the desire arises to in basic terms try a splash vaseline or aquaphor at nighttime to form a barrier against her nighttime sweat. it quite is throughout-the-counter stuff.
