Knee Pads for Crawlers?

DD (7.5 months) wont' stop crawling We have hardwood floors in most of the
house so her poor little knees aren't in danger of rug burn but they are sooo
red and I'm afraid they are going to start bothering her. Has anybody bought
those knee pads for babies? Where (online) can I get them? Used something
from home to protect little knees? With DD #1, she was crawling in cold
weather so she was always in pants, but it is already so hot and summer has not
even begun, so pants is not an option for her hot little body.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Your house is that hot? Even in Cuba we put pants on Charlotte in the
house (the A/C made it cold enough).

Sorry, but pants was going to be my suggestion.

IMO, let her be. She'll complain if it bothers her and if that happens, put
her in pants.

You can cut the feet off some socks to pull up to her knees. I've never
tried it, but I've heard it from a bunch of people.

I was going to suggest that, too. But if you want to buy something, One Step
Ahead sells knee protectors:

We used those terry cloth wrist bands used for tennis or
other sports. Had tons around the house. They seemed to
work.

We used wrist bands or cut the ankle section of sport socks for their
knees.

DD (now 11 months and walking more than crawling) never crawled on hands and
knees except on the bed. We actually didn't know she *could* crawl that way
until she crawled across the bed. She has an odd little 3-limbed scoot,
which has both palms, one foot, and a thigh touching the floor. We figured
it was because hands and knees was uncomfortable on the hardwood floors. If
your DD has sore knees, she'll find some other way to get around.

My second one insisted on crawling up and down the concrete driveway
instead of on the lawn because apparently she didn't like the way the
lawn felt. Eventually she started leaving bloody knee prints. She
never complained or stopped crawling either. Didn't faze her. Some
folks just have a high threshold of pain from early on.

Much later, when she was about 13, I was walking back from the pool
and I saw that her back was bloody. She'd skinned all the skin of the
tops of each vertebrae doing a back flip off the diving board.

Did you put her in knee pads?
