I have used it severely chapped lips and steam burn. Relief from the dryness on the lips and a staving off of worrisome cracking was very welcome; very fast.
The burn was treated immediately after a cool water soak and I was able to sleep that night quite comfortably. Used it for probably two days throughout the day.
That’s what I know and have done. Don’t know the why / how of it all.
Yup. That one! We used it to sweeten our second cup of weekend morning coffee! 
Random question: And suggestion for a name for our granddaughter to call me? We had come up with “nana” but that’s her word for banana (and I suspect her parents also refer to a banana as a nana, so thats confusing), so whenever we facetime, even if DH is not present, she looks at me quizzically and says “papa?” (that was her first word— DH says she is in the will ;))
I am not a fan of “Mimi”, and grandma is already taken by the other grandmother. Not liking bubbe or savta either. Maybe I’ll just be a banana?? Help!!
Grandmere, Marmee, Gigi? My MIL insisted DS call her Nanny. Any fun sounding ethnic names in your heritage? I agree no bubbe; I would never answer to that. Not that I expect to ever have the issue at the rate DS is going socially.
Hmm… will see if she can say those. (Am also not a fan of Gigi, though). The ethnic ones are bubbe or savta and that would be a no…
Was nanny awful? Its close to the “nana” we’d thought of as a family, and maybe can be distinguished from the banana…
I hope for Memé (Memmay.) It’s common around here from the French Canadian influence, I think. Gentler than some other choices, to me. Or maybe Memma. Not ready to deal with this.
Thats sweet. Of course her parents are mama and dada at present. But thats different enough, I think, though it may end up becoming “mimi”, which I am not a big fan of.
G ma?
My kids called their grandmothers “Mama Marion” and “GrandSharon.” Not their real names but close enough that you get the point. These names were the ones requested by the grandmothers.
Too late to edit. G ma and G pa
I was torn between Grandma and Nana(myfirstname). DD preferred Grandma - it is the name she used for both Grandmothers (we used surnames to reference - as in I was talking to GrandmaLastname last week…)
All that to say: Keep Nana if you like it and add firstname until the cutie can differentiate food from favorite person 
It won’t be long, and you’ll get to be Nana to the future grandkids too.
I anticipate the kid will only be saying “nana” for “banana” for a short time. If you want Nana, take it.
The grandchildren of one friend call both grandmothers Grandma. But with the hair color in front. That is, the hair color the boys imagine. They’re still little, so let’s hope this fades.
@Jugulator20 : I think I had a Sunbeam for 20 years. It finally died, and I bought a Hamilton Beach in 2014 (https://www.amazon.com/Hamilton-Beach-74250-Carve-Electric/dp/B00004X12T/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1546807738&sr=1-1&keywords=Hamilton+Beach+74250) which is still doing just fine. It does not get a lot of use, but it was only $20 and that still appears to be the price.
I was Nana to start with, and just never felt like a nana. When I asked myself if that’s what I wanted to be called for the rest of my life, the answer was no, so I started trying out other names. I eventually settled on GG (she has 2 other grandmas that are called Grandma firstname, and I didn’t want that). 14 month old GD has said GG when prompted.
Try out some names to see what feels right for you. If you really want to be Nana, then stick with it.
Ironically GD calls both of her parents “dada”. She only says “mommy” when she wants to be nursed.
See #481 & 482 on the grandparent thread, which covers a lot of this same territory: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/1898065-the-grandparent-thread-p33.html
No, but to me it doesn’t have positive connotations.
Lots of good ideas. Well hopefully FaceTime and maybe I’ll hold up a banana!
My sister goes by Nona, which is the Italian version on Nana. We both called our closer grandmother Gammy when we were little. Apparently we tried to say Grammy but couldn’t manage the R.
@jym626 I think if you want to be called Grandma then that’s what you should be called. My nieces have three Grandmas (BIL’s parents divorced and his Dad remarried). Each woman is Grandma when they are with her but at home each is referred to as Grandma Firstname. Your son and DIL would be the ones to teach the differentiation. While there may be some minor initial confusion, kids really do adapt quickly.
