Newborn footprints

[P & A Koziol]

Dear List 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??
