Scratching up face

My son keeps scratching the crud out of his face. His tired signal is to pull his ears and rub his eyes he got the socks off his hands and scratched the crud out of his head the other night. He’s really likes to do this while I’m putting him down as well, but the movement keeps him awake, so I’ve been holding his arms down while he drifts off. Has anyone dealt with something like this?

His startle reflex is suddenly really active and bothering him after I set him down too

The scratching yes…we’ve had to keep our boy’s nail soooo short so he doesn’t scratch himself so bad but he still manages to..he hates having things on his hands so we have given up on the mittens.

Have you tried finding a onesie with the mittens? They were a life saver for my son

@Courtney I forgot about those! I’ll give them a shot. Thank you

@Melissa Dawson I’m to scared to get them to short I accident gave my daughter a little infection doing that 😫

@Sarah 🎀 you're welcome! If he manages to get the mittens off though, you can put socks under it. He won't be able to get it off with the mittens on too. When he was extra pissed lol
