Baby scratching

My baby is constantly scratching her face and her head in her sleep! I use scratch mits and the built in ones over the top, her nails are never long i check them everyday. She always manages to get her fingers out somehow and scratch herself really bad. Can someone please help or give advice

Buy scratch sleeves not mitts so she canโ€™t get her hands out x

I use the nail filer not the clippers so thereโ€™s no sharp edges at all, do this once a week and they will stay dull and short! (: (idk if youโ€™re already using it, I bought it in place of the nail clippers)

Google scratch sleeves. They have sleeves or tops and they can't take them off. But check her skin and see if it is not dry or itchy. There is a reason why she is doing it ao fiercely.

@๐”พ๐•š๐•ค๐•–๐•๐•๐•– yes I was going to say the same, better to treat the itch than just try and stop the scratching

Looks like bab has patches of cradle cap here get some coconut oil and leave it to soak in for a few hrs itโ€™ll lift the cradle cap from the scalp then use a fine tooth comb and comb it all out.. should help with the scratching my LG was the same .. once it was gone the scratching stopped xxxx

@๐”พ๐•š๐•ค๐•–๐•๐•๐•– she has eczema but unfortunately no creams are helping it so just trying to do what i can to stop the scratching from causing as much harm but thank you i will try the sleeves x

@Leah-Shannon thank you, baby has eczema on the sides of her head which i have cream for but doesnt seem to work just trying to find a solution to the scratching as well xx

Have you already been prescribed steroid creams? Try discussing it with your GP

@๐”พ๐•š๐•ค๐•–๐•๐•๐•– they said they werent able to prescribe anything for her and for me to just use baby aveeno, which i didnt think was right at the time so i think i need to follow it up and ask again
