It does happen few and far between now, but was a big problem when he was much younger. The onesies with the foldover cuffs worked great for us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960288 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:42:36 +0000 Mrs. Polish 960288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought we were over it until he gave himself a long one this morning. He's 5mo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960126 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:05:01 +0000 Pepper 960126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gah, looks like I need to start checking his nails a few times a day!</p> <p>@MrsRoo: yes, the onesies work pretty well for us! I may need to buy more.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960104 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:01:37 +0000 MrsRoo 960104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 months and still scratching. Do you have any of the onesies/gowns with the attached mitten cuffs? They were the on,y thing that keeps her from scratching. She wears them to bed because she tends to scratch at night. She can't rip them off like normal mittens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960098 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 15:00:24 +0000 Raindrop 960098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto to what @rattles: said. :)</p> <p>Try different mittens... I think I ordered every kind of mitten out there and finally found a few that were useful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960091 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:59:00 +0000 LuLu Mom 960091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>her soothing techinque at almost 10 months is still to rub/strach at her hair and face, so you can always tell when I leave a sharp nail in the mornings :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960040 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:44:54 +0000 rattles 960040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's 7.5 months and still does if I'm slacking on her baby manicures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960030 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:42:58 +0000 hilsy85 960030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ehh LO is 9 months and he scratched his nose the other day hard enough to leave a small cut...I just try to stay on top of his nails! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-baby-stop-scratching-their-face#post-960022 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:41:35 +0000 Pepper 960022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has some gas issues, and when he gets gas pains, he will claw at his face. He left a real scratch that bled today! I don't even understand how he's doing it... I cut and file his nails daily now. I don't know what to do, he rips mittens and socks off of his hands. When do they outgrow this? I feel so bad!! </p>
