Strange Problem !

Ana+V

Dear Mums..

 First - Merry Christmas to you an' your loved ones : ) 

I have a strange problem with my little one who is about 6.5 months old...

he takes 2 feeds during night. One around 12 am and the other around 4 am after which he goes back to sleep quite easily in seconds. But since last few nights after the 4 am feed - even though he wants to sleep, he is scratching his head very very harsly... I need to put my hand to protect his head , other wise he wakes up with so many marks on his forehead ( his nails are very sharp - mittens dont help, they are just superr sharp !  )

- he doesnt have dry skin as his skin / scalp are well oiled / washed...we use mustela body products

- if i wake him up completely by switching on the lights / talking to him , he stops scratching  ....but as soon as he back asleep - he starts again !

- his stomach is full / diaper is okay ...

 - Also, no such problems any other time of the day / night ! 

TIA

Thats..interesting. I'd start by cutting his nails every night before bed. I'd also call your pedi and ask about this as soon as you can.

Have you changed detergents or anything?
