My 4 month old has awful eczema in his cheeks. He scratches in his sleep and wakes up in blood soaked sheets! We saw another doctor today to get prescription creams but I want to cover his hands at night too. Right now he has socks on his hands, but im worried about him taking them off and being in his mouth at night. Also, he sucks his thumb to sstn so I'm afraid of how often ill be up tonight....
What I'm really wondering is if any brands make bigger pjs with the hand covers attached. Hes a big guy so we need 12 month pjs. I heard old navy and baby gap but I'm not sure if they go to 12 months and I'm not seeing on the website.
Poor little guy..eczema sucks. Like spooko said, I'd probably stick with the socks on his hands and maybe cut little holes out for his thumbs to be accessible to him still? Thats my best guess!
I'm not really certain how the hand covers are going to work if you want him to be able to suck his thumb. I'd probably stick with the socks if it were me. Especially if they're the kind that are longer and go up his arm a ways.
Sorry I was rambling so i wasn't as clear as I wanted to be. I'm more concerned that he might get the sock off and into his mouth and choke. The thumb sucking thing is just an obstacle in all this. But good news! He slept through the night no problem. No scratching, no trying to suck his thumb. It's actually the most soundly he's slept in a while

These could be an option for you

Bless this post. My LO has been scratching herself raw too and she definitely would not keep socks on her hands. These look awesome.

Those are def an option! Thanks!
