ahh them little hands always busy scratching, well if you have my probem with the mittens coming off then get grow suits with the fod over sleeves i have to use these as my bub gets mittens off from sucking her hands and general wiggling but she cant unfold the sleeve mittens that wondersuits have. also keeping on top of ong nails i find it hard to cut her nais while she wiggles so i wait unti shes aseep and do it.

Try putting mittens on him so as to prevent too much damage to his face.

All the best

They have baby gloves designed just for that purpose and they are available anywhere.

Dont know if you use those bonds suit but if u do if you look on the cuffs of the long sleeved ones u will find that they are double cuffed just filp the cuffs over the little hands and problem solved

same as the others mittens or socks, you will find the scraches will go with in a day tou could also squirt a bit of breast milk on them (if your feeding) it acts as baby detol

congrats on baby!!!

If you cant find any mittens, little socks will do the same job. Good luck!

you can buy little mittens in some of the department stores and baby shops, they do the trick.

U will be AMAZED at how quickly babies skin heals. Have u also tired to bite his nails short? This will get them to grow back softer and shouldn't scratch so badly. Again though the mitts, socks and BONDS suits work great

Best of luck and congrats
