I'm Currently Feeling:  | Scratching and pulling hair
When Grace is getting frustrated and crying she sometimes scratches herself, usually on her face and she's also started pulling the hair a bit on the back of her head. Her nails aren't long anymore but she still leaves a red mark where she scratches. Is there anything I can try to stop her from doing it? Whenever I see her go to scratch herself I stop her and hold her hands away from her face. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Yeah, tried scratch mittens and she just pulls them off. She has tiny hands and so they fall off really easily |

| Jack still does this when he is waking up or if he is tired & ratty - I thought he would have stopped by now  I can't put scratch mittens on him as he is too old & it would drive him nuts!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Jessica pulls her own hair too doesnt help she was born with longish hair. I have also tried the scratch mittens but she just pulls them off. However I did find some babygrows that have built in mittens things, you just turn over the cuffs and they form a mitten. Not sure what size the babygrows go up to as the ones I have are for tiny baby up to 7lb think I seen then in newborn size too. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Caitlyn scratches her hands and my face occasionally, but it's more hair pulling now. Answer to that problem, hair is always up!!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | mothercare do baby grows (sleepsuits) that have cuffs that fold over into mits. I believe next do them too. |
