    Excema/Scratching?

    DS has had a rash on his forehead for awhile now its red and irritated, we have since stopped using DD shampoo/conditioner and its for the most part disapeared.

    Now heres where it gets tricky....DS sratches his forehead when hes tired to the point where if his nails are remotely showing he will cut himself and bleed. I can never get on top of letting it heal properly as he just starts scratching it again and again!! How do you break this habit with a 5 month old!?

    Little monkey!!!! babies are smart little things so my only suggestion is everytime you catch your son scratching, distract him with a toy etc

    Also, I highly recommend MooGoo for eczema and the like. Check out their website!

    Maybe you can cover his hands with socks/mittens when he gets tired?
