My 6 month old daughter badly rubs her eyes when she is sleepy.. Which leaves red marks on the area she rubs. How can I make her stop doing so. Is there any smooth way of of leering the baby go sleep.

At this age your baby will do these things by instinct, so it is very difficult to stop her from doing so. You will have to be extra alert and keep removing her hands each time she tries to rub her eyes. Just as Chetna mentioned, I used to hold my babies very close to me and make them sleep on my arm. I would hold on to their arms in such a way that they were always in my embrace, so their hand was not free and they could not rub their eyes. Also, make your daughter wear mittens and change them frequently. And yes, do trim the nails every week to avoid any scratching.
