Heya! As parents we only want the best for our children - and I’ll admit that I find myself worrying to a point of carrying out preventive measures. Truth is, exploring is exactly what they’re doing when they’re doing these things :) the scratches usually go away in a jiffy as babies’ skin heals amazingly well and fast. I find the mittens don’t help especially when they’re soaked in saliva and all baby’s doing is spreading saliva all over the face 🤣 which causes more acne 🤦🏻♀️ Don’t fret mama, this will go away in a month or so. In the meantime, don’t be too hard on yourself. I get that you’re trying to prevent your baby from harming himself - but it’s not intentional :) try giving him some stimulation like playing or singing with him. Maybe a baby gym or give him more tummy time - might work. Take care :)
