My boy has eczema on his cheeks and he likes to scratch his cheeks especially when he is sleepy or when he wakes up. There were 2 times that he scratched his face badly, bleeding and deep wound. He is 3 month and 1 week old and I still put on mittens for him when he is going to sleep. However, am afraid that this will hinder his grabbing skills. Any suggestions?

Mittens will only affect her motor skill when he's awake. Putting on mittens during sleep time only to prevent him from scratching his face is what I did to my daughter had eczema. One more method here to try is to swaddle him when going to sleep.
