Face Scratching

When did your baby stop scratching their face? My 3 month old still always scratches her face especially behind the ears and around her eyes. I always feel scared that she'd hurt her eyes. Is it just random movements or because her eyes/ears are itchy? I don't want to use mittens and I cut her nails often but she managed to make some cuts on her face once in a while...

It’s common for baby to scratch his face. My lo is already 7 months old and also likes to scratch face or thighs. It’s baby nature to explore.

Mine too.. My baby is 3 months old as well. I just let her explore.. As long as you cut her nails, it's fine.

Mine scratch his ears and eyes when he’s sleepy.
