3 Month old daughter keeps scratching her face despite us keeping her nails short as possible and filing them?

What else can we do to keep our baby girl from scratching her face? We have baby gloves / mittens, that we used on her when we brought her home from the hospital and for a couple weeks afterwords but she's already 3 months old so isn't that too old for her to be wearing baby gloves / mittens to keep her from scratching her face? What else can we do?3 Month old daughter keeps scratching her face despite us keeping her nails short as possible and filing them?
socks. We put socks on the baby's hands so that they don;t scratch their face.3 Month old daughter keeps scratching her face despite us keeping her nails short as possible and filing them?
those baby gloves that look like mittens are a god send-- my 2 1/2 month old is gaining control of her hands and is just fascinated by her face-- so yes scratches( even with short nails occur)i use the little gloves-- they have ones that have little toys on the end sorta like a puppet show for the child--with my older daughter- when she was a baby - it had a rattle inside the pad of the hand so she could shake her hand and it would entertain her. hopefully the ideas you get on here help! Good luck!
She's not too old for socks. You can cut her nails once a week or more, but be careful not to go too short.
its ok shes not to old to wear the gloves and mittens and if they dont work then put another pair on top and if that doesnt work than put the socks on her hands!


BYE!


GOOD LUCK!

You can cut her nails every 10 days.You can do so when she sleeps.Wearing mittens is only temporary solution from scratching.The best solution is trimming her nails.You should be careful that she should not hurt her eyes.
It isn't too old for the baby mittens. Some babies wear them longer than others. It's normal for her to be scratching her face.
The socks totally work- use baby socks. The scratching thing is normal, she will stop soon. Good luck!
best just using baby scissors file might make them abit rough!but mine all did it wudnt keep there scratch mittens on.she wont do it for ever.x
