A saviour for baby's damaged, itchy skin, 1 Feb. 2018

Was a little dubious when this arrived as the silk mitts didn't feel quite as silky as I was expecting, and honestly baby's face was in quite a mess by this point. I was at my wit's end having tried to deal with his face eczema for several weeks, and we could never quite get on top of it because of his rubbing and scratching. There'd been many nights of very poor sleep for everyone as we battled to stop him tearing up his skin even more, and I'd been in tears a few times when our efforts turned out to be in vain. Socks on the hands were doing as much damage as his nails at this point, plus he'd learned to pull them off.

So I guess I was hoping they'd feel super slippery. BUT THEY WORKED. His rubbing didn't cause any further damage and we were finally able to give his skin a break and treat the eczema properly. We used them for a couple of weeks until the problem was fully under control, and haven't had to resort to them again.

Only downside was they got to...

Absolute life saver....., 8 Jun. 2017

A must if you have the same problem we had. Our little one has eczema on his cheek one side and near his ear the other side of his face so at night would go to sleep scratching on both sides.... we used mitts but they come off easily and we then used socks but he figured out how to pull them off too and the material would stop him scratching but would still rub his skin..... got these scratch sleeves and it's the best money I've spent. He still rubs but the silky material means he does no damage at all to his face - you can barely tell he has any skin concerns they are just wonderful and he is comfortable in them and they cannot come off over night. I bought his current size and next size up in preparation. He is quite a big baby so the 6-9 month size probably won't last him up to 9 months but I would say the sizing is probably about right for an average size baby.

Very helpful, 25 Mar. 2018

Worked really well for my baby. I used to put her to sleep with cotton mittens, but she rubbed her head so much, her skin soon became raw and hair stopped growing. That made it very difficult to control her eczema.After switching to the scratch sleeves, she got much better. The rubbing doesnt hurt her skin so much anymore, and because her skin is much healthier now, she tends to rub less on her head. I even bought a second pair now, so I would definitely recommend it to mums struggling with scratchy babies.
