Hello,

I have a 11 month old daughter who has eczema...we are medicating her but she scratches it. For this reason it is taking a long time to get healed. while searching for methods to stop scratching I came across http://www.myspecialshirt.com/ which provides a special shirt which blocks the child's fingers and so they cannot scratch. I will ask for suggestions from experienced mothers whether to buy one of these or not.

thanks.

We did use sleepsuits when Luke was little. We bought them from the eczema clothing comapny in the uk and they are pure cotton with seams on the outside, enclosed feet and button up the back and button over mitts to stop them stratching. We only used them after we'd tried wet wrapping, paste bandaging. Could there we another cause for your daughters eczema? Fabric softeners and laundry powder are awful for sensitive skin.

Are you planning on using this shirt at night or during the day?
