Hello. DD is 6 months and loves to scratch her belly as soon as she gets the chance - whether I'm change her nappy, changing her clothes or giving her a bath. I keep her nails as short as possible but she still insists on scratching madly and she often leaves scratch marks :( She doesn't even try when she is fully clothed and her skin looks perfectly fine (ie no rashes or eczema or dry skin). She has done this for the last 2 months. I haven't changed my washing powder or baby's bath wash. I thought it might be the nappy she was objecting to, so have tried a couple of different ones, but no change. Has anyone else seen this? Could it be anxiety? She seems a very chilled baby in every other way.
