Itchy baby at night

[lanebaby]

Hey all, I don't know if this is the best place but we are looking for some suggestions/help
our DD has recently been suffering with eczema which the Dr seemed to suggested was triggered by sunvresm blocking her pores.
We've got it under control (almost) by using Diprobase cream. But... at night she's just so so so itchy! And screams to high heaven when DP puts mittens on her hands! Lol.
Could anyone offer some advice or experience if they've been through this? I don't know where to start to soothe this! She's 6 months. Thank-you

My DD used to get very itchy behind her legs at night. I think it was triggered by getting too hot.
We used cold wet flannels on her skin to try and calm the itching. We also used Piriton and sometimes paracetamol if the itching was actually causing pain.
It was horrible trying to calm her and seeing her in distress.
I think it started at around age 1 and by age 5 or 6ish it seemed to stop. She had cows milk protein intollerance over that time too that caused eczema and that also pretty much went away at that age too.
