Hair pulling

[Oneverytiredmummy]

Hello,

I was just wondering if anybody could help with an ongoing problem. I got some really good advice last time I posted so after trying everything I can think of I thought I'd ask here! :)

So ds2 (almost 3) has been pulling out his hair in his sleep for quite a few months. He doesn't do it during the day at all, but at night he seems to really go for it whilst sleeping which has made him bald down one side of his head.

During summer last year we had it taken really short which helped, but the problem started again as soon as it grew back.
I've tried little mittens so he can't grip, but he pulls them off.
He's got a fluffy toy which he loves but that doesn't seem to deter him.

Any advice would be grateful! Thank you.

I'm having the same problem with my 15 month old, she's getting a little mullet!
I've bought a top from this website with built in silk mittens scratchsleeves.co.uk though I appreciate something like this might not go down as well with a 3 year old but might be worth a go! We've only used it for the first time last night but it seemed to work, so may be worth a try? She would also pull off mittens so at least these eliminate that!

@Havasham thank you for replying! Aww bless her 😊 it might be worth a go, thank you for recommending, at this point I'm desperate to try anything😊
