Darling Seth has been so fidgety lately. PD told us that Seth's constant scratching of head is a bad habit, not that his scalp is itchy. In order to prevent him from scratching, I would hold his arms whenever he's asleep. However, when it comes to the nights, I am not able to do that since we are totally knock out till the time Seth makes noises then I will wake up and breast feed him.
Last night, I tried to restrain him from his habit again. It was a futile effort. Woke up at 2.30am to feed him, then saw his dried and flaky cradle cap, I got up and get the olive oil to apply on his scalp and his forehead. His scratching got me so concern that i held his arms and drift into sleep but woke up when i felt his arms shifting upwards again. Were persistence but end up, at 4.30am, I gave up totally and grumbled to Olive Tree that I did not sleep well. Made my silent prayer to Jesus and cast the worries to HIM because only Jesus makes all things well and good! Then I went back to have my much needed rest.
He has a new buddy, Scooby Doo(SD). Olive Tree got him the Scooby so that he can hug SD to sleep. Since now, Seth has to sleep on one side to prevent his back from getting redden as he sweats. However, the little prince is still in the stage of getting to know SD. Once SD is near his palms, he would stuff SD into his mouth! Poor SD, got itself all wet....
So now, the preventive measure for BB Seth scratching habit, is to put on mittens so that he would not scratch his scalp till it bleeds. Really no kidding, it practically bleed whenever he scratches. Pains our hearts man!
