So it's nearly summer and getting to that terrible time for itching. Up until now we have survived by dressing Grace in a singlet bodysuit under all her clothing to stop her lifting up t-shirt or dress etc to scratch until she bleeds. Now she has outgrown those - does anyone know if you can buy cotton singletsuits that are size two and up?

I think you can get them from Big W.

You can never get them to stop itching! Even when he is totally clear of Ezcema Sam still itches when he gets tired and as soon as the nappy comes off he is itching.

We never found any that big when we was looking for them last year, we had to resort to sewing sox onto his sleezes and at the bottom of his pj legs. but of course they can still get to there tummy, but with out the nasty old nails it never left really bad marks. Hope you find some, they should come in sizes up to 6.

Thanks for the help, I went shopping in Big W yesterday and Bonds go up to size two in most clothes, they even have the romper pj's (short sleeve and leg) for size 2 which is fantastic. I also spoke to gaia who do an all in one dress which is nice and nice singlets which are thin straps at the top so hopefully i'm set.

Thanks

Yup that's what happens here most of the time now with just his routine of Hamiltons oil kept up his skin is clear but he still scratches. Paed said stage 1 is the itch and stage two is the redness etc.

We are still using size 2 singlet suits guess him being a skinny little fella has an advantage.

Couple of girls at playgroup last week had cute little jump suit things on like shorts and a top all in one if that makes sense I think they were a 60's/70's thing. Must be "in fashion" (always seems funny talking fashion and kids lol) as I've seen them about a bit they might be good for keeping the tummy covered and they look cute too
