Eczema/allergy: The likely causes are eczema/dry skin, food allergies and contact dermatitis. With dry skin, frequent lubrication with moisturizers should help. Food allergies can manifest themselves in the skin as itchiness. Clothing, blankets, sheets, and other products can irritate the skin, caused by the material or the detergent. Elimination trials can solve this. Discuss with your doctor if unsure.

Possibly allergies: If itching is in a localized area it could be a contact reaction causing a skin irritation known as dermatitis. If itching is all over her body then she may have developed allergies to something she eats or otherwise is ingesting if there are new foods or other substances you've introduced, stop them and reintroduce them one at a time. If it does not improve or worsen soon see your pediatrician.
