Anyone know where I can buy sleepsuits or long-sleeved vests with built-in scratch mitts for 4 mo DD to try and stop her scratching her head in her sleep? Have seem some in Next but only up to 6m and she's tall so won't fit them for long!

Most sleepsuits only have built in mitts up to 3-6 - but John Lewis sleepsuits are longer than Next ones if that helps...

Jojomamanbebe do built-in scretch mitts up to 12mo.

I ended up buying a pile of cotton mittens and sewing them onto the sleeves of all DS1s sleep suits when we went through this. Worked a treat, but I really regretted it when DS2 turned up and I needed to remove them all!

Thank you - will try Jojomamanbebe first as my sewing is awful, fingers crossed she grows out of the head-scratching before she grows out of the sleepsuits

I think John Lewis do too.

Asda have larger size sleepsuits (I've seen up to at least 18 months) and pyjamas with integral scratchmitts that I've bought for my son. I've also seen them in Jojo maman bebe for 6 to 12 months, but haven't actually bought from there myself

ps my son is tall too, he's not quite 6 months but is filling 6 to 9 months lengthways and I've found that Asda sleepsuits and pjays are more generous

hi there

I'm sounding like an old record here as I've already said scratchsleeves are great!
but, we were in exactly the same situation - constant scratching going on, coudn't buy sleep suits with built in mitts over a certain age, so we bought scratchsleeves, and my son wore a normal vest suit - short sleeves - with the scratchsleeves on top. if its colder weather and you use a babygro, you can always shorten the sleeves if you wish, and then still put the scratchsleeves on - and no, I don't work on commmission!!!

The JoJo ones go up to at least 18mo, and I think 2yo. I have bought ahead in case they stop selling! You may have to buy the older ones online.
