Does anywhere sell integral scratch mitts on sleepsuits in 6-9 months?

My daughter is about to outgrow her 3-6 month sleepsuits and needs her hands covered to sleep (or else her hands roam around feeling things and keep her awake!).

I already use separate scratch mitts on top of the integral ones on her sleepsuits as otherwise she Houdinis herself out of them...

Does anyone know anywhere that sells any? Thank you!

Mamas and papas do them until 9-12 months. I have found 0-6 month socks much better on the hands than scratch mitts (heel of sock goes over top of wrist).

Fwiw your baby may learn to use their uncovered hands to self soothe. Learnt this after the recent hot weather as felt even the socks on hands combined with a short sleeve bodysuit was too much when it topped 25 degrees. Now realised she loves to scratch the bedding whilst lying on her side and sends her to sleep. Always thought we needed to prevent this as would keep her awake, however just needed to give her a bit of time!

Hi,

George at Asda do integrated ones. My DD is 9 months and is the same, uses her mitts to sooth by stroking her nose and lips with them.

We got some from Asda but Tesco F&F also do them.

DS was a terror for his hands keeping him awake, mainly by constantly pulling his dummy out. When it was really hot we just had him in a vest and sleeping bag and he had to learn to sleep with his hands free but we still needed the mitts up until then, he’s 8 months now.
