Scratch mitts for six month old

4 replies

Hi
My six month old has eczema on her face. I’m keeping her nails trim and keeping her covered in cream but she is managing to make it bleed in the night. Her jammies don’t have built in mitts at size 6-9 months, and I need something for her to wear during day naps too.

We are using the tiny baby mitts but they’re really not big enough- any suggestions for something her size? The only other thing I’ve seen are those bulky vests with the built in mitts but I’m hoping to just get some mitts she can wear as and when is convenient.

Socks?

I think that whatever mitts you get, your baby will try and pull them off, so you might be better trying to find a sleepsuit in a larger size that has built in mittens.

Yep, scratch sleeves for the win. We used them until 18 months
