Where can I find baby sleepsuits with built-in scratch mitts? Or sleepsuits for long babies?

I got some from Mamas & Papas and the built-in scratch mitts are a brilliant idea, but unfortunately my 2wo baby is entirely the wrong size and shape for the sleepsuits. His feet already fill the shoe part of a 0-3month sleepsuit and he has long limbs, but his abdomen is small and there's a sea of spare fabric widthways.

Does anyone know any other stockists of sleepsuits with built-in scratchmitts, or in fact any sleepsuits that are good for loooong babies?

Congratulations on your new DS!

The Sainsburys ones have built in scratchmitts and they do seem quite long in the leg and arms - my DS is quite big, but he never really fits the legs properly in his age range, until just before the rest of him grows out of them! They're about £8 for 3 and they wash really well. We don't buy ours from anywhere else now.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check Sainsbiry's

(I also posted on the Chat area as it seems to get more traffic)

here, Mothercare
3-pack of long-sleeve white sleepsuits
Integral scratch mitts from 3-6 months, non-slip soles from 9 months and above
Toe safe? design prevents loose threads wrapping around tiny toes

Next do them, as do Matalan.

I second sainsbury's. DS is very long and very scratchy and they have been the best ones we've found.

John Lewis do them without legs - just a very long body with elastic in the bottom. Brilliant as no messing around in the night with domes. The have built in sleep mits too. Wld suit a long baby. I love this style but it's quite hard to come across.

My baby is long and we find john lewis the best :)

My little boy was quite long, and we found that Boots sleepsuits and babysuits were quite a long fit too. Tescos were hopeless!

LoveBeingAbleToNamechange · 25/06/2011 12:36

M&s do also

Karmabanana · 25/06/2011 12:38

The next ones have particularly short sleeves.

Honeydragon · 25/06/2011 12:38

Second Sainsburys as good for longer babies

ninedragons · 25/06/2011 12:40

Osh Kosh do lovely ones.

Boots are good for long and narrow babies
