Damn Bloody scratch mitts!


Does anyone else's babbas have trouble keeping these things on?

Ive bought the ones from mothercare and some cheapo ones from ethel austins but they all fall off!

Ive clipped Leos nails but he always has his hands up by his face and manages to scratch himself all the time

Ive tried pulling his sleeves down over them and folding the tops over but they bloody well wont stay on his little hands!

Argggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I bought the Sainsburys ones for Sam and they hardly ever fell off. Little socks work well too as they're a bit tighter around the wrist x

We never had to use scratch mitts on Poppy but some of the babygros she had had inbuilt scratch mitts (an extra bit round the cuff that you pull over the hand) Hey presto, no mitts falling off You can get them in Next and also Mothercare I think. Will try and find a link
