An essential baby product? When my little boy was first born he would scratch himself so badly that he looked like he had been in a fight with the cat and ended up on the losing side. He has a bit of eczema on his face too so I think he liked to scratch this to make it feel better but he was always covered in red bleeding ... Read the complete review

The one thing I totally forgot to buy whilst I was pregnant was scratch mitts! I had used them for my first child, a daughter all the time as she used to get cold hands and also she used used to scratch her face a lot. When my son was born, he was born with long, pointy fingernails. I suddenly realised I hadn't bought any ... Read the complete review

I have never understood the point of scratch mitts that do not prevent scratching.......and unfortunately these Mothercare Scratch Mitts are a prime example! When my son was a young baby, he used to get himself in such a temper that he would be grabbing at his face and, at times, he would leave scratch marks on his beautiful face. Some ...

We bought a couple of packs of these when our little one was first born, as they are unisex they are very neutral in colour, which is perfect as it goes with blue or pink as well as the majority of baby body suits which are white. These are available in newborn and 0-3 months and are really designed to protect the little ones ... Read the complete review

When I was expecting my daughter I saw various lists on what you would need for a newborn. As she was my first baby I bought pretty much everything recommended. I knew that a baby's nails grow from early on in your pregnancy and can be long when they are born so I picked up two packets of these scratch mitts. The cost £3.50 for a pack of ...

My baby was born with long nails and his nails grow at a considerable rate even now, so I wanted to protect him from scratching his delicate skin when his arms were waving around. This was particularly an issue when he was first born and I lacked the confidence to cut his nails. I purchased various brands of scratch mitts, ... Read the complete review

It's one of the miracles of motherhood just how quickly a mother can forget - no, not the pain of childbirth - but the total uselessness of scratch mitts! Despite having three children and knowing full well that the blasted things didn't remain in place for seconds on the oldest two, I had some kind of baby amnesia and bought several ...

When you're expecting a baby scratchmitts seem to be high on the list of 'things people will warn you you need' and 'things that people want to buy you because they're so tiny and cute'. With the overlap between these two lists and my worry as a first time mum we ended up with far more than we really needed, and among them were the ... Read the complete review

Having suggested Mothercare Scratch Mitts as a product here I was too slow in making my way through the list I have to make a first review on them, oops. Still they are worth talking about and so here goes. Having had a number of Mothercare Scratch Mitts over the years I have to say that they can have their uses, but can be rather hit ...

These scratch mitts from Mothercare are a nice simple design and are sold in packs of two for £2.50 and they are also sold in packs of three however I felt that two pairs was enough as one pair can be in the wash while the other is being used as they are not an item that need to be clean on every day and it is not as if the washing ...

Towards the end of my pregnancy, I started to get a bit panicky about making sure we had everything we needed. Then one day I was waddling down the road and met a mother with a baby in a pram. The baby was very cute, but looked like he'd been attacked by a wolverine with these massive deep scratches beside his eye. I asked the mother ... Read the complete review
