Advantages: idea of them is good

Disadvantages: reality is not so good, they keep falling off

Scratch mittens are small little mittens designed to be placed over your babies hands to prevent them from scratching themselves. They are usually made of cotton and are usually white in colour. In my opinion scratch mittens are a complete waste of time. I think that the idea of them is great, as my first baby was always scratching himself in the night. Sadly though the reality of this invention was that they would keep falling off. I bought several different pairs and they all did the same thing. I found that you could get baby sleep suits which have an extra piece of material on them so that the ends fold over the babies hands. These were brilliant, as there was no way that he could get them off. A friend of mine also used to use baby socks and put them over her babies hands. Because they are longer than the scratch mittens they worked really well. If I was to advise anyone about scratch mittens, my best piece of advice would be to save your money and not to bother. But I am sure that there are those of you out there who are real fans of scratch mits, I'm sure that if you find the right make or brand, then they can work really well, I just never found them sadly.

Summary: Don't waste your money on scratch mitts.
