what parents are saying
Love these and hate them at the same time! They were a must for my LO who had razor-sharp nails and loved to keep her hands by her face. They are annoying to keep on though, but overall good to have. (May 14, 2017)

Didn't love these. My babies liked to have their hands free to explore. They fell off more often than not. Feb 06, 2024

I could not get these things to stay on either kiddo. Lost some and gave up on the rest. Jul 03, 2023

These are just ok. Tend to fall off. I lean towards shirts that fold over with built in mittens instead Feb 08, 2023

Your child's nails grow faster than bamboo and are sharper than knives. If you want to save your child from their own scissorhands, have these handy. Aug 17, 2022

These are certainly helpful for the new babe when they discover their face! But of course they come off so easily.. helpful but not a necessity for our family. Aug 06, 2022

Help with newborns but I prefer the sleepers with fold over arms because these would fall off pretty easy on my kids. Jun 19, 2022

These are a must-have for a newborn, but that's about it. They work great to keep baby from scratching their face before you have a chance to get those nails trimmed. Jan 09, 2022

These never stayed on. Socks work so much better. Or just keep your newborn in the zip up onesies with the fold over mits. Oct 14, 2021

These seemed rather unnecessary for both my kids, but I can see how some parents would find them useful! Jul 14, 2021

Not worth it, unnecessary, and you are bound to always lose one out of the pair. Mar 29, 2021

Fold over cuffs are 100x better. These never stay on and are a pain to keep track of. Feb 26, 2021

I don’t like these cause they never stayed on my boys hands !! Maybe my boys were small for Their age but I think they would stay on some and that wasn’t the case Nov 12, 2020

As a first time mom, I was really nervous to mess with my newborns nails for a few weeks so these were great to prevent her from scratching herself until I built up the courage to cut her nails! Apr 18, 2020

I was gifted a ton of these and my baby did not like them. She wore them maybe three times. We prefer the rompers that fold over at the hands. Mar 01, 2023

Never used these, I'm sure these are great for some babies but we never used them, better off just making sure nails stay filed down to prevent scratching May 17, 2022

Only help for a little, my baby just sucks on them and it makes her hands cold so we take them off. Just better off keeping nails as short as possible. Jan 20, 2018

I have these but my daughter didn't like her hands to be covered. They're a great concept and work well if you have a baby that doesn't mind that! Aug 30, 2017
- Manjiree J.

These were essential as my baby always rubs her eyes and scratched her face up a lot. Luckily, she didn't mind these and didn't fight them. Also kept her hands warm. Aug 13, 2017

Not every newborn or 0-3 month outfit will have the pull-over mittens attached so these are a face-saver! :) Their little fingernails grow so fast and you don't want them to scratch their sweet face! Jul 18, 2017

LO takes them off. Also don't like hiding her hands for too long. Afraid she might be developmentally hindered with her finger coordination. Did that for 2 weeks and she used her wrist to put paci in. Jun 21, 2017

These never stayed on or kept her hands warm. I prefered to just keep her nails filed down. and bought shirts with mittens that flipped down if she was cold. Mar 10, 2017

Still use them once in a while. My baby has a dry skin especially on her head. I catch her scratching it all the time when she's asleep Feb 19, 2017

Tried to love these. She would not stop until she got them off. Found it easier to just keep her nails trimmed than to fight to keep these on. Dec 29, 2016

We used mittens almost every day for the first few months. Baby's nails and too flimsy to trim and they can easily scratch themselves! Dec 13, 2016

Love these for baby hands to keep them from scratching themselves while sleeping. If you can't afford these you can use socks too but these are great. Sep 18, 2016

They serve their purpose of keeping tiny nails away from baby's face, but these mittens always seem to fall off. Jul 06, 2016

I tried scratch mittens but learned over the yrs they are pointless, babies need their hands even when they come out of the womb, to suck on, even have skin to skin to their face, my boys hated them Feb 26, 2016

these were so helpful. They worked great so our sweet baby did not scratch herself. I had many pairs and took them everywhere. Feb 05, 2016

There are some babies that never need these... and then there was my son! He always kept him hands at his face and would scratch himself. These were so easy to use and plus they kept his hands warmer Jan 14, 2016

Great in theory, but i found these are hard to keep on their hands and tend to upset baby when they are on Nov 29, 2015

My little girl would attempt to rub her eyes and grab at her face and end up with huge gashes. These saved us! Sep 26, 2014

A must have for newborns, but not very useful once they learn to take them off at a few weeks. Sep 13, 2014

Baby wanted to suck fingers like he did in the womb since we didn't want to give pacis so these were a waste. Aug 21, 2014
- Darcy M.

Bought a bunch of these but ended up putting our baby in gerber longsleeve onesies with mitten cuffs most days/nights for the first several weeks so they were unnecessary May 28, 2014
They are OK but not as necessary as I thought. Our baby used them for the first day or two and then they were kind of useless. He just took them right off and as long as you clip the nails you're fine Feb 05, 2014
