  • We could not keep these on long enough to give them a fair shake. I spent more time looking for a lost mitten than the baby wore them. Better off gently filing nails or using infant socks to cover Mar 23, 2023

    • Mary B.

    • Randolph, New Jersey

    These mittens actually do stay on better than most mittens I have used! The elastic at the wrist is tight, yet gentle enough that it doe not bother baby. May 06, 2022

  • I found these mittens to be useless. While baby is newborn I rather flip out the hand covers on onesies/sleepers. We found it impossible to keep the kittens on. Feb 28, 2021

  • Fold over cuffs are WAAAYY easier and more efficient. Feb 26, 2021

  • I received these care of Stellar Product Panel. They worked until she started sucking on her fingers. Seemed to be helpful until the 3 month mark. The prints are very cute tho. Feb 09, 2021

  • Way to big for newborns. They fall of constantly. I do not recommend these. Aug 10, 2020

  • These are very soft and comfortable but they do not stay on little hands very well at all. I stopped using these and purchased a different type of mitten instead. Jul 27, 2020

  • I don't recommend mittens of any kind. Do yourself a favor and just get the onsies with fold over sleeves that can morph into a mitt that way they stay on and less to wash. Jun 19, 2020

  • They were fine, but they often fell off. I spent most of my time just putting them back on my son's hands and would eventually give up. It was nice when they kept my son from scratching himself though Mar 06, 2020

  • Soft, cute mittens. Keep our LO from scratching herself. They aren't too tight but stay on well. Jan 27, 2020

  • A little too large for a newborn and still lose at 1 month (10 lbs). However, mittens help prevent scratches on the face since it’s really difficult to trim a newborn’s nails. Nov 08, 2019

    • Watford City, North Dakota

    Cute styles and help prevent sharp finger nail scratches but the elastic wears out quick and doesn’t seem to stay on very well. Oct 20, 2019

  • Great for keeping newborn's hands warm and prevent them from scratching their face which is very common for newborns. Sep 01, 2019

  • I loved these mittens . My daughter was horrible about scratching her face till we got these . They're a life saver . Jul 24, 2019

  • This are a must! Baby is constantly trying to scratch his face so this is a lifesaver. Jul 11, 2019

  • These do not stay on well at all. If your baby is a scratcher, tube socks on the hands stay on better or get onesies with the hand fold overs. Jun 11, 2019

  • We get so little use out of these that it wasn't worth the purchase but it was nice to have in the dead of winter for cold fingers. Apr 12, 2019

  • So pointless. They don't stay on. Just use shirts or sleep n plays with the fold over sleeves. Feb 26, 2019

  • Hard to keep them on. Feb 22, 2019

  • Would not stay on my baby. Stretched out way too easily. Dec 09, 2018

  • I had gotten these hopping to use them for the first couple weeks. However I quickly realized that my baby could easily take them off and scratch her face. Aug 02, 2018

    • oldbride, New Jersey

    Like the. Does the job. Good price Jul 18, 2018

  • Had these in blue white and gray. Seemed useful at first but in retrospect I wish I’d have gotten a baby nail file instead. Useful at hospital during night. Not worth the money for the use we got Jun 28, 2018

  • These things are useless, they constantly fall off. We ended up using socks instead May 26, 2018

  • Would not fit or stay fit May 18, 2018

  • Works great to keep baby from scratching her face. Oct 22, 2017

  • Sized right for my 7#5oz newborn! Worked great to prevent scratches to baby and Mom! Sep 16, 2017

  • Come off easily. Luckily daughter didn't need. May 26, 2017

  • I have a ton of these, but never used them on my baby. He could get them off easily. Next time around I'll get more PJs with the mittens that are part of the sleeves that's pull over their hands. Apr 10, 2017

  • These are cute, but my baby did not like them at all. They fell off and shrunk in the wash. Mar 09, 2023

  • I thought baby would have used these but they never stayed on and would always fall off Apr 15, 2022

    • Liz C.

    • United States of America

    I used to think these were a necessity until I had a baby. They just looked so tight and uncomfortable. Clipping their nails or wearing a long sleeved onesie to cover their hands will work much better Apr 06, 2019

  • Perfect for little hands. Does shrink in the wash. One set was enough for us. Dec 17, 2018

  • Great for little ones with cold hands and also prevents scratching. However, the elastic is a bit too loose so they don't stay on that well. Mar 05, 2018

  • These mittens are a must with a newborn! They are light weight and fit perfectly over your babies hands to prevent them from scratching their face. Feb 06, 2018

  • Cute and a good idea but didnt work well for us since baby would suck on them or rub them off. Jan 20, 2018

  • Works great! Sep 04, 2017

    • Mary H.

    • Hurricane , West Virginia

    They never stay on Jun 11, 2017

    • Jenn K.

    • Colorado Springs , Colorado

    I only used these during the day when I would watch baby since it seemed like a suffocation hazard. They do help baby not scratch himself but are a pain to keep track of and use. Mar 14, 2017

    • Liz S.

    • HONOLULU, Hawaii

    Even though they are super cute, our little was a pro at getting these off. I just kept her nails filed. Mar 10, 2017

    • Vicki H.

    • Lindenhurst , New York

    Must have for all this scratching babies out there! Mine is one of them :-( Mar 05, 2017

  • A must have in your hospital bag. Babies are born with super long nails and these help protect their little face. Mar 04, 2017

    • rula m.

    • United States of America

    Great to have for little babies but the elastic around the wrist doesn't hold well Mar 02, 2017

  • Does not stay and thread unravels. Waste of money. Oct 15, 2016

  • Awsome for newborns to keep them from scratching themselves. Sep 18, 2016

  • A must have for infants so they don't scratch their faces with their razor sharp nails Aug 18, 2016

  • On the small side, but did the trick. Kept those little finger nails from scratching poor baby faces May 08, 2016

    • Lee D.

    • San Francisco, California

    A must have for a newborn! Didnt believe it at first but my son scratched his face so many times getting used to being born. Its definetly something every parent needs to bring for hospital bag. Apr 11, 2016

  • Lightweight and tear easily. Might be best for a summer baby. Mar 15, 2016

  • Only one of my babes did great with these, but it was so worth it to have them! He would've clawed his face raw without them! Jan 31, 2016
