Mittens

When does baby do not need to wear mittens anymore? My LO is going 2 months and we have trimmed his nails too but still let him wears his mittens 24/7 in case the trimmed nails might scratch his face.

No hard and fast rule. General guideline is at least 1 mth old onwards. I let my elder kid wear mittens until around 3 month though as he had a terrible habit of scratching his face accidentally until it bled, even though we trimmed him nails.

I stopped at around 2 months cus my baby loves to put his hands inside his mouth. His mittens are alwas wet. So i let my boy explore his hands and fingers.

I started removing after LO is one month old when I'm able to trim her nails. I feel that it is important for LO to touch and feel things with fingers.

After one month my girl no longer wear mittens because I want her to touch and feel things around her! Helps her development too!

I removed mittens when my baby turned 2 months. Babies need to explore with their hands and fingers

I stopped after 2 mths. It will take a while for them to get used to not wearing mittens

if he continues to scratch himself too often, put them back on to protect his skin
