Are baby Hand mittens necessary?

Question

I haven’t bought any and was wondering if they’re even necessary? How often do you use them really?

Answer

We used socks the mittens are us less imo, they don’t use them long

Answer

I used them

Answer

I never had any with my daughter, I never felt like she needed them either.

Answer

My son is 6 months and we still use mitts or socks on his hands. He likes to scratch at his head when he’s tired or fussy. Elastic socks work better as they don’t fall off easily.

Answer

All the time, YES!!

Answer

We have a bunch. Used them once. Didn’t need to.

Answer

They keep baby from scratching themselves on accident my son never needed them but a lot of the babies that I’ve had at my job have needed them here and there

Answer

My son is 3 weeks old and we have yet to use them

Answer

They can make it difficult to tell when they are rooting - a sign that baby is ready to nurse.

Answer

I bought a ton and once I realized they make baby pajamas with built in mittens I never used them again. My son would scratch his face up really bad for the first month or two and needed his hands covered at all times but always took the mittens off. He only wore jammies with built in mittens.
