ScratchSleeves| Baby Boys' Stay-On Scratch Mitts | Stripes

Our baby has had eczema for almost the entire time since he was home; he got worse when he was put on a different formula but we didn’t really know that the formula made it worse until recently.Baby wouldn’t stop scratching and rubbing himself raw with regular cotton mittens, so I bought these and it worked great! He was able to wiggle his way around getting an arm out once or twice but it wasn’t often, and I presumed it was because he had room to grow into the sleeve.Although I think these are expensive, nothing can replace the peace of mind knowing my baby won’t have scars all over from scratching. Even though his eczema is moderately controlled now, his nails are still sharp even when I try trimming them; he likes to pull his hair now too and will dig his nails in if no scratch sleeve on. They also cleaned well even when he got blood on them from teething. These are a life changer.We had bought him 2 3-6 month old sleeves first and they held up well considering being sucked and slobbered on almost constantly, and rubbed against skin often. The silk mitten part was just a little worn from use by the time we got him in 6-9 months size. Because he was constantly in the sleeves, it was ideal to change them out often (but I didn’t do it as often as I wanted; maybe every 3 days to a week). I only suggest switching out to clean them so they don’t get gross looking or covered in germs.I will very likely continue buying these and even consider their other line of products when my boy is older. I am very happy with this product and the quality.

So thankful that we found this product! Our 18 month old has suffered from eczema since he was born, and ever since he got wise enough to pull off mittens, socks, anything we used to try and keep him from scratching, it has been a huge struggle. He has scratched himself awake at night so many times, and even scratched himself bloody. We had been putting adult socks over his hands and arms under his clothes as a temporary solution, but it was hit and miss. It's a helpless feeling when your baby is dealing with something like this and we have tried so many products with no solution yet. Found these sleeves and since the first night he wore them they have been a lifesaver. They stay on and they are soft and lightweight. His sleeping and his scratching have improved drastically. We are going to get more of these a second he grows until we can hopefully get the eczema itself under control. My only criticism is that the satin mitten part is a little flimsy and we have had to re-sew the hands up. The sleeve also does tend to stretch out, which does make sense because of the way it fits around the baby. Just have to hand wash and dry more often to keep it tight.

They fit was larger and easy to get off. We had to add a button to the front for it to stay on

My little one has pretty bad eczema and goes to town scratching - to the point of breaking skin. She became a master and removing mittens, even ones with Velcro. We even resorted to using long socks as mittens but of course she figured that out. These are a godsend!! She has gotten out of them a few times in her sleep (it may be too big for her BUT she’s 11mo wearing 9-12mo) but we’re still really happy that it works *most* of the time. Luckily her eczema is under control now but when it flares up again… we’re ready!

My 1-year-old daughter's eczema was causing her to wake up in the middle of the night screaming and scratching her skin raw (the steroid creams work, but the itching comes back worse when she goes off them...). I had the idea for these to break that notorious scratch-itch cycle, and went looking to see if you can buy such a thing online. Turns out you can! And the killer feature here is the silk mitts. I assumed we would have to wrestle her to get her into them but after some gentle coaxing she actually really enjoys them and accepts them readily. The other thing we did was put a wet T-shirt on her during her bath (for soak-and-seal, you need to soak, but she's a toddler, so that's not going to happen...). Between those two things we seem to be keeping the eczema under control without the steroid creams.Edit: We have had to go back to using one of the steroid creams but she is sleeping well and the mitts are holding up well.

Helpful to prevent scratching but huge. Like more than 2 sizes too big for my 21 month old. Ot sags around his shoulders. He is petite and I bought the 6 to 9 month old one since they say it runs big but it was still too big! Otherwise nice quality tho and so far he hasn't figured out how to squirm out of it so that's a success.

She likes to itch alot and then makes her booboo bleed. Searched Lot and wasn't really much out there. So tried this, it fits pretty well and she doesn't even mind when we put it on her at night like we thought it would. Been using for a few weeks now and very glad I did.

My 9 month old son have really bad eczema. He kept scratching at the same spot over and over again. It's a cycle that repeats and it wasn't healing at all. I decided to purchase this even though there were a lot of mixed reviews but I felt like I had nothing else to try. We put this on our son (then 6 months) to sleep and then put his sleep sack on, just couple of days later, we saw noticeable difference. His scratches were finally healing!!! Spending $20 on something like this did felt ridiculous but it's the best investment ever!!! Now I have an extra pair to switch between washes. It's been 3 months and it's still looking like new. The silk mittens are still intact, no holes, even though I've seen him biting and chewing on it when he's awake. It says it can be tumbled dried but I haven't tried since parts of it are made of silk. I also put it in a small laundry bag to wash.One thing to note is that the sleeve part is not stretchy at all (nature of silk I guess). So even if the wingspan fits, if your baby have bigger than average size hands, you may want to size up. We have the 9-12 month one for when my baby was 8 months old because the 6-9m hand part were just too tight. What we did was we just hand sewed the back to make it tighter and remove/adjust it as he grows. So far it's been working for us.

Really helpful with ezcema flare ups. The silk on the hands is very soft.

Great

Life savour for any parent dealing a baby with Eczema.

I wanted to really like this scratch sleeve because I like the material, it’s very high quality... but the only and biggest con about it is that the open area of the sleeve (the part that goes on the baby’s body/back, not the part that goes in the arm) is TOO WIDE causing the arms of my baby to always escape out of the sleeves ...which is so frustrating because once the arms and hands are out the scratching starts again which is the one thing I wanted to prevent hence the reason I bought this. Basically the purpose of this sleeve is defeated because of that one con. My daughter ALWAYS sleeps with a sleep sack on so despite having that to “lock” the sleeves in the arms it does not work because the open area (the body part of the sleeve) is too wide. Picture below shows the gap which makes it hard for the sleeve to stay on.
