Our soft and versatile bodysuits are the perfect day-time scratch mitt solution for your itchy little one. Generally sleeves with flip-over mittens dangle down over the wrist and hands, getting in the way (and getting messy) while they are open. Not ours! We've come up with an ingenious shoulder fastening that hitches the sleeves up keeping the cuffs out of the way of busy hands.
*Our signature natural silk mitts are soft and smooth, to protect delicate skin from even the most vigorous scratching while the loose fitting and 100% stretch cotton ensure babies and toddlers stay cool and comfortable.
*Our longer sleeves ensure that hands can be fully extended keeping them as cool and comfortable as possible.
*When the mitts are open, our unique shoulder epaulettes enable the sleeves to be hitched up and out of the way, allowing your child to play without their cuffs getting in the way. Our epaulettes use a novel fabric from GoodCatch which works like traditional Velcro but which is soft and flexible.
*The popper neck fastening ensures our bodysuits are easy to put on over sore faces.
* Designed for babies and toddlers with eczema but equally effective in combating scratching at other skin irritations, including chicken pox and post surgical healing; hair-pulling; thumb-sucking; protecting feeding-tubes; and much more.
To get the correct size you will need to measure your child’s ‘wingspan’. Put one end of a tape measure in the centre of their back, between the shoulder blades, and measure the distance from there to the tips of their fingers. Double this measurement to calculate the wingspan. Our sizing tends to run large so we suggest refraining from buying a larger size even if your child’s wingspan is close to the top of the size range.
