Mittens on a baby

[mandymaz]

Advice needed please! My little girl, who has just turned one, takes off her gloves or mittens as soon as I put them on. Her little hands are getting so cold and she is getting very miserable as a result.

I've tried gloves with fingers, mittens on a string through the coat - everything I can think of.

Has anyone found any that actually stay on? Any advice welcome!

Thanks

Mandy

Socks?

Very long sleeves?

None of mine would ever wear them

I'm having the same problems with my 13 month old! I'm going to try a snowsuit/coat with fold-over sleeves - like the newborn babygros have.

Fingerless ones? My 10 month old is a thumb sucker and is outraged if her thumb is covered up! For now I've pretty much given up and just try to tuck her hands down in the buggy snuggle as best I can.

Glad to hear I'm not alone! She takes them off with her mouth so I don't think socks would work. Long sleeves might be worth a try though...

I don't remember this being a problem with my first but he was a different age in winter so perhaps that's why.

Long socks right up to the elbow under clothes might work. Though I suppose if she is determined to take them off, she must be prepared to suffer the cold hands!

OK - I'll give it a go! She has been getting very sad when outside over the last few days... also takes hat off but that's another story...

What about these?

They look great - have you tried them?

[MrsAk]

yes we have some. They were a little big for her last winter when she was about 7 months but they stayed on. The only thing is they don't have a place for the thumbs - they do keep her hands warm though!

We have the same problem so thanks for all the tips! Baby strawbs since he was tiny refuses to even have his arms underneath the footmuff on the pram regardless of how cold it is! He hates covers full stop! I had imagined him in some funky hats in winter too (almost ordered one from pickle) but he goes mad and rips them off and throws them on the street so I've resorted to clothes with hoods.. X

My daughter hates gloves and hats. And this is new: coats. No suggestions, sorry.
