I didn't know about jumpers. DD used that thing for 45 min at a time! Hmmm, gotta look into that for #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-426012 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:25:52 +0000 banana 426012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, never bothered to. I just always made sure her nails were trimmed. </p> <p>@andrea: Our ped said the same thing! She also told us that jumpers are bad for hip development so we never put our son in one. We should've though. Would've made life a lot easier at times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-426010 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:24:40 +0000 MrsRcCar 426010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried mittens the first couple days. He HATED them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-426003 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:22:10 +0000 yellowbird 426003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, they said it was a choking hazard in the childcare class I took while pregnant. She also lives sucking in her fists! I bought a thick pair for when its cold outside and we're carrying her somewhere though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-425990 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 20:19:00 +0000 sarac 425990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, what's the deal with that, do a lot of children really scratch their faces? They're so uncoordinated at that age. I'd worry about their development with their hands always covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-425824 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:32:46 +0000 lemondrop 425824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never bothered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-425139 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:19:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 425139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah we did because he was born in february! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-425119 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 13:06:45 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 425119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes LO wears mits all the time because his nails grow super fast and I can't keep up! So, we do it to prevent him from scratching himself<br /> @littlek: you're son is so adorable:) I zoom in on his picture all the time and go, "awww!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-425090 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:48:13 +0000 chrispygal 425090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, they would fall off. Now that it's winter though, I put a warm fuzzy pair on her when she sleeps. Otherwise her hands feel so cold in the morning! I forget who gave me the mittens, but they stay on great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-425065 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:37:46 +0000 sotomorrow 425065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-425038 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:20:48 +0000 LazyLightning 425038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't plan to because I've been told it keeps them from being able to use their hands, so it can slow development that way. Not sure if it's true but I can see why it might be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424994 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 11:53:07 +0000 Weagle 424994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never did. She didn't scratch herself until she got older and was moving around a ton. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424614 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:22:40 +0000 prettylizy 424614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only put them on her to keep her tiny hands warm when we went out a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424598 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:17:46 +0000 littlek 424598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he was in the NICU so he couldn't wear mittens and by the time we took him home he was used to having access to his hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424579 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:10:51 +0000 mamabolt 424579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, we didn't bother. She didn't scratch herself and it was one less thing to worry about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424574 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 09:08:28 +0000 autumnlove 424574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put socks on her hands a few times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424522 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 08:24:00 +0000 heffalump 424522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for the car ride home from the hospital. She never kept them on so we never bothered. The nurse at the hospital said that it didn't really matter, her nails couldn't scratch her eyes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424459 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 06:28:19 +0000 Andrea 424459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, our pediatrician said not to bc it inhibits their motor development! Not sure it makes a difference when they are that young but I just listened to her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424442 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 04:44:56 +0000 mynoahbear 424442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did because she kept scratching her face. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424437 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 04:29:18 +0000 Rosie Girl 424437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424431 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 04:10:36 +0000 loveisstrange 424431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, she would get really pissed off and wouldnt leave them on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424428 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 04:00:59 +0000 Sweet T 424428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did on and off for the first month or so. DS always figured out how to take them off so I ditched them early. I'd randomly throw them on when I saw a scratch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424422 Fri, 30 Nov 2012 03:52:12 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 424422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, but he's got super dry hands that have already cracked and bleed ( poor guy) so we slather them with Eucerin and pull his sleeves over his hands (he's so tiny and all his clothes are so big there's plenty of room). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424250 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:54:37 +0000 sera_87 424250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-424249 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 23:54:03 +0000 BeachMama 424249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did for a few weeks because she would scratch herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-423965 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:10:44 +0000 Springtime 423965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did it for about 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-put-mittens-on-your-newborns-hands#post-423957 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:08:44 +0000 chopsuey 423957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put mittens on my LO's hands on and off until she was 3 months old. </p>
