Dandelion Goumi Scratch Mitts For Premature Babies That Stay On | Preemie Specialist
Stay-On Scratch Mittens - Dandelion
FULL PRODUCT DETAILS
These specialist baby mittens are a little more expensive than most, but that's because they're the best. They really do stay on! The video below explains more.
Why you will love them
• Proven to stay on: No matter how much your little one wiggles, these mittens will stay put. The signature two-part closure system ensures they stay on, providing scratch and germ protection and allows adjustment as baby grows.
• Clinically tested for babies in the NICU: Babies in the NICU can get up to mischief pulling at the tubes and wires they are connected to, which can be very dangerous. These specialist mittens are proven to significantly reduce accidental extubation in the NICU as well as stopping scratching, making them a must-have purchase for a premature baby.
• Luxuriously soft, organic and sustainable: The machine-washable, 70% viscose from bamboo/30% organic cotton blend is breathable, naturally antimicrobial and environmentally sustainable. OEKO-tek certified and AZO dye free too.
• Good for baby's brain: High contrast pattern on these anti-scratch mittens stimulates infant brain and eye development.
• Stylish: These anti-scratch mittens have been designed to be very functional, but also adorably stylish too in a range of colours and patterns.

Why organic cotton?
Better for baby's delicate skin Babies have delicate skin, especially premature babies because their dermis - which is the last layer of skin - is not completely formed. Organic cotton is gentle and kinder to a baby's skin.
There is less of a chance of baby developing skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and skin allergies. It is mould resistant and antimicrobial too.
Better quality and longer lasting Because the fibres have not been damaged by chemicals during production, the quality of the cotton is superior. Therefore, clothing made from organic cotton should last longer than those made of conventional cotton.
Better for the planet For environmentally conscious shoppers there's no doubt that choosing to buy organic cotton clothing is better for the world. Organic cotton farming is less polluting, uses less energy and water, and the health of workers is also not compromised.
So why do we sell non-organic cotton clothing too? Many of our products are organic, but you do pay a premium for premium products. So to offer a range of value priced items too, we also sell a lot of standard cotton clothing, with no complaints.
It really is down to how sensitive baby's skin is, personal preference, and budget.
