Mittens - Stopped once discharged from hospital actually.

Booties - Nvr wear before. I use socks.

My kids wear sleepsuits with feet to sleep at night so I don't use socks.

i've stopped wearing mittens for my girl when she's awake when she was 5 weeks old. I wear them back when she is asleep for fear of her scratching herself until 2 days ago. Babies learn very fast and if they scratch themselves once or twice, she will learn that it hurts and she won't do it to herself after that.

As for booties, she stopped wearing them as soon as she fit into her sleep suits and for going out, she's wearing socks

mittens my baby wore for 1 week n booties/socks 2 weeks.
Nails we cut every other day just to be sure so scratching never a problem.

I just removed my boy mitten this wk and he is 2 months old. Did trim his nails but face and eye there he still can scratch. He seem like not painful but there is red lines. Haiz... How should I let him learn to stop the scratching. Pls advice.

Mittens - about 3 mths
Booties - about 4 mths because they are too tight for his growing feet. Thereafter, no socks too because my boy feels hot in them and he perspires easily. I will only put socks for him when we go out, just to look nice. :p
