How long should my baby wear scratch mitts?

Babies typically wear scratch mitts for the first few months of life, usually until they are around 3 to 6 months old. This helps prevent them from scratching their face and body with their developing nails. As they gain better hand control and start to explore their surroundings, you can gradually remove the mitts. Always monitor your baby's hands and nails to ensure they are trimmed and safe.
