What is baby mittens?

Winter mittens keep hands warm outdoors. Baby mittens are usually thumbless, with a long cuff that goes over the sleeve.

How mittens help

  • Thumbless mittens go on small hands more easily.
  • Long cuffs and elastic help them stay on.
  • Some snowsuits and buntings have fold-over cuffs instead.

What to look for

  1. Thumbless mittens are common under 12 months. Long cuffs stay on over sleeves.
  2. Sizes vary by brand. Many brands size by weight and height, not age. See each brand's sizes

How many mittens to buy

Typical counts from 11 published baby clothing checklists, adjusted to your answers.

How far ahead are you shopping?

Your call. Some parents buy the first size and shop as baby grows; others stock up a year out. Babies grow at their own pace, so keep tags and receipts on later sizes in case you need to swap.

How often do you do laundry?

No washer at home, or a trip to the laundromat? Pick about once a week.

How we count
  • Each number is the typical (middle) count across the checklists. Most give one total for the newborn stage, so Newborn and 0–3 months share one number.
  • The counts assume laundry every 2–3 days. About once a week roughly doubles it (Babylist, Nurture&). A winter baby gets 2 extra pairs of socks (Babylist).
  • Each size is worn for about 3 months starting from the due month. Snowsuits, mittens and outerwear count only for sizes worn in fall or winter; sun hats and swimwear only in spring or summer.

Before you buy

four things to check
  • The smallest size.7 of the 22 brands with a size list here start at newborn or smaller.
  • The fiber.It is on the product page and the sewn-in label.
  • The regular price.Sale prices come and go. The table here lists regular prices.
  • The return window.Check how long the store gives you to send a size back.

Questions about mittens

Answers come from each maker's published specs. Safety and health questions link to the agency or medical source.

What is baby mittens?

Winter mittens keep hands warm outdoors. Baby mittens are usually thumbless, with a long cuff that goes over the sleeve. Thumbless mittens go on small hands more easily.

What is the difference between mittens and scratch mittens?

Scratch mittens are thin cotton mitts for newborns, worn indoors. Scratch mittens are thin cotton mitts that cover a newborn's hands so fingernails don't scratch the face.

Which brands make organic mittens?

14 of the 49 brands on this page say they use organic fabric. Use the Organic filter above the table to see them. "Organic" is each brand's own claim unless a GOTS certificate is listed.

What sizes do baby mittens come in?

It depends on the brand. 26 of the 49 brands here list their sizes, and the size chart on this page shows which brands start at preemie or newborn and how far each one goes.

What does OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 mean on a label?

It means the item, or its materials, was tested for a list of harmful substances under that program. We show it only when the maker lists the certificate.
