Baby Mittens(3)

Babies' hands lose heat quickly in cold weather, and mittens are among the most practical cold-weather accessories for infants from their earliest weeks. Merino wool is a practical material for baby mittens because it is soft against a newborn's sensitive skin. Unlike coarser wool types, merino does not cause irritation against delicate skin. Merino wool is also temperature-regulating, which helps keep small hands warm without causing overheating, a practical consideration for babies who cannot yet manage their own temperature effectively.

Newborn mittens serve two purposes: keeping tiny hands warm in cold weather, and protecting a newborn's face from scratches during the earliest weeks when babies cannot yet control their hand movements. At DILLING, our baby mittens are available from newborn sizing, making them a practical accessory from the earliest days. Merino wool newborn mittens are soft enough for contact with delicate newborn skin and warm enough for outdoor use in prams and carriers during cold weather.

Cold-weather outdoor use is where baby mittens earn their place in a baby's wardrobe. A pram walk in autumn or winter requires that a baby's hands are kept warm, as hands are exposed to the cold even when the rest of the body is covered by a snowsuit or blanket. At DILLING, our baby mittens are designed for cold outdoor use, fitting snugly over small hands and providing effective warmth during pram walks, outdoor play and travel in cold conditions.
