Mitten Dilemma

As of today Sheraz is 4 months 1 week old and he's still wearing mittens! The reason is he likes to scratch himself A LOT especially when he's sleepy and crying. When I say a lot it is A LOT. We just cannot control it.

So, before making any judgement one should know my baby well.

However I take them off occasionally, especially during play time. I always make sure his nails are short and blunt. But still, nails are nails, they still scratch and leave scars on his skin.

So I don't need somebody to check on his nails! Don't accuse me of not clipping his nails. I am his mother I do what I'm supposed to.


Personally, I wish I could get rid of his mittens *sigh*

So, please don't scold me for letting my baby wear them. It's not like he can say to himself right now "Oops, I scratched myself and it hurt. I won't do that again!" As I said, one should know my baby well. And one has no right to judge this don't-know-how-to-do-our-way town girl.


If one says he may delay his hands coordination or whatnot. I may say "no, he may not." I keep on track of what he may be able to do every month and make sure he gets the necessary practice.

So please stop making me feel I am a bad mother. I believe I know what's best for my child. For goodness sake, why should I need to explain all these in the first place.
