Yet another clothing question

Some of the long-sleeved baby outfits have extra large cuffs.  And this is for?

Extra warmth?  When I am too lazy to cut baby finger nails?  To discourage putting his/her hands in mouth?

are they cuffs all the way around?  Or are they like mittens that can go over their hands?

 I dont' remember seeing things with extra "cuffs"...

Actually, they do go half-way around.  Are they mittens?

Yes, they would be mittens.

When they're brand new they tend to scratch themselves in the face a lot!  This helps with that and to keep them warm.  They are the best!  DS slept in them every night when he was first born.

yep, turn them sort of inside out and they're mittens.

Yep, they're mittens. We never used them but some people like them. Then again, we never used any mittens, she'd scratch herself and an hour later it would be healed - I didn't worry about it (such a bad mommy I am).

They are wonderful! You don't even have to be lazy for your kid to scratch there face. You can cut there nails and 2-3 days later they will be back. It is truly freaky.

#1 They are there so the baby does not scratch their face and #2 to discourage finger sucking but since #2 is a self soother I'm not sure why...& #3 to keep the fingers warmer... but I always thought I was cooking my child like a turkey...
