Extra long footie pjs w/ hand mitts for 5 week old?

giggler25

Hi Moms! Anyone have any idea where I can find footie pajamas with hand mitts, that are extra long? I have a hard time finding non - newborn - sized PJs with the hand mitts attached at all. Last week I found and bought several pairs from Old Navy size 0-3 months but Emily's legs are so long that her feet are already at the very edge of the PJs! She is 10 lbs ad 22 inches long. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

Don't know about footie pajamas.  But the kimono tops have mittens no?  You could fit that other the pajamas?

I just wouldn't worry about hand mitts.  It's actually better for babies to have their hands free.

@ncbelle‌ - I keep her hands coveted at night BC shell scratch the sh*t out of herself if I don't. I clip an file her nails as often as I can get them still, but they grow so fast and are so sharp! Why is it better for babies to have their hands free?

They scratch themselves for comfort in the womb. I never put mittens on either of mine as this helps them sooth themselves. And they eventually stopped scratching their faces after a few weeks. Once in awhile mine will scratch his face still but not as much as when he was first born.
