Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag and Eczema Mitten Sleeves Bundle - Day and Night Set for Eczema-Prone Skin

My baby pulls her mittens off and scratches all night. What helps?

Mittens rely on a cuff around a tiny wrist, and babies wriggle free. The Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag and Eczema Mitten Sleeves Bundle covers her hands two ways. By day, the mitten sleeves sit across her shoulders with no wrist elastic. At night, the sleeping bag's fully enclosed sleeves keep her hands inside. If her skin is weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP or child health nurse.

My toddler scratches at naps and in the car, not only at night. Will this set cover those times?

Yes. The Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves are made for awake time, naps and car trips. Fold the silk mittens closed when the scratching starts, and open them again for play. At bedtime, he goes into the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with its fully enclosed sleeves. One set covers the whole day and night.

My baby wakes every night scratching. Will this help her sleep?

Less scratching often means fewer wake-ups, for your baby and for you. The sleeping bag in this Day and Night Set keeps her hands inside fully enclosed sleeves all night, with nothing to pull off. The double-ended zip means night nappy changes happen without taking the bag off, so she stays covered.

I'm tired of buying pieces that don't work together. Why a bundle?

The two pieces split the day between them. The Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves cover arms and hands while your baby is awake. The Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag covers her at night. Buying them together as the Day and Night Set saves compared with buying each piece separately, and orders over $99 ship free in Australia.

What ages does the Day and Night Set suit?

The set suits babies and toddlers from 3 months to 3 years. The sleeping bag comes in Small, for 3 to 18 months, and Large, for 18 months to 3 years. The mitten sleeves come in newborn to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, 1 to 2 years, 3 to 4 years and 5 to 6 years. You choose a size for each piece.

Is the bundle suitable for newborns?

The sleeping bag starts at 3 months, so the full Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag and Eczema Mitten Sleeves Bundle suits babies from 3 months. For younger babies, follow your midwife or child health nurse's advice on safe wrapping. To cover arms and hands from birth, the Newborn Eczema Set pairs the mitten sleeves with a Nap Ninja bamboo bodysuit.

What fabrics are in the bundle?

The Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag is 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton. The Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves are 70% bamboo viscose, 25% organic cotton and 5% elastane, with 100% natural silk mittens. Both are soft and breathable, and chosen for eczema-prone skin.

Will the set make my baby too hot?

The sleeping bag is a light 1 to 1.5 TOG, in breathable bamboo and organic cotton. Match it to the room and dress your baby to suit. The mitten sleeves cover only the arms, hands and shoulders. Check the back of your baby's neck or chest to make sure she isn't too warm.

How do the two pieces work together through the day?

Through the day, your baby wears the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves over a bodysuit or outfit. The silk mittens stay open for play and close for naps or scratchy moments. At bedtime, take the sleeves off and zip her into the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag. Its fully enclosed sleeves cover her hands all night.

Can my baby wear creams under the set?

Yes. Apply creams first, then dress your baby. The mitten sleeves and the sleeping bag help keep cream on the skin instead of rubbed onto the bedding. A soft bodysuit under the sleeping bag helps keep cream on the tummy and back. Ask your GP or nurse before using either piece over wet wraps.

How do I put the mitten sleeves on?

Slip one arm in, then the other, and settle the back across the shoulders like a little shrug. Fold the silk mittens over the hands for sleep or scratchy moments, and fold them back for play. The Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves go on over a bodysuit, a top or pyjamas.

Is a sleeping bag with sleeves safe for my baby?

The Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag has a fitted neck, fitted sleeves and no hood, so your baby's head and face stay uncovered. It replaces loose blankets in the cot. Choose the right size so your baby can't slip down inside, and follow Red Nose safe sleep advice.

Is there elastic at the wrist of the mitten sleeves?

No. Nothing digs into sore skin at the wrist. The Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves stay on because the two sleeves join across the back and sit on the shoulders, not because of a tight cuff. Every piece is sewn as flat as possible to reduce rubbing.

Why are the mittens silk?

Silk is one of the smoothest natural fibres against irritated skin. When the mittens on the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves close, 100% natural silk is what touches your baby's face and body when she rubs or scratches. Many scratch mittens use cotton instead.

Do I need both pieces, or will one do?

Each piece works on its own. The mitten sleeves suit awake time, naps and nights in other sleepwear. The sleeping bag suits nights alone in the cot. If your baby scratches day and night, the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag and Eczema Mitten Sleeves Bundle covers both and saves compared with buying them separately.

How is this different from the Eczema Sleep Kit?

The Bamboo Bubby Eczema Sleep Kit adds a Nap Ninja bamboo bodysuit to the sleeping bag and mitten sleeves, with sizes matched to your child's age. The Day and Night Set has the two main pieces only. Choose the kit if you also want a soft base layer under the sleeping bag.

How is this different from regular scratch mittens and a standard sleep sack?

Regular mittens cover only the hands and often slip off. Most sleep sacks leave the arms bare. The Day and Night Set covers hands, wrists and arms by day with the Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves. At night, the sleeping bag's fully enclosed sleeves cover hands and arms, with adjustable sleeve length and a double-ended zip.

Which sizes should I choose?

Choose the sleeping bag by age: Small for 3 to 18 months, Large for 18 months to 3 years. Choose the mitten sleeves by age too. If your child is between mitten sleeve sizes, size down, because a snugger fit stays on better. Email info@nellavosk.com.au if you'd like help choosing.

How many should I buy?

One Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag and Eczema Mitten Sleeves Bundle covers day and night. Many families add a second pair of mitten sleeves or a second sleeping bag, because night-time leaks and creams mean a lot of washing. A spare keeps your baby covered while the first one dries.

How do I wash the set?

Machine wash warm, then line dry or tumble dry low. Cool iron if needed, and no bleach. A fragrance-free detergent suits eczema-prone skin best. Both pieces wash the same way, so they go in the same load. A spare pair of mitten sleeves keeps your baby covered on wash day.
