Keeping baby’s scratch mitts on?

My 9-day-old has very sharp nails, and she keeps scratching her little face :( her scratch mitts are "first size" but they keep falling off her hands. Any tips on keeping the scratch mitts on? I received some nail clippers off a relative in a hamper of baby things, but I daren’t use them on her because she fidgets a lot.

Thanks!

Use socks instead of mitten, it works better and they stay on their tiny hands longer.

    i never used the mitts. I always clipped my boys’ nails while they were asleep because obviously you cant while they are awake. When they were newborns I was always afraid and nervous, but after a few tries I got the hang of it.

    Some of the one piece suits have ‘built in’ mitts, I found with my daughter they worked great because she kept loosing the normal ones too. Basically they have a bit that folds over the hands. As for clipping her nails try it when she is asleep.

    I think the sock idea is great :)
    Try cutting her nails when she is asleep, baby’s nails grow really fast.
