The Problem Isn't The Nails. It's Everything That Happens After You Clip Them.
You clipped them on Monday. Filed them on Wednesday. You're doing everything right.
But newborns don't scratch on purpose — their hands move before their brain can stop them. A startle reflex. A sleepy face-rub. A tiny fist that found a cheek at 3am when no one was watching.
Most mittens aren't built for that. They're built for a baby who stays still. Which is not a baby.
Little Shield mittens are designed around the actual problem: a newborn wrist that is very small, very round, and very good at escaping basic elastic. The fit is snug without being tight, soft without being slippery, and secure enough to survive a full night of the most determined little Houdini.
Because the goal isn't a perfect product. It's opening the bassinet tomorrow morning and seeing that perfect face — exactly the way you left it.
