My First Gummee Glove* | Review anti scratch | baby | gummee glove | lifestyle | mittens | mitts | product | review | teething | whenflowersfall

A few weeks ago, I came across a company looking for parents to review a product called the Gummee Glove. I was pretty intrigued and when I found out what it actually was, I replied to their tweet.

The 'My First Gummee Gloves' are anti-scratch mittens designed for babies 0-3 months. Available in 3 colours, the mittens feature raised silicone dots that massage your baby's gums. They have a velcro fastening at the wrist meaning that these mittens stay on! Any parent knows how difficult it is to get baby's mitts to stay on their hands; and if you are concerned about germs, these are also completely machine washable.

Now, Scout isn't teething yet, he's only two months old; but he does love to chew and suck on his hands. In fact it was the first thing he did after he was born.
It took a few attempts to get the mitts onto his hands, as he is a real fidget and tends to always have in hands in fists. I found his hand had to be almost entirely flat to get the mitt on, but once fastened, these suckers don't budge. He wasn't so sure about them at first, but when he discovered that he could still chew on his fingers, he loved them. I imagine the silicone dots felt really nice on his gums and he seemed pretty content for a good while.

I'd recommend these for any parent who's child is a chewer. It'll save their little fingers and feel great on their gums. They'd even make a great baby shower gift, as you probably wouldn't think to purchase them yourself.
Now the weather is starting to cool down a little, I will be putting these on Scout more often. Those hands of his are for sure his favourite thing.

The 'My First Gumme Glove' mittens are available here for only £7.99. You can also purchase a larger glove, complete with biteable side tabs and a water-filled teething ring for babies of 3-6 months.

Pee pee pads and chew toys

My little man is growing up fast! I swear he's so much bigger than when we got him home last week! 

This week has been a challenge of patience. We've been battling with Bug to get him to use his puppy training pads regularly, and luckily we have wooden floors downstairs, so we haven't had too many disastrous accidents. Apart from the one where he woke from a deep sleep and proceeded to pee all over my sofa. For the past couple of days he's been having a good few hours, then returning to his floor peeing ways. Today though, we seem to have had a break through. His last three pee pees have been on the pad, of his own accord. Usually we have to sit with him and keep placing him back on it until he does one, so this is huge! Liam and I sadly sat, silently cheering as he did his last one. I've got everything crossed that he carries on knowing where to go! 

Other than that, the little blighter has been teething this week, meaning we've had to buy a couple of new chew toys for him to play with. Although, he does seems to prefer fingers at the moment.

One thing he has learnt the meaning of, is the word 'No'. As long as we say it forcefully, he reacts and stops what he's doing straight away. 

Next week he gets his first jab. I'm a little nervous because I know I'm going to feel like a horrible mummy, but I know it's all worth it and soon it means he can finally learn to do his business in the garden. It also means we can start going for walkies! 

Right at this moment, he's lying in his bed, snuggled up in a blanket. Unlike Luna, when she was a kitten, he doesn't make a very good blogging buddy. He always wants to either sit on the keyboard or chew the corners of my laptop.
