💭 How It Works
Newborns have sharp little nails and no control over their hands yet, so they scratch their own faces, usually in their sleep or while settling. Most scratch mittens slip straight off. Ours have an extra long cuff that folds to the perfect length and stays put, with 100% Mulberry Silk sitting soft and breathable against their hands so nothing rough touches their skin.
🤍 Safety First
Your baby’s safety is everything to us.
Supervised Use
Mittens are designed for supervised use, not for sleep or unsupervised wear. Always follow safe sleep guidelines.
Breathable & Safe
Our silk isn't just luxuriously soft, it's independently lab-tested for breathability. Proper airflow helps keep your little one comfortable and cool all night long.
Non-Toxic & Certified Safe
Every Silky Tots product is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, meaning it’s been rigorously tested against over 1,000 harmful substances. No nasties, just pure, sleep-safe silk for your baby.
Designed in Melbourne, Made for Safe Sleep
We design every product in Melbourne, guided by Australian SIDS and safe sleep guidelines. Snug, fitted, and nothing loose, because a beautiful sleep surface should never come at the cost of a safe one.

Silk Scratch Mittens
WHY SILK?
Say goodbye to scratched cheeks and hello to silky soft mittens that actually stay on.
Adjustable cuff
Those first few weeks, tiny hands have a mind of their own. Our mittens wrap them in 100% Mulberry Silk, soft, breathable and hypoallergenic against brand new skin, with a longer, gentle cuff that stays comfortably in place.
Breathable
Naturally breathable and light weight.
Our silk has been independently lab tested for breathability where it out-performed cotton.
Gentle on Skin
Silk fibres are naturally smooth, hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant, so there is nothing to rub, scratch or irritate. And unlike cotton, silk doesn't absorb moisture, so baby's natural oils and any creams you apply stay on the skin where they belong. Ideal for eczema-prone and sensitive skin.
Temperature Regulating
Keeps little ones warm in summer and cool in winter.
Oeko-Tex 100 Certified
Independently tested and certified to meet the world's strictest safety standards.
Machine Washable
All of our silk products are easy care! Simply wash on a cold, gentle machine cycle with silk/wool specific detergent.
