these mitten have work out great ! we start use they when we son be around 4 month , and at 5 month they still fit well with room to spare . we do not put they in the dryer , to prevent any shrink issue , so I can not comment on how they would hold up there . the velcro be fantastic at keep the mitten on he hand - he tend to slip right out of other mitten . they look big enough for he to continue wear until he outgrow he scratch issue !
