This is probably nothing new to most of you, but for those of you who haven't done it or are first-time parents who haven't thought of it yet, I'm going to offer you a simple, yet effective hack to keeping tiny people warm on those cold winter nights.First let me tell you that I am neither an expert on parenting (this 2nd one is nothing like the 1st!) or the cold (I live in Savannah, GA, for crying out loud), but this works for us and it might work for you.
Have you ever noticed that when your feet are warm, the rest of you is? Seriously...my arms can be cold and I can warm them up by putting socks on my feet. Strange, but true.
So to give me peace of mind when our babies were either too young for heavy blankets or slightly older but not able to keep a blanket on them (our children flip and flop all night), I simply put socks on them underneath those fleece zip up footie pjs.
It gives me peace of mind and their little bodies always felt warmer in the morning when it was time to get up.
That is something that works for me. If you want to see what works for everyone else, visit We Are THAT Family.

ReplyDeleteI do this with my kiddos, too!
ReplyDeleteActually, on really cold nights they are completely under-dressed with leggings and turtlenecks!
Wow, Noelle--I've done it with shirts, but living in the southeast US, we rarely have the need for fully under-dressing them!
