Cold hands solution?

lafayettegirl

Seems like no matter what I do, poor DS has cold hands. I can dress him in a gazillion layers, put his hands in a swaddle and roast him over a pit, and he will still have cold hands. It doesn't seem to bother him, but it bothers me, especially in the middle of the night when I am barely awake enough to feed him.

Seriously, his room at night is generally 68-70 degrees and we usually put him in some footie pjs and wrap him in a swaddle. He pulls the Houdini thing and gets his arms out so he can suck on his hands and then sleep with his hands above his head - he's going to be a football ref, I am sure.

Reassure me that I can stop worrying he is freezing at night and that this is just a result of his hands being out and about.

I put white baby tube socks on my DS's hands when we go out in the stoller for long periods of time and he won't keep his hands under the blanket. And I put socks on his feet under his footed PJs for an extra layer.

Okay, good, I am not the only one experiencing this! As a FTM, I try very hard not to freak out until no one on this board knows what I am talking about.

 

Thank you!
