What to do about cold baby hands?

Need some help from those in cold climates. It's been quite chilly here in Fla. Well, chilly for us warm-weather wimps. Today it's only around 65. Anyway, Natalie's hands feel like ice! Do they sell baby gloves? I'm guessing not. She won't keep a blanket over her arms when we're in teh stroller so I'm not sure how to keep her hands warm!

    The sock idea cracks me up. Not that it's not good, it's a great idea, it's just funny sounding. My first child refused to keep gloves or blankets on her hands all winter (she was about six to nine months old during the winter months here in AL) and although her hands felt cold to me, she was and is completely fine. Try the socks though, it sounds like they'll work better than gloves.

    Don't have any sugguestions but I am cracking up at the 65 degree "cold" weather! I am glad I am not having a winter baby because it was snowing here yesterday!  PA is usally cold but snow before Halloween is crazy.

    I'm a Michigan Mommy, so we have major cold hands problems, especially at night.

    I asked my pedi about it, and he said as long as her core temp is good, her hands are ok if they just feel alittle cold.  So for sleeping, we just layer her in an undershirt, sleeper, and then a sleep sack. 

    When we go outside I just put mittens on her, even though they are huge for her hands right now.  But they do the job  :)

    LOL 65* is pretty warm where I live.  :) We're breaking out bikinis when it's that warm here.

    They do make mittens for babies. Shall we send you some? Maybe they're hard to find in warmer climates.
