What should I do if my baby's hands and feet are cold before going to bed?

Many babies have experienced cold hands and feet before going to bed. Most of the reasons why babies’ hands and feet are cold before going to bed are due to failure to keep them warm. We all know that babies are lively and active. Many babies will have cold hands and feet because they catch a cold or the temperature does not reach the temperature that the baby can adapt to. So what should we do to prevent the baby from having cold hands and feet?

1. Loincloth is good

The baby is very restless when sleeping, often throwing off the quilt or rolling up his pajamas to expose his belly. The loin wrap is good, so I bought it. My baby is very happy and no longer catches a cold.

2. Roll up the bath towel to hold down the quilt under the baby's feet

This is a method I learned from other mothers when I was struggling to remove my baby's quilt. Just roll the bath towel into a cylinder and press it on the quilt under the baby's feet. This simple method can actually prevent the baby's quilt from falling off! It's easy to do, give it a try.

3. Warm the quilt with a hot water bottle

Because the quilt is cold, put a hot water bottle inside the quilt to warm up the blanket, etc. A hot water bottle can make your bed warm instantly, and if you use it for bathing, you don’t have to pay for electricity, which is quite convenient. (My experience is that after the baby falls asleep in the sleeping bag, put the hot water bottle outside the sleeping bag, which is the area where the baby's feet are, and it is also very warm.

4. Use clips to keep the quilt from coming off

Since babies often pull the quilt off, use a larger clothespin or a clip on a stroller to secure the quilt to the baby's bed so that it does not fall off.

5. Putting your baby in a sleeping bag

My child used to kick off the quilt when he was sleeping, leaving his stomach exposed. So in winter I put him in a sleeping bag so that even his shoulders are covered. It is very warm and the baby can sleep until dawn. (My baby is restless when sleeping in a sleeping bag and likes to stick her hands out, so I often put thick new (of course, unworn) socks on her hands after she falls asleep, so that her arms and hands will not get cold

6. Hang towels on the bed rails to protect against wind

I thought the crib would be cold at night if placed near the window, so I hung a large towel on the fence of the bed to prevent the wind from blowing through the gaps in the fence. The baby seemed to be very warm and slept soundly.

The above methods can all effectively solve the problem of your baby’s cold hands and feet before going to bed. Do not ignore this phenomenon if your baby has cold hands and feet, because it is not good for your baby to have cold hands and feet for a long time, which is extremely harmful to the body and development. Therefore, we must protect the baby's body and prevent this phenomenon from happening to the baby.
