I have a question. Not food related. Not menu related. 'I need advice from other wise mothers' related. The pre-story first:
Sweet baby Kate has always been swaddled when she sleeps but 9 times out of 10 she breaks her arms free. It wasn't a problem a few month ago but now that our house reaches arctic temperatures at night her little hands are freezing when she wakes up for a feeding. It may be wishful thinking but I'm hoping that maybe if the icicles attached to her wrists weren't so cold, maybe she'd sleep through the night (please, Kate, sleep through the night).
So, the question: how do you keep your babies warm at night? I've tried gloves, a little heater... nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance for your advice on this.
Love,
Shelly
P.S. Any other sleep-related tips are gladly welcomed. I had no idea getting a baby to sleep could be so challenging! Whenever we try to let her cry it out she reaches the point of hysterics and then it's guaranteed that everyone will be awake for at least two hours...
I don't really have an answer. I try to keep my house a little warmer at night because I am worried about my kids getting cold. I think babies hands are colder until their bodies figure out how to keep them warm. Sorry I am not much help
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I would say is maybe try turning up the heat. I sleep so much better when it's colder (plus who doesn't like a cheaper bill) however I also worry about keeping the babies warm so I suffer through until they get bigger and keep blankets on. Good Luck. I also too would love any sleep advice, I can't figure out how to get Brooklyn to sleep through the night.
