How thrifty of you to use an old felted wool sweater. I like the stripes! I hope it works out well for FrugalBaby. The sweatshirt is a good idea too, although we always just use soft & roomy socks over the little hands (like the previous commenter mentioned). Almost like wearing mittens to bed, and the little hands stay warm and toasty! You did a great job on that diaper cover! How thrifty of you to use an old felted wool sweater. I like the stripes!

I have the same problem with my daughter always waking up with cold hands. Keep in mind that babies hands will almost always feel cooler while sleeping - something about circulation slowing down during sleep and a still maturing circulatory system. Not that it is any less concerning when you feel those cold little hands...especially on your warm skin for a midnight feeding! That is definitely an idea I will have to look into. I thought about adult socks put on before the jammies, therefore tucked far into the sleeve and less likely for baby to get off. That is a great idea for the sleep sack.

And a great idea about the sweatshirt too. I'm thinking of using wool covers on the new babe too, I like that they're natural, breathable, and you can make them out of recycled materials. I found this great tutorial online for "bum sweaters" that you might get some use out of as well: http://www.borntolove.com/frugal-column2.html Take care! Alissa Hey Frugal Babe,
That looks great! And a great idea about the sweatshirt too.
