Leg Warmers for the Baby- A Natural Fit
With our second child (boy) we discovered the many benefits of leg warmers for the tots. Sure they look cute but they are also a significant “parent hack” as listed below;
- Makes diaper changing a breeze
- Perfect for airing out diaper rashes when the child needs nakedy butt time
- Promotes independence while potty training
- Keep legs warm; great with carriers & strollers
- Protect soft knees from harsh surfaces
- Allows barefoot walking to help your baby develop balance
- Light-weight sun protection
- Great protection against bugs, i.e. mosquitoes
- Toddlers will love them for playing dress-up
- Extends wear of childrens clothing (knees and elbows)
- Arm warmers for all! (Road Bikers, Kids, Adults, etc.)
- Soothing for eczema and other skin conditions
- Wear over bandages to keep child from removing
- Provides compression for ice or heating pack
- Wear over a cast to protect & individualize outer layer
- Wear under a hospital gown to keep arms/legs warm
Listed below are a number of online shops that have a decent selection and reasonable prices. Leg & arm warmers have caught on as a baby accessory in the recent past so you can find them in mainstream stores as well, but with a limited selection of styles and colors.

is the eighth book in over ten years by author (and Hollywood star) Jamie Lee Curtis and Artist Extraordinaire Laura Cornell. It not only introduces some important words to kids but brings up important family stuff like, “privacy”, “cooperation”, and “patience.” My wife and I quickly found that the book spurred some interesting and candid conversations with our four year old about what is “possible” and “impossible.” What more could you ask for from a childrens book?
