Often babies have cold hands and feet - the best way to check that your baby is warm enough is to check their tummy. If that's warm, I would say your little one is probably ok. I would also say as long as they're not waking, they're probably ok.
Do you have a temperature gauge in her room? They are really useful and often reassure you! Often the temp in my dd's room would be too warm if anything, but her hands would still be cold.

Sleeping bags are great, as at that age they don't keep blankets on. You could try the mits, but I think your lo would just get them off. In this weather, I would put the baby to bed in a vest, sleepsuit and the sleeping bag - this should be fine.
Also check that there are no drafts in her room.

Does she sleep in a long sleved sleep suit? This keeps my ds warm, you can buy fleece ones now its comign into winter (primark are good) also sometimes I put scratch mits on ds, he rarely keeps them on but he will if its cold (he's 5 months). You could also try turning the heat up in her room. I think if they are just a little cold its fine but its they are a blue/purple colour thats a bit too cold. hth, I think its a problem alot of us have lol

she is 7 mths old, and she sleeps in a sleeping bag because she kicks to much at night, when she wakes up in the morning her hands and feet are really cold what else can i do, we have tried putting a blanket over her but it never stays on.is it ok for her hands and feet to be cold... the sleeping bag is a 2.5 tog and i dont think there is a higher tog...





THANK YOU SO MUCH, WILL TRY THAT
