Baby Leg Warmers

I've always admired cute little leg warmers on babies - chubby little thighs kept warm by snuggly cotton or wool mixes.  That in mind - when the opportunity came up to review some Bubbly Bubs organic baby leg warmers I lept at the chance.

I have an 11 month old with excema - this means I have to be careful with what goes against her skin - so the fact that these are organic cotton was a huge plus for her.  She wore them all day with no reactions on her skin.   The product was a good size (marketed as one size fits most, unstretched length: 31 cm, unstretched width: 8.5 cm) covering her ankle to upper thigh, and I reckon that I could have put them on her older sister (3) also.   A spandax content of 5% ensured that these stayed put, even with a crawling baby - they didn't cut into her thighs or ankles - a very important design feature.  The thigh opening was a good stretch and I was very impressed with the softness of them.

We were given the 'Midnight Miss' to try out - a cute chocolate and baby pink - but the range they have is impressive, from various colored stars to many mulit-colored stripes.  As a Mum - at the end of the day, it often comes down a toss up between usefulness and the price.  In the case of Bubbly Bubs - I didn't have to make that choice.  The website prices them at $9 - which is less than a couple of cups of coffee in a major centre.  I think they would be an amazing gift for babyshowers, 1st birthdays, christenings - pretty much anything baby related - so stash a few away so that you've got one on hand to use yourself and one to give away :-)
