Baby Booties - Keep Your Baby Warm and Looking Stylish

It is very important to keep babies warm, particularly when they are very small and cannot maintain their own body temperatures correctly. By the same token experts believe that Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) can be reduced if a baby is laid on their back and not covered with piles of blankest to sleep at night. But how can this be done, particularly in the cold northern hemisphere winter? Well baby booties can help!

If you put booties on your squirmy baby, dress them warmly, and pop an all-in-one footed sleeper on the top, they will stay warm and cozy for sleeping at night or being taken on an outing to the grocery. When their feet are extra warm, the baby is generally warm too. While keeping your baby warm is very important, overheating them can also be dangerous, so take care, although this delicate balance can be tricky.

Baby booties have been a favorite for moms to keep pre-toddling babies warm for centuries. These can be knitted, crocheted, sewn; made from wool, cotton, felt, fur or other fabric; and as a sign of the times, the most amazing patterns can be purchased.

If you are not handy and you know someone who is, get them to crochet some divine Converse high top bootees for your baby. They are all the rage at the moment and you can find free patterns for these online. They even have little laces which tie at the front to give them that genuine high top look.

If you are not having a baby, but you know someone who is having one and you are good with your hands, make these as gifts. In fact make a few pairs in different colors. They make super gifts and if you keep a few pairs spare in your closet - someone is always having a baby, and you will always have a few ready-made gifts handy.

Baby booties are just what cute little baby feet need to keep them snug and warm. They are always made out of the softest materials, be it yarn or leather, and they are soooo cute! There are so many different adorable designs you can buy or make, that you will be spoiled for choice and your baby will be spoiled too. There is nothing quite like dressing them in the cutest little set of baby booties.

For baby showers or even Christening gifts, a small shoe box covered with gift wrap and filled with a half dozen pairs of hand crocheted or knitted booties makes such a special gift. You fill them with cotton wool or tissue paper to give them shape. Pop the lid on the box and tie a ribbon around it for the perfect gift. Or if you already have a gift for a shower, pop a pair of baby booties on top to decorate the gift instead of a ribbon. It really lends a super handmade touch to your gift.

Baby booties are available in so many different styles and you can even find personalized versions for both boys and girls. Believe it or not, Christian Dior also makes baby booties, but then they also make the most divine baby perfume too!
