Cosmotot

Who Wears the Pants?

Not my Willdabeast.

Nope. He's much more comfy, cozy and toasty in Cosmotot fave BabyLegs, dreamed up by mom Nicole Donnelly as she searched for a way to keep her daughter's legs warm while allowing her some "nakedy butt time" to try and relieve a nasty diaper rash.

And though we all know how much wee ones love that birthday suit breeze, BabyLegs - which are like a new-and-improved version of that oldie-but-goodie footless 80's staple - are a great way to protect soft, sensitive skin while baby learns to crawl, walk, run, and um, fall.

Using mod little BabyLegs are also a great way to combat what Donnelly calls "gapiosis," or that pesky patch of exposed skin that appears between sock cuff and pant or dress hem every time baby gets hitched up a little farther on mom's hip.

I've found a number of fabulous uses for BabyLegs myself, from covering Will's arms and legs during therapy sessions in chilly pediatric hospitals when he was just a bitty guy to giving him a simple, non-bulky extra layer of warmth in cold weather while he tears around the house.

And, they're not just for the bottle-sucking set either. Moms, Dads, Grandmas and Grandpas can get in on the leg-lovin' warmers, with lengths, styles and materials to suit virtually every personality. BabyLegs are even a great way to add a touch of offbeat chic to any wardrobe with a dizzying array of rich colors, trendy patterns and luxurious fabrics (organic, standard cotton, super-soft and even wool). 

Cosmotot's pick is the cheeky Union Jack (shown at top left), although with everything from Flames to O Canada Lite (shown at right) to Jolly Jack to Ivy League to Miseltoe, it's hard to have just one favorite. And, at just $12 a pop, you don't have to.

If you could only see Willby's drawers - as in the furniture - you'd know I certainly don't.

Cosmomama says there's more in the details:
Though these nifty stocking stuffers are machine washable, they pill quite a bit. Try tucking them into a lingerie bag before throwing them in the wash. It'll cut down on the pilling, and will help maintain the elastic cuff's stretch, too.
