I don't necessarily mean the house, but a sheltered place where you can protect him from drafts and keep him warm. Would mom allow him to be in a wee bag or sock to stay warm? If so, that would help some. If you are having to run outside during the cold, you are gonna get yourself run down so think about yourself too. If I had such a fragile child, I would do what I have read once and seen on TV--bring the baby inside and put it in your bosom. The movement resembles the motion in the mom's tummy and stimulates the baby. Plus, he will be close when you have to feed him. The person who did this BTW had cattle to feed and was described as well-endowed. She was highly admired by the interviewer and author. Heck, I would be impressed too.
Oh, my goodness. If my friends saw this, they would say "Rini, you could keep a whole litter in there!"..LOL |
