In April of 2005, a young mom was confronted with a diaper rash that just wouldn't quit. The rash needed some fresh air to heal, but she was also concerned about keeping her daughter warm. In a moment of inspiration, she snipped the feet off of a pair of socks and fitted her daughter from hip to ankle with a cool set of leg warmers. These leg warmers not only kept her daughter warm, but also protected her from the elements, made diaper changing and potty training easier, and protected her soft knees while crawling. With some fun designs and some grassroots marketing support, the functional and fashionable leg warmers that began as a solution to keep little legs warm quickly became much more.
I heard about Baby Legs through friends on Facebook. I bought a pair for Avery several months before she was born when they were on clearance online. Avery wore her first pair late last week. My friend Kristin reminded me that she made a bunch for her son named Micah. She made them out of children's knee-high socks and used a tutorial found online here. So...off to Target I went to buy some knee-high socks! Here is a picture of Avery in her new "Baby Legs" :)
