Sorry, I wasn't sure how to word this title so it's a bit clumsy. DD is 19 months and has CP affecting her right side. Her right arm is very stiff and her arm does not extend easily - I am really struggling to get her into a winter coat as she can't push her arm through a sleeve. Also all coats seem to have really tight little cuffs so it's nearly impossible. I have to confess that I've been avoiding the issue and have been putting her into a little fleece hoody but today I noticed she was really quite cold .
Any advice? Also do you think she'll get even more cold as she's not moving around? I might have to get the cozy toes out too. I'm really reluctant to put her in mittens as about the only thing that really 'works' is her left arm and she likes to fiddle with a toy or something in the pushchair.
Sorry, I'm rambling a bit now.
