Thanks Guys! I found this Bed Buddy Hot /Cold on
BB&B web site!
Here is the Sew it yourself Hot/Cold
RICE PACK
I have a GREAT IDEA! Why not Take a simple Stuffed animal and take the stuffing out and fill with rice (you can also use corn. I saw some sites for those as well!)? You might need to take the eyes off if plastic?? Not sure? Could test them in microwave. They should be ok as long as they are not attached with any metal. Then your critter would burn up. How sad!
Ba Ha I have it! I have a pair of Silly Socks I got for Christmas one year. The kind that have fingers where your toes go and they are multi-colored! I'll fill those! Cute! Then I'll have 2! One Hot one Cold!
The Rice Sock
What is a rice sock?
A rice sock is a tool that can be placed in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and will provide heat for about half an hour.
What does a rice sock do?
The rice in the sock absorbs the heat from the microwave and dispenses it slowly, providing a long-lasting and renewable source of warmth for the mother. The warmth can help to minimize the pain of sore muscles or relieve tension during labor.
A rice sock can also be used as a cold pack by placing the sock in the freezer for a few hours.
Depending on the size and shape of the sock, it may also provide some pressure for the mother, which can help ease a sore back.
How do I make a rice sock?
Fill a new cotton tube sock with dry, uncooked rice. Seal the end by tying.
You could also sew cotton fleece into any shaped "pillow" you would like and fill it with rice.
If you prefer, your sock can be filled with glass beads, buckwheat, dry corn or other dry, uncooked grain.
Some rice sock techniques:
Have the mother stretch the rice sock under her belly for relief of cervical discomfort.
The mother can "wear" the rice sock like a scarf on her shoulders to help remove some neck tension.
Roll the rice sock up and down the mothers lower back, adding pressure if necessary.
Very Cool!
Thanks
