As parents, we all wish we could freeze time — especially in those first few magical weeks of welcoming a newborn. The tiny fingers, the wrinkled toes, the way they curl into your hands — these moments are fleeting, but they don’t have to be forgotten.

At CastForLife, we specialize in creating beautifully detailed 3D baby hand and foot casts that capture these priceless memories forever. But one of the most common questions we get is:

“When is the best time to do baby hand and foot casting?”

📅 The Ideal Time: Newborn to 1 Month Old

The best time to create a baby hand or foot cast is during the first 2 to 4 weeks after birth. Here’s why:

👶 1. Tiny Details Are Most Defined

In the newborn stage, your baby’s hands and feet are still very tiny, soft, and full of delicate wrinkles. Casting during this stage captures every little line, fold, and crease — details that will quickly fade as your baby grows.

💤 2. Easier to Work With

Newborns sleep a lot — especially during the first few weeks. A calm, sleeping baby makes the casting process smoother and more comfortable. Less movement means a higher-quality cast with crisp detail.

📈 3. Babies Grow Fast!

Within just a few weeks, your baby’s hands and feet will start filling out. You’ll be amazed at how quickly they change! A cast taken in the first month preserves their true newborn size — a memory you’ll cherish forever.

💡 What If My Baby Is Older?

While newborn casts are ideal, it’s never too late to create a keepsake. We can create beautiful casts for babies up to toddler age and beyond — but the details and size will vary.

Still, the sooner, the better — especially if you want to capture that tiny newborn magic.
