Just thought I would share my solution to heating the crawling track for a newborn.
My baby was born in December in SK. I wanted to follow Doman's physical program as best as possible, but I was concerned about the heat. It was -20 Celsius when he was born and will likely be around that for the next 2 months. It is not financially feasible to heat my entire house to Doman's recommendation of 28-30 Celsius. I looked into space heaters and portable fireplaces, but they all seemed unsafe for my 3 year old.
I finally settled on putting the Asics crawling track inside the crib and I am using a heating pad to heat the crawling track from underneath. The heating pad keeps the track warm for the baby at a very reasonable cost. As the crib is up against the wall, the cord is safely away from the toddler.
At 3 weeks old now, the new baby is only crawling 6-8 inches in his 5 minute sessions. During his daytime nap he crawls most of the track and wakes up. I have not been putting him in at night - I have been co-sleeping instead.
