Timing plays an important role in getting the most detailed and meaningful result from your baby hand and foot casting. While casting can be done at almost any age, certain stages offer unique advantages.
The Best Time: Newborn Stage (0-4 Weeks)
The most popular time for baby casting is during the newborn stage.
At this age:
- Babies are naturally curled
- They sleep more deeply
- Fine details are easier to capture
This allows for incredibly detailed casts that highlight just how tiny your baby once was.

What If My Baby Is Older?
You haven’t missed out. Casting is still a beautiful option for older babies.
Many parents choose to capture the first month (chubby hands and feet) when babies are generally more co-operative.
Why Timing Matters
The earlier you capture your baby’s hands and feet, the more delicate and detailed the result will be.
Over time, features grow and change quickly.
That’s why many Adelaide parents choose to book during pregnancy or soon after birth.
