Okay, Dumb Question of the Day...

[Guest guest]

I've been amused and comforted by the clothing discussion. It's nice to know

I'm not alone. However, I've wondered off and on about sleepers with footies -

I know we aren't supposed to use them with the shoes but I've been wondering why

not. We have the shoes and I keep looking at them and wondering why I

can't just put those on her and put the shoes over them for the night. Sure,

there are seams but some of her socks have seams as well and it doesn't seem to

bother her. So is there something else? Yeah, I know - dumb question of the

day! LOL

I don't think it's a dumb question, I don't know the answer and I

would like to know because people gave my son pajamas with feet for

the baby shower. I thought the feet could just replace the socks. So

thanks for asking the question.

There is no such thing as a dumb question. I may be in a minority, but

I did occasionally use footed sleepers with my older son's (who is now 6

1/2 years old) FAB. He had the Markell shoes on his though. The

thinner sleep and play type sleepers aren't too bad if they are long

enough. I was able to use a blanket sleeper in the shoes, but only when

the shoes were larger. Part of the reason that it probably isn't

recommended is that the material can bunch up in the shoes and cause

slipping or sores.

My biggest prblem with Pj's and the DBB/shoes is that it never fails,

when I put my son in Pj's that can not be removed without removing his

shoes also he always will end up soaked & needing new pj'S. But throw

on one of those soft little one piece romper things (no feet) and he

usually ends up dry. This way I can do a diper change at midnight

beofre turning in myself.

My son is now 22 months, I am praying that th doc will let us give up

the DBB at night at his 2 yr old apt. It is getting harder & harder

to find one piece rompers...I do not even think they make them above a

24 mo. Lucky for me he runs true to size & age, my daughter always

ran the next size up.

While on clothing subject anyone have luck finding really small snow

boots...like a size 2 or 3??? I think I will start a new

thread...Good Luck

Hi,

I just peeked in on this thread and haven't read the whole thing. I

found some one piece outfits at Babies 'R Us - I think they're

MiniWear - and they have snaps on the chest and in the legs.

While they might be playsuits, they look like sleepers. We have

several pairs of these and they're great. I think they run up to 24

months - I'm not sure but you might want to look around in their

store. I don't think you can get them on the website, though.

OK - I'll offer one more thing on this. In the sewing department at Wal-Mart

I found these little elastic straps with a snap at each end (on the button

rack). I cut the feet out of his jammies, then use these straps to hold the

pant leg down so it doesn't ride up and give him a chilly leg. I snap one end

of the strap to one seam (say the inside seam of his pant leg) go under his

shoe with it, and snap to the other seam. Holds the pant leg down over his leg.

This made me laugh. I remember 's first Halloween. We had

bought him this little outfit from Old Navy that had snaps in the

crotch. I was working at the hospital and my husband was at home

getting the boys dressed to bring them trick-or-treating at the

Hospital (they have an event there each year for hospital

employees). He calls me frantic--there were solid one inch bands at

the ankles that we had not noticed when we bought the outfit. He had

not been in the shoes very long and neither one of us were able to

put his shoes on alone yet because he fought you so bad. So I was

like cut it! We'll never use it again anyway! Memories........
