To always dress my baby in a sleepsuit

Mine lived in sleepsuits at that age. Much cosier and more comfortable for them. Small babies shouldn't have to put up with waistbands, excess fabric etc IMHO. When you're spending a lot of your time lying around you want to be comfy. I wouldn't wear an outfit to bed!

Plus makes washing waaay easier. If you're happy and baby is happy then crack on.

Quite a lot of elasticated waistbands are designed in a way that means they still put pressure on the body in certain positions. Babies can’t explain if something doesn’t feel good, so I just don’t feel great about clothing choices that don’t totally prioritise their comfort.

My two lived in sleep suits at that age. So convenient. All my visions of beautifully dressed babies went straight out the window after the first explosive shart. They are 16 and 12 now and still wear onesies! DS1 is 6ft 2" and looks like the Gruffalo in his. Fair enough, they do draw the line at wearing them outside the house these days😆

I used to cut the feet off and have socks for longer wear time.

No problemo.
I still wear mine.
It is printed to look like a suit and tie! No-one seems to notice, cause they are mesmerised by my beautiful hair and tanned visage.

Not unreasonable at all! Just be mindful that baby’s toes aren’t restricted - my little one has long feet, fine when he first goes up into a size but not after 4-6 weeks.

Same if you use a sling, as the legs ride up.

When ds was 3 months old he would have had mainly sleep suits and then a couple of soft outfits (I think I had 3 or 4) and he only wore those if I wanted to dress him up a little. Other than that he was in sleepsuits and a little cardigan every day. They grow so fast at that age.

I did this with all my 4 used to put them under dungarees too.

Loads of baby jeans are elasticated, and don't dig in to the tummy. I don't really understand them, but they aren't necessarily uncomfortable. I guess like adult jeans - I've never found mine uncomfortable, but I know some people really do.

I'm not sure we need to judge any baby outfits. As long as they're warm enough and comfortable, it is what it is.

Babies should be in comfortable clothes that facilitate easy nappy changes. Whatever clothing you have that meets those parameters is perfect.

@Kokomjolk 100% agree. I never change my baby in the morning but she's inevitably in a different outfit by about lunch time!

Another whose babies wore babygros until they were about 6 months old, often with a cardigan.

My 13 month old still wears them sometimes.
They're quick and easy and she won't keep socks on.
Also, they keep her belly warm in the winter, as she likes to pull up jumpers and dresses.
They're also lovely and comfy for her.
Plus the grippy feet parts are good now she's walking.
I love them.

Oh god I would laugh at anyone who thought a baby in a sleepsuit was inappropriately dressed.

You're fine.

DD is nearly 6 months and usually in babygrows. She's currently snoozing on top of me in a nice fleece one that I put on her after swimming. I prefer the ones with zips. So much easier than the bloody poppers, especially when they start to wriggle around.
She has several cute dresses as well and wears those with thick tights. We never wore dresses growing up and I've only started to do so a few years ago. I want DD to have the choice when she's a bit bigger (she's getting loads of DS's old clothes as well).
As long as they are comfy, it doesn't matter. Our "spare clothes" in the changing bag are just babygrows.

Mine were in sleepsuits all day until they were about 6 months old I think! Children's clothes need to be comfortable, appropriate for the weather/temperature, and easy to move around in, and sleepsuits tick all those boxes. I actually dislike seeing babies dressed up in jeans and frilly dresses etc - I certainly wouldn't choose to wear that for throwing up on myself and napping the activities babies spend most of their time doing!

You dress your baby however you want, my MIL bought my 3 year old DD some very jazzy outfits which she wears to Nursery, i’m always asked “is she dressed in pyjamas?” I just laugh and say no. I don’t care what other people think 😂

I don't think mine ever did - he wasn't really a sick-y baby, and he never had a nappy explosion.

I'd always change him from overnight, because it didn't feel right that he'd be in the same outfit for 24 hours...

Tripe

Is baby happy, comfortable and warm? Are you happy with the easy of changing nappies?

Because if you are, literally nothing else matters.

Mine wore sleepsuits and little vests until he was 6 months old and started pulling himself up on his feet, at which point he was much happier with bare feet.

This. They need to be comfy above everything. Also, sleep suits are adorable.

I can’t bear seeing babies with jeans on. Looks so wrong cutting across their soft little tummies 😭

As long as you're not still doing it when he's 5 and going off to school it's fine! 😂

Seriously, he's 3 months old and it's Winter, he's happy, you're happy, he's warm and comfy, it's all good, anyone gives you grief over it, ignore!
