For only dressing my baby in ‘pyjamas’?

DD is 15 weeks old and small for her age (premature, still wearing 0-3months). Yesterday we attended a mums and baby music class and during the pre-class chat we got a couple of comments about how cute my DDs pyjamas were.

I dress her pretty much exclusively in babygrows and bibs, firstly because she has reflux and can write off at least one outfit a day (our record is 4 in 15 minutes!), secondly because most of our stuff is either secondhand, gifted, or cheap multipacks, thirdly because she still very much needs scratch mitts and she cannot stand cold feet or legs (socks fall off, trousers ride up). But most of all, because she’s a baby? Yeah I could waste money on little jeans and hoodies or dresses, but what’s the point? It’s expensive, wasteful, and makes life harder for both of us when it comes to changing and laundry. I’ve never really viewed babygrows as PJs before, just something babies wear.

AIBU?

My first was a lockdown baby boy and lived in baby grows for months. My second is a girl and I can’t resist buying a few more cutesey outfits (still usually just little tunic dresses over leggings, nothing that crazy!) mostly because it’s just so nice to be out and about with this baby, I’m enjoying choosing her clothes a bit more this time round. But I def wouldn’t think baby grows are just for pjs- my partner said if he was a single dad the children would live in them until they were 2 as anything else is too annoying when you’re changing nappies all day long 😂
