To always dress my baby in a sleepsuit

[someladdersandsnakes]

My baby is 3 months old and he only wears vests and sleepsuits. We have a few outfits that were gifted but I don't put him in them really because changing is a faff. Even body suits with socks, the socks don't stay on so fuck that. I've started taking him to baby classes now and in the 3 classes we've been to he was the only one in a sleepsuit. Does nobody else do what I do or is it like, considered lazy or something like if I came to baby class in my pyjamas?

My son had horrendous reflux and threw up after every feed. Outfits were pointless as they just got puked on. At least the sleep suits were easier to change ! He was about 5/ 6 months before he started wearing an outfit every single day

Oh definitely, I think outfits are such a waste at that age. Yes it's cute, but is really unpractical and uncomfortable for the baby I imagine.
3 months is still tiny, no one should expect anything more especially in winter

Baby’s needs at this point are to be kept alive I’m sure they aren’t worried if they’re in a sleepsuit or leggings and top. How on earth is OP not doing what’s best for her child by dressing them in a sleepsuit?
Your priorities are very odd.

😂🤣 needed a laugh thank you

I rock up to all my baby classes with my 3 month old in sleep suits. Who gives a crap what others think? I rarely even notice what the others are wearing! I will probably dress her like this until 9-12 months, maybe 9 months if less reflux by then, but equally weaning is a mess fest for years!

Dressing a floppy little baby is nuts to me, if it was warmer in this country they’d just be in a nappy 😂.

She also hates it when dressing becomes protracted so this is a win all round.

Ooo I love a sleep suit on a baby. If your child dressed and comfortable with as little fannying about as possible that seems like a win! We all want to be comfortable. So many of us put on pyjamas as soon as we can. 🙂
When one of my children had a life threatening illness at 2 she wore pyjamas everywhere. What other people thought was irrelevant!

So minimising the faff of changing clothes in a small baby’s routine is somehow selfish and means the baby loses out?

I believe that’s what the youth of today call ‘a hell of a reach’

Your baby your choice!

My babies were all in sleepsuits and vests with cardigans in the winter until they grew into 3-6m clothes and then I started dressing them in outfits.

Do what feels right for you.

Look, it's the comment by @someladdersandsnakes pertaining to dressing her child 'being a faff..' that I object to.
One's child should be a priority, not a faff. It smacks of irritation about doing anything for the baby that inconveniences the OP

Do not give it a second thought- babies wearing sleepsuits are just so snuggly like little teddy bears!
Nothing worse than a baby wearing a baby sized adult outfit. Particular bug bear toddlers in full suits at weddings... ( went off on a tangent then lol)

I always think how uncomfortable babies look in clothes. Banygrow is much nicer when they're small

I didn’t bat an eyelid at babies in sleepsuits when we went to classes, because I know how stressful it is getting a little one and yourself ready and dressed to get to class on time. I was very lucky that partner works from home so would always have an extra pair of hands to help, therefore I enjoyed getting new little outfits for baby class (seems mad in hindsight).

Oh dear, you are very easily pleased then.
That's a worry

I did the same for my dc. Much easier imo. And I think they looked cute and comfortable.

I’m sure mine wore sleep suits a lot. My eldest is a spring baby so he was in the little shorts romper suits, no socks, quite a lot too

YANBU, people bought so many little outfits for our DC and I ended up donating lots of not worn clothes.

I did tend to use long sleeved bodysuits and tights/leggings when out though, just for because I found it easier for nappy changes.

Started doing more clothes 4-5 months here. Before that sleepsuits all the way!!

I can't believe you keep doubling down on this nonsense.

If babies could talk they would 100% be #TeamBabyGro every time. Comfy, 'socks' stay on, warm, easy to sleep and wiggle. It's weird adults who want them to look like tiny models.

There’s a reason that onesies are so popular OP!

If I had a child I would 💯 dress them almost exclusively in sleep suits and babygros!

You can get lots of lovely types and different weights for all year round 🙂

@ItFellOffAgain I am it's true! I'd be more worried if I was snarking on a baby grow thread though :)

I mean, if she had said ‘playing with my baby is such a faff’ or ‘singing to my baby is such a faff’ or ‘feeding my baby is such a faff’ I’d agree with you.

But wrestling the arms and legs of newborn in an out of clothes multiple times a day really is a faff. For a lot of parents, sleepsuits make that a bit easier. Last time I check there was no correlation between how much you care what your baby is wearing and how much you love them.

They are babygros in my mind, not sleep suits. Mine wore them all day as babies- warm and comfortable for them which is just what they needed. I love a baby in a babygro- super gorgeous

Oh, Dr Spock/the nanny expert et arrive!
I hane NOT mentioned dressing a baby in model or doll clothes.
Open you bloody eyes and read that my objection was that the OP thinks dressing her child in anything but a babygro is a faff.
Don't label your child, or the fact you have to parsnt it, a faff.

That’s such stretch there, and a really nasty comment to. The OP said changing the baby into little outfits is a faff. Which it is. Trying to button up dresses or shirts on a wriggly baby that’s crying because they don’t want to be dressed is a faff. It doesn’t at all suggest the OP is irritated by doing anything for the baby or finds looking after them inconvenient.
