to not want my baby in outfits?

[Divvy]

He is 10 weeks old. I have today for the first time, put him in jeans and top with a tank-top over the top.

The thing is, I cant friggin hold him now, as the clothes are riding up.

I really like babies in vest and babygros. They look comfy, no band on belly area, and you can hold them, without them feeling like they are falling apart!

After he has been weighed today, he straight back in his babygro when we get home!

ps, I have only dressed him so it looks like I have made the effort

I put my DS1 in one outfit a day as soon as he has puked/pooed in that he gets put in a babygro!

yanbu I am with you babygros all the way here. far easier for you and baby. Mine were in them till about 6 months or so

My DS was premature, and was 3 months old before 'newborn' size fitted him. As there are so few 'outfits' in the tiny baby and newborn sizes, by 4 and a bit months (when he reached the heady heights of 0-3 months clothes) I was desperate for a chance to put him in something other than a babygro. However, variations were only things like dungarees over long sleeved bodysuit, and footed leggings with a bodysuit underneath and perhaps a long-sleeved top over that.

When he was a little older I bought a few tops and trousers/jeans, but as he reached 8 months or so I started to realise that time was running out for 'baby clothes' and started dressing him in more rompers. My sister annoyed me a little once when I went over to visit family and she came around and said "DO you usually leave him in his sleepsuit until this time at home?!" (It was 10am and he was in one of those romper suit things - no feet in. I explained that he WAS already dressed ACSHUALLY!

Both of mine wore babygros or all-in-one type outfits. A lot of the outfits (esp. the denim ones) look really uncomfortable for little babies. I thought my DD looked her cutest in a little whit babygro with a pink cardigan over it

Oh come on, when I got dd2 immunised the other day there was a tiny baby in a wonderful "fitness" outfit - pink tracksuit complete with matching sweatbands on her head and wrists and trainers. Who wouldn't want their baby dressed up as an 80s aerobics teacher?

Lol MrsFogi that has reminded me, my friend bought DD a pink velour tracksuit which was 0-3 months! She wore it too, it was warm no matching sweatbands though I promise! I'm actually going to get my DD some all in one sleepsuits this winter as I think they are cosy under her grobag and it will be the last time she will let me (she's two). She hasn't worn them for ages as I found she couldn't walk in them but they'll be nice for bed.

i do like a pair of dungarees i must say, but what is it with jeans for babies? Or denim dungarees? One little dribble and he's got this mass of soggy denim that never dries out.

DS was bought a bright red Levis puffa jacket (in size 0-3 months) when he was about 8 weeks old. I put him in it to humour my friend but the poor boy couldn't move in it!! Its since been 'recycled' lol

I bought loads of baby outfits before dd was born, then when I put them on realised she looked uncomfortable and put her in really qute babygrows instead...

If I was going out and wanted her to be dressed up a little I put on a qute bodysit with trousers instaed of all the tops and tshirts I bought as she always looked hitched up. Esp when her dad had her...

Oh, dont worry! I changed him into a baby gro after he was weighed, which was a very good idea as had to hold him for the next 2 hours while older dd did say and play. He really would have fell to bits after being held while standing up for all that time!

Plus I nearly pulled his hips out of joint getting the jeans off him!

Oh yes babygros are fab (with cardigan or a soft hoody if it's cold). The comments about it looking like 'pyjamas' is just ridiculous - like babies never lie down or sleep during the day!!

I love my ds in babygros- it's all he really wears and he's 18 weeks. I didn't realise anyone would think it strange or that he wasn't 'dressed' With dd I did put her in dresses and things, but she was born in a very hot summer. This time, I want to enjoy ds being a baby. I also think that for boys, the outfits are much less comfy looking. I have no desire whatsoever to put him in jeans and waistcoats. I just think its a bizarre waste of money (ditto baby 'shoes')

No point putting them in anything but babygros till they're at least sitting up by themselves. I wouldn't find jeans very comfortable if I was in bed most of the day !
My mum always whinged at me, saying "put them in something decent, not just a babygro" but I ignored her. Do whatever works for you.

if i remember rightly i didnt dress my ds in clothes until way over 3 months babygros and cardies for him

Outfits never seemed comfortable for DS, they always looked like they were really restricting him. He was always in Baby Gros with a fleecy top and hat when cold.

DD wore little two piece stretchy pajama type suits from Next that made her look like a little burglar (all stripy). I bought them in ascending sizes until she was about 6 months old. Comfort paramount for babies.

Also babyshoes are pointless imo. They always fall off and I always felt like I was squeezing their little feet into them. Plenty of time to be uncomfortable later in life.

Babygros all the way! With soft cardi over the top if cold. I can't bear seeing tiny babies in hard denim trousers or rigid little dresses and shoes - it makes me wince!
So much snugglier for cuddling too.
My DD's were quite old ( a few months anyway) before I put them in anything very structured. I did have daytime (pretty) babygros tho and plain ones for night so I felt I was still getting them 'dressed' in the morning!!!
(not that they cared, just made me feel like a good mummy!)
