Kinckers, tights and vests......

[Bozza]

DD was born in May and is quite a warm little creature so this issue has only arisen with this current cold spell. But I'm never sure which order to put them in. Should the vest fasten over or under the tights? What if she has a dress which comes which matching knickers - should these go over/under the vest/tights? What do you do?

we alsway put the vests under tights and have never bothered with the pants over tights as dd seemed a little to warm with all the layers

Vest then tights in our house. Matching knickers were for decoration and so I put them on over the nappy and she wore socks!! I personally wouldn't bother with them if she's wearing tights!! hth?

I always fastened the vests over the tights, as it helps stop the tights falling down. Agree thst I wouldn't use matching knickers with tights.

God, I'm so glad I have boys.....

vest over tights and forget about the pants unless she is wearing socks instead of tights....

how stupid am i? i was thinking the other day "will have to dress dd in trousers now, too cold for dresses" i have about ten pairs of tights in her cupboard! (slaps herself)

Vest over tights then another pair of tights over vest then a pair of trousers...lol
only way they stay warm enough in winter, I find.

I always fastened the vest over the tights, as it looked neater and helped keep tights up (especially if not brand new). I just used pants over the top ioof everything, as decoration, if going out wsomewhere nice.

My boys wore tights, Tommy! We didn't have central heating so I used to dress them in tights under their trousers in winter. The tights were in really cute colours with cable patterns on them. My sons looked charming, even if I say so myself but being in their 20's now, they prefer not to be reminded about it.

Put my boys in tights as well.

I can't imagine what DH would say.....
Also, trying to potty train DS1 - God knows how he'd manage with tights as well as big boy pants....

My boys wore tights under their trourser in the winter 'cause they pulled their socks off. DD had tights over vest then fancy lacy pants I am afraid. What do you expect after 3 boys though

I have just suggested tights to DP (for DS I hasten to add!) and he didn't bat an eyelid - have a feeling that the Ryder Cup is going to be trouble . . .

Thanks everyone.

....also - I've been bought some knickers for DD (separate to any dresses) with frills on them - are these supposed to go at the front or the back? I know I#m being a bit thick but on my knickers the decoration is on the front (well it used to be before I started wearing Asda white 5-packs to match my nursing bras ) but I'm sure I've recently seen a crawling baby with a frilly backside in the air.

Frills at the back. The idea is that the frills show as decoration when baby is crawling (bum in the air, so to speak).

frill at the back

We just put the vest on then tights and leave out the frilly knickers because it just gets too bulky othereise. Although I have just read the other posts and maybe vest over tights is the way to go. DD was born in November last year so I didn't matter if her tights fell down a bit before!

Make sure you take the tights off when you get in the house because they can get a bit sticky.

Jenniiiiii

Ha Ha, thanks for the entertainment everyone! Looks like Batman had it right then - pants over tights rules!

am I the only one thinkng "knickers, tights and vests - oh my!"

DH says that builders wear tights under their jeans in winter to keep warm.
