Silly baby clothes Q

[ZadieZadie]

DD is 10 months and about to start nursery (🤞).

Obviously we've not seen many other babies so I'm not sure what's normal...

At home she's mainly wearing a long sleeve vest and tights. She takes socks off instantly if she has them on with leggings and so I worry about cold feet with that combo and dungarees ect get in the way of crawling.

Vest, thick tights and a cardi is an ok outfit for a baby, right? Or will she look half dressed?

I used to dress mine in shorts and tights frequently at that age. I found the shorts helped the tights stay up.

I have a boy so not the same but I'd treat the vest as a base layer so I'd have a top on too.

My 10 month old DD started nursery a couple of months ago, I'd also treat the vest as a base layer so have a top over it, and the cardi in your nursery bag incase she needs an extra layer.

She needs additional bottoms and a top. Definitely half dressed.

Leggings would be fine, but tights will look like tights and no matter how old you are you need something over the top of them
Or you look half dressed (as you are)

A vest is not a top layer.

At 10 months my daughter would be nappy, tights and vest with clothes on top, maybe a top and pinafore and (at this time of year) a cardi too.

Vest and tights is a perfect bottom layer, then stick dungarees/romper/top and trousers on top.

With my sock hating DD I put leggings over tights. Defo a top over vest too, vest is base layer

I know our nursery are spending quite a bit of time outside at the mo so I'd add leggings over the tights and a long sleeved top between vest and cardigan.

Why can't she wear trousers over the tights and a top over the vest? How does that affect crawling? You must have a warm house. My baby was in a vest, top and cardi today plus woolen trousers.

Mine wore leggings or dungarees or trackie bottoms at that age, with a vest and a long sleeve t-shirt. At home they were barefoot indoors because our house has slippy floors so safer for pulling up/wobbly walking. In nursery socks are fine because they have to wear slippers when they're indoors and although they would never keep slippers on at home, at nursery it just isn't a problem for them (ditto napping on a bed and eating salad...)

I’d treat vests and tights as a base layer.

Leggings and a long sleeve top with a vest underneath and socks were my go to for nursery (still are tbh!).

Dresses and pinafores or shorts might be best. Looks dressed but knees not restricted. Easier for a girl than a boy. Though boys are fine in tights under trousers. Babies and their socks.

I have a 9 month boy who goes to nursery. He wears a vest, a long sleeved tshirt type top, and leggings/trousers. I always put him in socks but tbh hes pulling himself up to standing now and the socks make for a slippery surface, and he always comes home without them on.

One tip would be to not put her in anything expensive/nice. It always gets trashed.

Now it’s winter I put tights on my 1yo with leggings on top, then a. Long sleeve top too.

For nursery I tend to send her in my lesser cares about onesies, they come home with paint/food stains often!

I know how you feel though, I constantly feel like I’m going to be judged for what I send her in haha

Get some sock-ons. They keep socks on!

I would think they were half dressed to be honest. I used to use vests as tops but with trousers or dungarees over the top.

A vest goes under clothes. I would probably be a bit if I saw a baby just wearing a vest and tights - particularly at this time of year.

The nursery is highly unlikely to be as warm as you house must be.

Nursery is cooler than at home. DS wears a vest, some joggers, a T-shirt and a hoodie or jumper. She'll need more layers. You can get trousers with feet built in but socks will probably be easier, the wee things mentioned up thread are supposed to be good.

To be honest, if I saw a child dressed like that I would assume you intended to put a pinafore dress over and either forgot it, or she was sick on it in the car. Our nursery also asked for layers where possible (so extra top + thinner jumper instead of thick jumper) so they can take off or put on as necessary.

Our go to is legins / vest / long sleeve top, plus jumper in the bag. DD was a early walker so had shoes which also stop her pulling off socks. Would some type of soft booties over socks work?
