arrg - what exactly is a babygro?

[DivaSkyChick]

We have different terms for baby clothes. Can anyone create a link that shows me the difference between the following:

babygro

cotten vest / stretchsuit

I'd be forever grateful!

babygro usually has full length legs, and feet in, with poppers down the front (or sometimes down the back

vest - either t-shirt style, or has poppers between the legs

stretchsuit - another term for babygro I think - can also be called sleepsuit

where are you from?

babygro implies that the garment has arms and legs, and probably feet.

a vest is sometimes also called a body suit, or I think in some countries a 'onesie'. (or it could be a vest - sleeveless top which I think Americans call an 'undershirt'.)

baby grow also know as sleep suit: www.mothercare.com/gp/product/B000IVV89S/sr=1-4/qid=1 181416943/ref=sr14/203-5220813-4460769?ie=UTF8&mcb=cor e

Thanks Ladies,

I'm from the US. Your "vests" are our "onesies." I'm not actually sure what we call the other suits as I've never been around babies back home. I was reading a list of what to take to the hospital and it did seem to make a difference bettween a stretchsuit and a babygro - I guess they meant longsleeve and legs but not with feet and hands?

Six and a half more weeks to go! yay!

babygro is like a bin bag with the bottom all sewn up with holes for arms like a vest at the top and a zip all the way from the neck to the bottom of the bin bag

No - that's a Grobag/baby sleeping bag. A babygro is an all-in-one suit with sleeves, legs and usually feet, fastened with poppers or a zip. The integral feet mean you don't have to think about socks (which fall off).

I had a May baby and he mostly wore short sleeved vests (with poppers at the crotch) underneath babygros until the weather got warmer.

The blue one is a babygrow or sleepsuit, the white one is a vest or bodysuit
