So remind me, the holy grail. Is there such a thing as a newborn baby sock that stays on? Point me there now!

Little guy is in 2 piece stuff as he is a little porker and too long in the leg for most baby gros with feet in them and too small to go up too many sizes... plus we're in cloth naps a bit of the time.
Socks don't stay on
What the hell do I use? Is there a sock
I heard baby gap socks were good, is it worth the trek and ethic moral conscience (sweat shops in China, child labour yada) just to find a pair of bloody socks?

Results are in
They all work
Sock ons good for slimmer socks, but live in fear now of losing the sock ons...
the soggs are excellent.
And the bobux the best of all...

Gap

Gap, and Matalan towelling socks

SlightlyMadSpringBunny · 06/04/2007 20:54

GAP socks used to stay on DTDs.
Just about everything except GAP would stay on DD3 - but she had positional talipes which I think helped the socks stay on. Not sure why the GAP ones didn't. Maybe they were stretched and worn out by DTDs.

Gap

3catstoo · 06/04/2007 21:19

Gap. 3 of mine had Gap socks as babies. They do work.
Unfortunately they stop at size 4-5 yrs. Now I have to shop elsewhere for socks.

Griffpot · 06/04/2007 21:36

I have a couple of pairs from Gap which won't stay on. The only ones which stay on that I've come across are towelling ones called MP and made in Denmark. They were recommended by a friend and I bought mine in a baby clothing shop in Oxford.
