dresses and nappies for babies

[happygelfling]

This is probably a really stupid question, but...

What is a baby girl (or boy, I suppose) supposed to wear under her dress? Obviously she has a nappy on, but should she have anything on over the nappy? Some shops sell matching pants with dresses, so no problem there. But what if she has a dress without matching pants? When the weather is cool, then tights, leggings or a vest/body suit are probably sensible, but what about when it's hot? I've never seen a shop selling plain pants for babies.

I think I am perhaps thinking too hard about this!

Good question. I want to know.

You an buy plain pants, or a nappy is okay too. Nobody will be shocked that the baby has a nappy on

I think just a nappy is fine - it is what baby boys will be wearing under their trousers!

This is why I think babygrows solve lots of problems.

My DD has a few pairs that have like you said come as part of a set and she wears them under dresses - I don't like her nappy showing not really sure why

Reusables with nice wraps is the way forward. Disposables require a cover IMO.

Get thee to matalan for a 3 pack of frilly bum knickers for about £5. Cute as anything.

Mine just wore nappies I could never be bothered with the matching pants

So, would you pop a wee baby grow on under a dress?

Yes to frilly bum knickers. I have these for my DD

I don't like seeing nappies on show either

yes i put knickers on my dd when she has a dress, you can get plain ones in john lewis etc, ie in white, dd also has some blue ones that came with a gap denim pinafore and they match lots of her dresses. she tends to have a vest on anyway under the dress but i like to put the little knickers on her.
dresses with matching knickers are the best! but i have some plain ones nad some with ruffles on the bum to put under dresses/skirts that didnt come with any! or else leggings or tights :)

Thanks for all the responses!
Sadly we don't have a matalan near us, but we do have a John Lewis. Not so cheap, but these look nice: www.johnlewis.com/27389/Product.aspx. The vertbaudet ones look nice too.

Actually, the matalan ones are a bargain: £3.50 for 3 www.matalan.co.uk/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=49638.

I think my mum has a matalan near her....!

Next sell them too, so do asda and tesco don't know the prices but I have had them from theses places before

I don't like seeing nappies either. I used to mix and match using the pants that came with dresses. I also bought some from Beauty and the Bib. They were lovely, but I wish I'd known about the pants in Matalan.

they had some in boots today, in the sale! not in my dd's size unfortunately but worth looking in your local boots maybe :)

Thanks for all the suggestions. Our Tesco doesn't sell them unfortunately, but I will try boots. Thanks!
