Real baby pro tips

Totally disagree with their recommendation of zipper PJs! They were so much less convenient that I got rid of all of them and exclusively bought snap pajamas from Old Navy because they had the hand covers too.  *Edited snap from button... buttons would be the worst idea ever.

"Sometimes babies cry and you can’t figure it out. In moments like that, set them in their crib for a moment and eat cookies. " No joke, DD1 and I made sugar cookies this afternoon while LO was supposed to take a nap but ended up crying for no reason... I ate like 4 cookies already.

"When you have a new baby, it’s okay to secretly hate non-parents for complaining about how tired they are." I don't know how many times I've just sat and bit my tongue when a friend complains about being so tired. I try to remind myself that they simply don't understand...

I'm snap PJs all the way!

Oh, and if I threw away every outfit LO had a blowout in, she wouldn't have any clothes.

Team neither on the pajama front. Gowns until 4 months and then wearable blankets or sweatpants after that! I gave away all of our snap and zipper jammies after trying to wrestle his wiggly ass into them for a week. I regret nothing.

Also Team No Pants. I'm living happily in maxi skirts, leggings, and yoga pants. It's a miracle I haven't set fire to my pants with buttons yet...

LO is going to switch to regular pajamas (long pants + long sleeves) when she grows out of her snaps next. She has three new pairs that match DD1... so long as DD1 likes matching, I'll encourage it.

Matching is my favorite!

I hate pants at this age though because (1) they can cause the diaper to ride down if there's not onesie and cause poopslosions, and (2) they are a pain to get on and off a wriggly baby.

Around this age for my daughter we started using the one piece pjs without the feet since she wasn't proportionate height and weight wise.

Yeah, we did that with DD1 too but there is no way DD1 would wear one piece pajamas at this point. And matching!!
