Pajamas!

[nerdalert]

Ok, I need some help. LO wears almost exclusively Carter's clothes, but the pajamas are not working out so well. She is VERY chunky and short. Lol. So, their footed sleepers are either the super-tight kind, which I hate, or the regular kind. Right now I have her wearing the regular kind, but the legs are WAY too long on her, while still being too tight around the thighs. 

Anyone else have a short and chubby kid? Which brand footed sleepers work for you? Or have you given up and moved on to two-piece pajamas?

We use two piece pajamas because liam is pretty tall and leanish. We use carters because it is very long and thin.

He had a few things from children's place and they are pretty wide on him. The legs don't seem as long as carters too.

Jumping beans brand seems wider too.

Since it's so hot and we have no ac we are now on two piece shorts sets but those are the things I've noticed. Good luck!

We usually have LO sleep in a onesie and a cotton sleep sack. We have a few of the HALO sacks.

With the footed pajamas, LO was pulling his legs up into the body and then getting his legs stuck. We tried smaller pjs and he would still do it. The sleep sack was an easy solution.

What size is LO wearing right now nerdalert?

jjh1119 I'll have to check out the Children's Place then. We have one close-ish but I've never been there.

sjp03 How warm are those sleep sacks? Those might work if they don't get too hot. Although she may not like her legs being kept together, she sleeps like a starfish. Lol

zengal She's in 18 month clothes. It sucks because those Target Carter's cloth sleepers fit her really well, but they only make them up to 9 months. It's the 12 months and up sleepers that fit so weird.

Ah! My babe is middle-of-the-charts, but some have called her "stocky." There are a few items that are tight around her chest, but we're still in 6-9 month clothes. The garanimals brand from Walmart seems shorter and wider, but maybe just on my shorty. ?

We're having the same problem! DD is chunky and tall and the Carters brand are so tight. We have a sleep sack and it's supposed to be getting really hot here so even with AC I'm going to try and just use a onsie and the sack. We have one two piece pajamas that work alright but I wish we could use the footed ones. She's on 12-18 month size too.

They are the thickness of a t-shirt, so they aren't too warm. They flair out a lot at the bottom, so LOs legs aren't kept too close together.

Where we live, its gotten a bit warm, so it really varies on the temperature, as to what LO wears to bed. I have also found that most stores (around here) don't carry pajamas with feet right now, so that's what LO usually wears. Footless pj's, which work perfect. They are light-weight cotton but still have sleeves. We usually have a fan running in the room he is sleeping in (whether his room or ours). My LO is tall and has long feet so footed pj's aren't always ideal. Luckily its summer time so he doesn't really need it at the moment.

Let this be a warning: I had a friend who just had her baby sleep in a diaper when it was warm. Well one morning she went in the baby's room to find pee everywhere - the baby had managed to unfasten her diaper over night. The kid was only around 6-months old.

[nerdalert]

sjp03 I believe that! My kid ALWAYS tries to undo her diaper as soon as I put it on. #onesies4lyfe

nerdalert MH refers to the onesie as the "diaper keeper".

We sleep in a onesie most nights, but a carters footless jammy or two piece on cooler nights. We don't have AC in her room so it's always a little more on the warm side, but not cool enough for feet covers. My H hates two piece jammies, he says it's basically clothes so why bother. ... because they're CUTE?
