TTMA Sleepwear

[ellabee]

E is growing out of all of her pjs, so I thought I'd ask this before I buy any more. 

What is your LO wearing to bed?
Two pieces? Full body? Footed? Long sleeve? Shorts?
Does your LO use a blanket?

I'm always worried about E being too hot or too cold. Seems like if I don't get it just right, she wakes around 5:30 in the morning and fusses before trying, sometimes unsuccessfully, to get back to sleep. On a good day she'll go all the way to 6:30ish.

(Or maybe it has nothing to do with pjs and temperature.  )

Anyway, E has a bunch of different styles, including full body footed, full body footless (which I think she likes the best), and two piece shorts/tshirts. I mostly grab whatever is clean... She also has 2 small blankets in her crib, but she just likes to ball them up and sleep on top of them.

ETA: Bonus points for links to specific products. (Also, E has hand-me-down hanna anderson pjs and I just looked them up on amazon - $36 plus $9 for shipping?!?!).

In the summer, LO is wearing shorts and a T shirt to bed with a lightweight sleep sack. We have the carters two piece pj sets.
The AC is set at night to 73, sometimes her room seems a couple degrees warmer.

[fish8412]

During the summer LO wears a PJ set that is either pants/tshirt or shorts/tshirt. Carters has great summer PJs. No footed PJs because it's too hot. No blanket.

[g33kyg1rly]

LO is wearing 2 piece Carters PJ sets with long pants and a short sleeve top (I always feel like shorts would be too cold), with a Halo muslin sleep sack. We also keep the AC at 73 and her room temp varies from 71-74.

[zandeela]

she still wears footed PJ's but I keep the house cold (69) and she does not sleep under the blanket yet, just kicks it around. She might use it if she was in a 2 piece though.

[newmomma8]

T wears these cheap short sleeve and pants from Wal Mart. Stays kind of cold in our house, so she can't do shorts.

On a normal summer day (highs in the low 90s around here), we put him in two piece PJs, a short sleeve shirt and pants. He doesn't use a blanket.

Right now it's hotter than the underside of Satan's nutsack and the 30 year old AC unit can barely keep up, so we've been putting him down in just a light tee and diaper.

ETA: most of his PJs are Carter's or Carter's branded sets, like this one we got at Target. I have no idea why it's listed under girls btw.

LOL fishbulb,! Nice description of your heat!

Thanks for asking this, ellabee,! I've been struggling with what to put LO in now that I think she's transitioning to 18m size. We keep our A/C at 73ish at night and I think her room stays about 75ish with a ceiling fan running. She doesn't have a blanket. I always worry that with no blanket, she'd be cold in shorts/short sleeves, so she's been wearing 2 piece carter's long pant/long sleeve jammies or sometimes a cotton/lightweight zip up footed pajama suit. Maybe if I didn't have the ceiling fan it wouldn't be as breezy and then she'd be okay with shorts?

DD1's 18m pajama collection includes pants and a short sleeve shirt (from Old Navy) so I guess DD1 was okay in it?

FWIW: all our jammies are either carters or old navy.

Well since my husband insists on keeping the house so damn cold in the summer, she is still sleeping in either pants and a shirt or her footed sleepers. She has 2 vents in her room so I'm always afraid that she will freeze. She has a blanket in her crib but I have it tucked in so it doesn't move around. I don't know when I'll try putting an actual one in with her, she moves around a ton while she's sleeping.

DD wears two piece pjs right now. I would prefer footed one piece sleepers but I couldn't find any in my price range in 18m.

DD only sleeps with her baby doll and lulu (her teddy). I haven't introduced any blankets. I don't plan to until she is older.

[walkek85]

My DSs sleeping situation sounds similar to katka512. 2-piece short sleeve/shorts PJs from Carters with a cotton Halo sleep sack as his blanket.

As for his crib, he has a flat pillow, Little Giraffe blanket and security blanket in there with him. He tends to flip from one end of his crib to the other and doesn't really use the blanket for warmth. Its about 72-73 degrees in his room and he never looks cold on the camera.

[sanibel21]

I was curious about this too! We have putting her in a diaper and light sleep sack. But of course she peed through it the other day and I couldn't get to laundry so we put her in the pant and short sleeve shirt on set from carters. But she was up at 5 am and then 6 am. I'm wondering if her bare feet were cold.

[wildhoney4508]

Lol at heat description, as well, fishbulb C wears only a onesie ? DH keeps it super warm even though it's hot as hell outside. He grew up w no air conditioning and I grew up (spoiled I assume he thinks?) with central air in a ranch house. We also have to keep the fan on in their room. C gets hot quickly and it's always been a challenge at night but I think she likes this free feeling. Heat rises majorly in our two story tiny townhouse, so it is always 5 full degrees higher upstairs, plus we keep their door closed=stuffiness We do Carter's onesies, which are all awesome! The softer/stretchier, the better!!

[maganonymous]

LO wears either a cotton footed sleeper or two piece jammies. She has both long and short sleeve two piece jammies. I put whatever is clean on her. The shorts/short sleeved ones will be going away when the cold weather comes back again though. It is too cold in her room for short jammies in the winter!

[NellieOleson]

She usually wears a two-piece pants and either long or short sleeve shirt. I think I like the Old Navy ones best. We have some Carter's we like, too, but their sizing is so annoyingly inconsistent. I really don't care for Gymboree pajamas - they are shaped very odd, the shirts seem short, and the embroidery on the front feels super scratchy.

Tonight she's wearing thin, cotton Hatley footie jammies and was totally weirded out by her feet being covered up - it's been a while!

She has a fleece type blanket that she has been sleeping with for months. She LOVES her blankie and gives it kisses. She keeps it on about half the time, it seems. She will actually wake up and pull it onto herself sometimes, too.

Her room is about 73/74 at night, I'd guess?

[sanibel21]

So annyone who doesn't do footies or sleep sack- do you put do socks?

[lakecountrygal]

It's completely weather dependent. If it's a hot humid night he wears a 2 piece short set or a onesie and shorts. If it's warm but not sweltering he wears a 2 piece pants and shirt set. In the winter he will wear footie pjs that zip up because it gets so cold at night.

Until recently, she insisted on socks for sleeping.  Or maybe it's a  coincidence.  But a few nights we forgot socks, she'd be crying and when we'd go in to comfort her, we'd realize she didn't have socks, but them on and then she'd be fine.  Could have just been a coincidence though.  And now we've moved past socks - when we were at my parents it was so hot I left them off and she didn't complain.  I haven't put them back on.  And last night we tried short sleeve shirt with pants and she slept GREAT!  12hrs great!  Maybe it was her shots yesterday, but I'm a believer!  

[ellabee]

sanibel21, we haven't tried to do socks but I always wonder if I should...

I do socks if it's cooler or winter and I'm using a 2 piece set with long sleeves.

No socks. Maybe once it's winter, but I'm not sure. I try to dress her just a little warmer than I would like to be dressed. Socks for sleeping in summer seems like overkill.

[g33kyg1rly]

No socks here either, even in winter

No socks. LO has never liked socks.

[zandeela]

I go with the footie PJ's because Lo will take socks off in a heartbeat. even in the footed sleepers, her feet are still cool to the touch this morning when I changed her.

Us too, or we might go back to footed PJs in the winter.

[RandomName]

It depends on the laundry situation.
Our go to is a tank top or onesie and her light sleep sack.
Lately tho we have been putting on footed pjs or two piece pjs with socks. We keep our place pretty cool and she likes to have her feet covered.

[MadApple]

DD usually wears two-piece PJs now, either pants or shorts depending on how warm it is. She does have two thin cotton footie PJs that I've used on cold days this summer. We're in the hills, so it can get chilly. She hates socks, so she usually doesn't have them on. I do let her have a blanket (and a lovey) in the crib with her because she insists on having it and won't sleep without it. She usually kicks it off though.

[wildhoney4508]

No socks-only in wintertime.

We don't do socks. She hates them during the day so I don't bother at night.

[babycaps]

Cotton 2piece, sometimes short, sometimes long and a halo sleep sack. Always also a onesie.
