Onesies

[littlemissmuffet]

I hate onesies period. I have less than 10 for my baby, that were gifted, because I think they are weird and I refuse to buy them. :: I would make an age cut off.

Less than 10? My kid has HUNDREDS, ! I hate tees for babies because they always ride up.

[Cradle2crayons]

Onesies don't bother me at all. And where I live you can't buy them over twelve months so no worries with training kids in them.

Slightly OT, but I had a boy "potty training" while wearing a onesie under overalls with a pullover sweater on top. And STILL, he ****ed one thumb and wrangled the other thumb under and over and around all those clothes to stick it in his belly button. Potty training did not go well.

[Patches]

Yes!!! Really I do not like them in onsies after they start walking.

:: After dealing with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss, I'm a complete weirdo (okay, freak) about the clothing being put on this baby that came from my womb. I have spent this entire pregnancy bargain hunting for expensive brands (for CHEAP) in the styles I want. It's the "style" of most onesies that I truly don't like. So, I've fixated on clothes and bows. I'm actually a weirdo about what goes on my teenager as well.

I only used 20 or so when I raised my Godchild because I didn't like them back then either, but it was what was gifted to me so I just used what I had.

I don't mind onesies until they are potty training. My kids did the onesie, then undershirt thing, and I wear a (long) cami under everything. Crack kills.

[blandino]

BOTH my own kids wore onsies until they were toilet trained and then they simply wore undershirts.

My DD was toilet trained around 21 months and my DS at 26 months.

Up until then though they both wore onsies.

I wore an undershirt while growing up too...the tank style with the little bow in the front. I wore one until I probably started wearing a bra. But even now, I wear a tank top under almost ALL my shirts.

I don't know why. Just something I've always done.

I also never have more than 3 (MAX) kids under 2 here so any kids wearing a onsie wouldn't bother me or slow me down. It is what it is.

I prefer the PITA of dealing with a onsie than to see a baby/toddler with their butt cracks hanging out or their little bellies exposed to the cold.

I also do the tank top thing, under basically every shirt I own.

I definitely agree with the cold on their tummies, and when they are little I see the point that cold would cause discomfort thus crying and irritability. But on a 23 month old, they just seem cumbersome - especially in 95 degree heat.

Maybe because this DCG is babied in so many other ways, that this just adds to my list of irritations and ways her parents babying her makes my life more difficult.

I'm the same, DD always had a onesie on as an infant (and as a toddler still wears them). Never really as a stand alone outfit or without pants but as an undershirt. Our house is terrible on heat and DD was a winter baby so she always had one under her clothes. I had them as a kid and I hate that shirts always rode up when she moved around. She still wears them at night (18months) and under outfits unless its warm out. Once she starts potty training I'm done with them though.

It doesn't bother me but I just have 2 under 2 the rest are potty trained.

I rarely snap more than one button, I dont think DD ever actually had all 3 buttoned! ::

[Sunshine74]

I can't stand them, especially on the over twos. For infants I can understand, though I always have trouble with the snaps, but once the child is 2, enough is enough. And what's worse are the ones that are not just undershirts, but supposed to be worn as a shirt. Then they wear 2!

DCG who is supposed to be potty training wears one every single day as a shirt. I don't know what the biggest size is that they have here, sometimes I feel like they can wear them until they go to kindergarten!

On a slightly different, but related topic, almost as bad as onsies are those one piece shorts outfits (rompers) that little girls wear. Those are the worst for the potty training toddlers- preschoolers. They make them up to a 5T!

[Unregisteredpandamom]

Yes, I hate those rompers too! I'll also add converse sneakers because kids like to take them off but it takes forever to put them back on because you have to loosen the entire shoelace to get the foot back in. I used to have a Child in my class whose mom is Eastern European. She sent her almost three year old in onesies and tights and pants and a shirt everyday. One day she sent her in two onesies plus a shirt and tights and pants! That poor girl was always sweating. Nice mom talked about pt, we were able to convince her to send dck in a single layer of clothing .

[craftymissbeth]

I read this thread yesterday and didn't answer because they didn't bother me. Until this morning. When DCG shows up with a onesie so small I can almost see her chichis and then DCB shows up with a onesie so big the buttons are down by his knees

Maybe it was laundry day in both of their households

Speaking of difficult outfits, I had a baby once come in a one piece outfit from Baby Gap. It was sweater type material and had teeny tiny little buttons all along the crotch area and NO other buttons or snaps for access so unbuttoning the legs was the only way to get it on or off and to change the diaper.

I only wish that baby had a onsie on that day... I did leave the buttons open all day so baby had flaps rather than leg openings.

I also made sure to tell mom that the baby could no longer wear that outfit to daycare.

Why in the world would someone even make an outfit like that?!?!? :confused:

[momma2girls]

They really irritate me as well. There are times that all my children have onsies on. A couple of them have double onsies on!!! UGHH!!!!!!
I only had onsies on my own children, til about 12-18 months and only during the Winter months to keep them warmer. The children shouldn't be wearing them after this age, especially during potty training.

[Cradle2crayons]

I'm weird I guess. Onesies don't bother me. I actually prefer them unless they are beginning to potty train then they are a no no. But here they don't make them past that size anyway.

Converse sneakers ugh!!! The hardest shoe ever!! ESP if its high top!

I don't mind onesies up to potty training- prevents diaper play. But once potty training starts no more! I only snap the outside two snaps
