Baby jammies for fat feet

scubagirl81 · July 2014

I figured this was as good a place as any to ask... DS just started outgrowing his 9 month sleepers, and so I got some 12 month ones. I know they're supposed to be super snug because of the stupid fire hazard stuff, but I couldn't get his feet in them! They are too fat! What on earth do I do? We like to keep our house really cold at night, so I really want him in footie sleepers because I don't think he'll keep socks on. Even slo I'm afraid the ankle band will still be super tight. This is crazy because he's not big by any means, but he does have kind of blocky feet. Help!

We used the halo sleep sacks to keep DD's feet warm. DD went through a phase when her feet were like that then they slimmed out.

Hmm, DD had meatball feet but her footie PJs were never much of a problem. She had mostly carter and childrens place sleepers if I remember correctly.

Dd has a difficult body shape that made sleepers annoying!! She has a really long torso and short legs so the footed sleeper PJs were often too short in the torso too long in the legs and she also had issue with the feet.

So dd really didn't wear many. She did a little in the winter but definitely not past a 9 month size. I agree the halo sleep sacks would be a good idea. We did use those for a little bit.

MEATBALL FEET!!

Liam still has meatball feet and we have a hard time with shoes, but I will say that I don't ever recall having an issue with pjs.

We're also on team meatball. Like the others - no issues with jammies, but I think a sleepsack would be a good option (I miss those things!).

Do you have issues with all jammies, or just the "snug fit" ones. Nolan has chunky feet and we had to work to get them into the children's place stretchies, but many of the carter's ones (especially the fleece and towel material ones) provided no issues.

In the end we started going with 2 piece jammies, because he would always outgrow jammies lengthwise super fast, and it was just easier than keeping up with his growth spurts.

So I figured out the slim fit ones are the problem, it looks like the looser ones are fine. We do have some sleep sacks, maybe I'll think about what should go underneath them for night time (right now we use them for naps and just put them on over whatever onesie he has on for the day). Maybe a long sleeve onesie? They are the halo fleece sacks.

How about a onesie and a muslim sleep sack if you are worried the fleece ones would be too warm. My sister loves the aden + anais swaddling blankets for summer but my niece is younger.

Halo makes lightweight sleep sacks that are 100% cotton and not fleece. We lived in Atlanta when we used them so we didn't use very many fleece ones.

scubagirl81 · July 2014

So we usually put him in a short sleeve onesie and some kind of footie jammies, usually fleece because like I said we keep it super cold in our house at night. I'm afraid the onesie/sleep sack won't be warm enough with his arms hanging out, but I guess a long sleeve onesie would fix that.

Not trying to be snarky, but how cold do you keep your house? That sounds like a lot of clothes for July.

Garrett has enormous meatball feet. He would usually keep his socks on over night though. We would either use a halo sack or a lightweight blanket.

Could you close the vents in his room to keep his room a little warmer than the rest of the house?

I'm a big fan of sleep sacks. We used the lighter cotton ones in the summer with a onsie underneath and fleece ones in the winter.

egpitt22 · July 2014

Oh yeah, good suggestion from Meghan about the vent, we did that when Liam was younger. we also keep our house pretty chilly at night, so I would layer him and close his vent up at night.

scubagirl81 · July 2014

We have it set to 66 at night, DH is one of those people that runs really hot and he can't sleep otherwise.

I have no idea why I didn't think of closing the vent at night
