The choice of baby pyjamas is affected by the rate of growth, comfort, its use and the material. However, for baby sleepsuits, they should be comfortable enough to allow the baby sleep in peace. The debate on whether they should have feet or not have both the subjective and objective side.
With Feet
The Pros
The baby is properly covered from the shoulders downwards. This not only ensures maximum body coverage but also even distribution of body heat.
You do not have to spend additional money on purchasing pairs of socks or leg-warmers for the baby. Since it covers the fit that same way as socks, you can opt not to put them on.
Baby sleepsuits with feet are categorised based on the baby’s age. It can help the parent estimate the growth curve of their baby. As the baby approach a certain age bracket, it prepares you psychologically on when and how to buy new baby clothes.
It reduces the number of clothes the baby has. Too much warmth is not suitable for the baby. However, single pyjamas and baby diapers are enough.
The main shortcoming for such pyjamas is the frequency of replacing them. Babies grow rapidly, and whenever they cross to the quarter bracket, the parent has to purchase other pyjamas.
Without Feet
The Pros
The main advantage of this sleepsuit is its versatility. The child can wear it longer since the leg-allowance allows it to transcend the quarter-year bracket.
It can colour-mix the pyjamas with pairs of socks or trousers to achieve a desires colour. Babies are fascinated with colours, and match-mixing its favourite colours in their sleeping space has psychological advantages.
The pyjamas can be used outside the bedroom. They might be sleepsuits, but since they have enough legroom, the baby can still wear them when playing. This often happens when the baby has outgrown them.
However, if you have to use these baby pyjamas, you must have a pair of socks or leg-warmers. Since they might have different cloth texture and tightness, the baby’s body temperature may vary. This forces the caregiver to remove either the socks or loosen the pyjamas occasionally.
The Choice
The decision to choose either of the two options rests on the caregiver. Both have advantages and shortcomings in their own right. Consider the following factors when settling on the type of baby sleepsuits to buy:-
Resources – if you have enough money to buy baby clothes after every 3 months, buy baby pyjamas with feet. They offer the best comfort for the baby when they are asleep. However, if you want to maximize on the money you have, buy the one without feet.
Weather – if you live in a warm place, use pyjamas without feet, and vice versa. The caregiver can remove the pairs of socks to ease out the heat. Unfortunately, for pyjamas with feet, you have to remove it wholly.
