Re: Whats the secret to getting baby's socks to stay ON??!

  • For my boys the ONLY brand of infant socks I have had luck staying on is Hanes brand ankle socks.  I get them at Target.  They are white/grey and white/navy.  I'm guessing you have a girl based on your pink ticker so I'm not sure if they have something similar for the little ladies to go with their cute outfits.

  • The only socks we can get to stay on DD, without her having shoes on, are the faded glory brand from Walmart. They have plain white ones and also white ones with pink toes and heels. They come in a big bag... 10 pairs for $4 or something like that I think.

  • Hanes are the only ones that stay on for my LO. I love that even the ankle one's stay on.

  • Robeez socks work very well for us.  I also like the bow socks from Gymboree.

  • Don't put any on and they stay exactly where you put them!

    I only put socks on my daughter when we are going out and then I immediately put shoes on her so that she has to work on the shoes first.  If I do that then we often get to the destination before she can get her socks off.

    At home I dont really care.

  • I use sock ons, they're not 100% but they make it hard enough to get the socks off so that my DS loses interest.

  • I use the $1 Circo socks from Target and pull them up to her knees.

    This - but without the shoes... 

    One thing that helps is socks that are the proper size - the months they put on them for when they're suppose to fit are so far off from most kids' size it's not funny...

  • Socks that are longer and tighter at the top.

  • We're big fans of Robeez.  They don't fall off, but they're also kick-proof, in case your kid likes to try to take his own socks off like mine does.

  • I've tried tons of socks -- Robeez, Trumpette, Hanes, Carhartt, and lots of other store and boutique brands. We've gone up a size, down a size, and true to size, and still none of them stay on. They start to slide down, and then DS pulls them the rest of the way off.

    I've heard good things about the crew socks that Old Navy sells online (not in stores, for some reason). I might try a pack of those the next time I place an order.

    But really my DS stays barefoot most of the time. I don't bother with socks unless we're going out.

  • A couple of things you can try--knee high or thigh high socks.  If the socks go high enough, they are hard to pull down.

    You can also try putting on robeez over the socks, but a determined baby can get the robeez off.  The robeez are so cute though.

    If the weather is cold, try undersocks.  We have a few pairs and love them.  They are kind of wierd looking-- basically thermal underpants with socks sewn in.  Socks can't come off with these on, and they give the legs extra coverage too.  THey are made of bamboo and really soft and the socks are thick.  They are great for outings and babywearing.

    Happy mom to my fun, cute, playful kiddos.
