how many baby socks?

My dumb question for the day -

how many pairs of baby socks do you have for your lo?

Re: how many baby socks?

  • 43!!!

    And yes, I realize that this is outrageous.  And no, I didn't buy any of them.

  • About 20 (different sizes though) got them as gifts.
  • Not sure... 12-15 pairs maybe, in various sizes.
  • Currently like 8.  I had a shower last weekend and got them as gifts.  I assume more are coming at the other shower I'm having in August.

    How many can they really need?  They don't really puke or poop out their feet?

  • A shittton... or so it seems. I'd estimate a few dozen pairs, and all of them were gifts! I think I've got enough to put on her hands and feet, and change them at least 4-5 times a day without having to wash them for several days!

  • Anytime DH and I are looking at baby stuff, we seem to buy socks. It's a strange phenomenon I haven't figured out just yet.


    Aside from the fact that they're just so damn cute. 

  • I think around 10 pairs... I need to get a few more and diff sizes too.

    You'll be surprised what ends up on baby socks haha

    I have 6 pairs right now, and a few bootie type things.  Only 3 in 0-3mths so I might need to get some more.

  • I have way too many, about 2 big ziploc bags stuffed to the gills of socks. I hope people don't buy me any for my shower or I'm returning them!

    I said this same thing to my mom and she brought up a good point.  Babies tend to lose socks constantly so you'll inevitably end up with mismatched pairs of socks.  It's better to have a bunch so if one gets lost, it's not a big deal.

  • Lots, but different sizes though at least.  We received a lot at our shower and then I received some hand me down clothes with a lot of socks burried in there. 
  • Maybe 10 to 15 pairs, I think.
