MIL disagreement....onesies under everything?

redhead0525 · October 2009

My MIL insists that a baby needs a onesie on underneath EVERYTHING..no matter if its a sleep sack, an outfit, or pj's.....do you think this is true? I was just planning on putting one on under outfits or anything rough or scratchy.......

My mom says the same thing. It is way too hot in FL to do that. I stopped putting a onesie underneath her clothes and she's fine lol

i had the same argument... i put it under shirts that are not onesies or if its cold and layering is needed.

majors31 · October 2009

sounds like a PITA for diaper changes.

your MIL would hate me. DD rarely wears anything but a onesie.

sammiekc · October 2009

My mom says to imagine wearing what the baby is wearing. So, would you feel comfortable wearing a onesie under what you're wearing? If not, the baby wouldn't either.

I don't. She goes diaper only into everything. Otherwise she gets waay too hot.

MrsKellyOrBust · October 2009

I did a onesie under everything with R but now I got so used to not using them, that I find them to be a PITA on B. Once his stump falls off, I won't use them under one piece things. They are great under pants and non onesie shirts though.

Uh, this isn't a true or false kind of question. If it's cold, you could add one under an outfit to layer up. I usually put one under DD's pj's but thats about it.

Same here & we haven't had a problem (granted it's not super cold in SoCal).

My LO only wears a onesie under things that zip or button up at the neck. Like a zip up sweater, sweatshirt, or polo.

MrsWanee · October 2009

i don't.

PizzaBride · October 2009

We put DS in a onesie under everything because it's really cold here. I wish we had more long-sleeved onesies to put him in underneath his sleep sacks.

lizrenee06 · October 2009

my son is hot natured & that extra layer would just cause him to fuss even more with clothes on.

BeeLove · October 2009

For the winter, in Indy, yes, I will. in the summer, no.

MrsDB · October 2009

when its chilly out, yes, we do.

Shlei · October 2009

I do nowadays because it's snowing here already.

christin3580 · October 2009

I do now.... it was 26 out the other day and snowed all day... brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

this just made me LOL.

mrs_rodney · October 2009

Now that its cold, I do under a lot of her outfits. Especially since her tops ride up and I don't want her back and belly exposed. I guess I don't put one under her pjs.

outnumbered · October 2009

I put a onsie under a lot of things. it is cold here and it keeps the diaper in place preventing blowouts and leaks.

ummm I don't put a onesie under anything...

Maybe if I lived in a colder climate (we're in TN) or when it gets to be really chilly here I will, but he'd get way too hot.

Sorry for not clarifying. On the People of Walmart website this had a caption stating that it looked as though this guy was wearing an adult onesie. It's obvious this was a total fail on my part.

We are onesie-aholics. They go under mostly everything he wears.

Bran_ham · October 2009

my mom says this too, but we only do it if he's going outside or if the house happens to be cold. i do put an sleep gown when he's in his sleep sack.

SusieQ1982 · October 2009

Not unless we're going out. Our house is at 72 degrees, he doesn't need an extra layer.

Same here. I was putting them under her sleeper at night since it's already snowing here (dang it's only OCTOBER!) and DH pointed out that it didn't get any colder in the house...good point, I guess.

cstw · October 2009

We do onesies under sleepsacks/swaddles at night. Otherwise most newborn and 0-3 month clothes consist of onesies with matching bottoms. Truthfully, LO will be in sleepers and gowns and staying in your house for the most part during those first several weeks anyhow. We don't put onesies under jammies/gowns.

Mrs.Teddy · October 2009

I put a onesie under just about everything. I didnt' int he summer when he was first born, but now its COLD! Day & night my kid has a oneise on under everything. However growing up we always had to wear undershirts from fall-spring. Right now he has on a onesie, socks, gown & sleepsack. He was just fussing & felt cold, I put a blanket to his waist & he is out. But I have a kid who "runs cold"
