How often do you change out LO's pj's?

Mary0913 · February 2010

Every night? Every couple of nights? Turn them inside-out so that they last a week?

I'm curious. I used to do every night, but lately I'll keep her in a pair for 2 or 3 days (provided they elude the snot-faucet that has become her nose...).

MrsJMB · February 2010

Every night. I change mine out every night too...

kellim · February 2010

every night - We got so many hand-me-downs I don't have to do laundry for weeks.

kellyperk85 · February 2010

If I read this right, I put a fresh clean pair on him everynight. I don't want to wear clothes I wore the night before so I don't subject him to that either.

NDwife07 · February 2010

I was just thinking about this this morning...every morning I throw them in the hamper, but it seems so excessive! I'm probably going to move to an every couple of days schedule.

easyBreezie · February 2010

Every night unless he's I'm using the sack and I'll use it for a couple of nights if it's clean.

kristie06 · February 2010

It depends. It is mostly every night unless we have a lazy weekend and don't go out. Then Iet him stay in the same one unless he drools all over it like lately since he is teething really bad.

T&BMay142005 · February 2010

Every night. I never even considered having her wear them more than once.

jenella17 · February 2010

If we don't leave the house DD is most likely in her jammies like me all day.

If she gets a bath or not she gets new jammies every night.

SoHopeful · February 2010

he wears a fresh, clean pair every night. but, sometimes i feel like it's crazy, because it is totally clean!

sophie888 · February 2010

Everynight. We lube him up with Aquaphor head to toe(thanks eczema!!) - so I think they get a little funky with more than one use.

This....

Kelsey and Nick · February 2010

I give her a fresh pair on bath nights, which is every other night. I should probably change my pajamas every time I change hers.... oops

Chrysallys · February 2010

I change his every night especially because some days he'll stay in jammies (yeah, I know, terrible mom).

Shlei · February 2010

Every night. Even on lazy weekends we change the PJ's at night and put her in different rompers during the day.

this! he gets a bath every night, so i put him in clean pjs afterward

katypresson · February 2010

Since I wear mine for 2-3 nights I've started putting DS in the same ones for at least 2 nights. Unless of course he spits up on them or something. But since he grows so flippin quick...he's only got maybe 5 pairs of 12 month size jammies right now.

NDwife07 · February 2010

hmmm, maybe i'm the odd one who doesn't always wear a fresh pair of my own pjs...

mAnYaSha · February 2010

if he stays in PJs during the day or gets them dirty, otherwise every other day. we bathe him every day. never thought of turning it inside out though ...

chels0120 · February 2010

Every night! He's a sweaty sleeper

papillonlover · February 2010

Every night.

Belle15 · February 2010

Depends..if dd lounges in her pjs during the day, i'll give her a fresh pair at night. If not, and she's not sick or a drooly mess she'll wear the same pair 2-3 nights.

NY-allie · February 2010

every night. DS drools in his sleep.

TimsMayBride · February 2010

Every night.

FutureMrsCuoghi · February 2010

Every night. Usually she ends up getting breakfast all over them.

jbl126 · February 2010

I put new pjs on them everynight but they will wear the fleece zip up on top every 2-3 nights. I wear my pjs 3 nights before putting on new ones.

Leila'sMommy · February 2010

DD gets a new pair of pj's every night. I would never think to put her in pj's from the night before.

cupcake_queen · February 2010

Everynight

BigIsland07 · February 2010

Every few days unless they're obviously dirty (spit up, etc.)

MrsWanee · February 2010

i used to change them every night b/c he used to soak through them every night. now that he doesn't, i change them every other night.

No you're not. And I keep DS in his pj's a few days.

tegl · February 2010

I change them every night. He gets a bath before bedtime, and I slather him up in vaseline from head to toe, so they get a bit greasy. He usually barfs on them at some point, as well.

Lulu0802 · February 2010

This would make a great clicky poll.

I change her pjs every 2-3 nights. I also wear mine that much too.

NatPhoto09 · February 2010

every other night. I used to change pj's every night but it seemed like a waste. On weekends he will stay longer in his pj's so I will change them nightly. I don't change my pj's nightly Surprise

Maybe it's just me, but the tone of some of these responses seems to imply the OP is dirty or doesn't care if her child is dirty...just an opinion.

But, anyway - I think the GREENER choice is probably to reuse them providing they are clean and have not been soiled by spit up, poop, sweat, food, etc. Simply "throwing them in the hamper" because you wouldn't want to "subject" your child to wearing the same pjs two nights in a row seems a little excessive. They're BABIES! How dirty could they get sleeping in their crib?!?

DS gets a bath every other night (due to eczema - used to be every night) and occasionally wears the same pjs 2 nights in a row. Big deal.

DNK777 · February 2010

Every night. Every once in a while I will leave them on her all day until her bath.

rainlily · February 2010

Her pjs are changed every night. The sleep sack is changed every couple of nights. Some nights we don't use a sleep sack. Depends on what pjs she is wearing and the temperature.

outnumbered · February 2010

Wow, I must be cruel. I subject my child to wearing his PJs for 2 (sometimes 3 gasp!) nights. They are put on right before bed and taken off when he wakes up so they are clean. I have 2 other children and have too much laundry already.

The inside-out was just a joke.

I get that feeling, too... This is one can of worms that I didn't anticipate opening with this post. Given that DD gets a bath every night without fail and is then in her pj's for about 10 hours, I guess I didn't even consider that it was (socially) unacceptable for her to wear those said pj's again after I've washed the (apparent) filth off of her the next night - given, of course, that she didn't soil them during the night. My bad.

(please note that my distain is not targeted at everyone who changes their LO's pj's every night - sometimes it's practical, or just a personal choice, to each his own. To those who seem to have implied that I've somehow managed to neglect my child - I look down my nose right back at you...)
