Daycare moms - shoes?

ErinS3204 · February 2011

So, DD is finally crawling & pulling up! yay! She usually goes to daycare in socks. Should I start putting shoes on her? I'm wondering if socks are too slippery for her to really pull up or do whatever else she wants to do? Do you send your LO to daycare with shoes?

Thanks!

I just give her socks with little rubber strips or writing. Its better for them to learn to walk barefoot, but this way the socks aren't slippery. I also love the Nowali slipper/sock things.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. Hudson hasn't started pulling up yet but has been crawling for 2 weeks now. I found some of those socks that have the no slip skid on the bottom (they sell them at Target and Carters) and they work great on our hardwood floors at home.

Yes, I've sent my DS in Robeez (or the like) for awhile now - at first because he pulled his socks off and then because it was cold. He walks now, so I'm glad he wears them.

I'm kinda dreading switching to "real" shoes when they start to play outside again.

I just started sending Liam to daycare in shoes today. I think he likes them because he was trying to put them on his own feet on the changing table today!

I put him in those all leather "crib shoes" since they don't really play outside on the playground yet. I think the most recognizable brand is Robeez but they are pretty expensive so I got him some Tommy Tickle brand ones from Buy Buy Baby ($15.00). They sell them at BRU as well. If you do get shoes avoid any with hard soles because hard soles are not good for the development and growth of their feet. They don't really need them until they are walking for a good bit.

We also send DS to DC in Robeez/soft-soled shoes. We started sending them when he could pull up & started cruising.

We sent DS in Robeez. We didn't put him in shoes every day until it got chilly out. Before then, we just sent him in socks with the grippy writing on the bottom (ON, Target, etc).
