What temp for shorts

smbckr2 · August 2011

So how warm does it have to be for you to have shorts on your LO. I always watch the weather in the morning to make sure it isn't going to be too chilly. DS wears shorts every day, but this week the temp is getting in the low 80s. So I am thinking in the next few weeks we may need to switch to pants. At what temperature will you change your LO's wardrobe from shorts to pants?

I am always cold, so I am not a good judge on it. Plus it's always chillier in the morning when we leave for daycare.

She will start wearing pants when I start wearing pants.

Ditto.

And, um....JEALOUS that it's getting in the low 80s where you are. Where do you live, the North Pole???

I live in NW Illinois. And it is actually 74 here right now.

DD has been in shorts all summer. Like PP said, she'll wear pants when I start wearing pants. However, our DCP does like them to be in pants or leggings during the day because it is really cool in there, and also to help protect their knees when crawling around. So she wears stretchy cotton pants to DC. But at home, she's in shorts/rompers.

My son is 11 months and I put him in shorts from about mid 70s-on, even when he's going to DC b/c they go on a long walk outside at the DC. I notice he gets fussy when he's hot and never seems to be cold (like his Dad...), but every baby/kid is different.
