Did y'all know that onesies are made to be pulled DOWN? Like, instead of pulling them back up over the head after a blow out and getting it all over them. How did I not know this? Please tell me I am not the only one.

Did not know that! How did you find/ figure that out?

I also didn't know this! You are not the only one! That might have been handy info on Sunday for DH while I was grocery shopping. DS had a HUGE blowout. So thankful I didn't get it! How nice am I?

Wait, whaaaaaaaaaat? :-/

I think I need a demonstration.

So I didn't need to surgically cut off DS's Valentine onesie post blow out?

MarisaKathleen · October 2013

Add me to the club--I didn't know this either!

Yup. Did this to one of my favorite onesies when Kate was about 4 months old. Luckily, we haven't had blow outs or leaks in about 6 months...watch, now one will happen today.

Someone posted it on a local mommy group. I am assuming that is why they are lapped over on the shoulders to allow them to stretch over the body.

Really??

I just Googled it and this article on BabyCenter popped up.

I learned this long after DS1 was out of onsies. It made a few nasty outfit changes easier. My mind was blown, too.

hmp1 · October 2013

Someone posted it back when we were pregnant. I had never done it with James but it came in handy a couple of times with Leo.

jenndub · October 2013

Holy crap. I have 3 children and have never done this.

I've heard this. I call shenanigins that there's a "right" way to do it--works better for me to pull over the head. But I've got a kicker, so there's that.

For major blowouts, sure, avoid pulling shit over the head. But normally? Nah.

How did I not know this???? The poop I could have avoided smearing into hair and back, arrghhhh!!!!

MississippiCatfish · October 2013

I just shared this on FB and the response is overwhelming. Haha.

am I the only one that knew this?! I never did it, because it's far easier to navigate one newborn head than 4 squirmy newborn limbs.

I never really thought that much about it. If I needed to pull it off that way I did. It was easier on DS because he has a giant head.

Stasi · October 2013

DUDE! The onesies I just bought at Carter's don't have the overlapping part on the shoulers!! Is this because they are 12mo.? That's the cutest part of a onesie.

..and I'm totally posting to FB too.

I did know this, but the one time I actually tried doing itwith DS, the onsie didn't stretch enough & it got stuck half way down. That made the blow out even messier, so I never did it again. My skinny boy was actually a fat baby.

OceanLover26 · October 2013

I knew it too, but I just always pulled over the head out of habit because that is what I did with the normal shirts on them. I may have pulled one or two down due to a really bad up-the-back blowout.

cmumama · October 2013

Huh.

I did not know this. But it explains why I found DS2 running around in his diaper the other and DS1 laughing hysterically about getting the baby naked. His pants and onesie were just laying there on the floor and I was so confused b/c the onesie was still snapped.
