XP: Extra long footie pjs w/ hand mitts for 5 week old?

giggler25 · June 2014

Hi Moms! Anyone have any idea where I can find footie pajamas with hand mitts, that are extra long? I have a hard time finding non - newborn - sized PJs with the hand mitts attached at all. Last week I found and bought several pairs from Old Navy size 0-3 months but Emily's legs are so long that her feet are already at the very edge of the PJs! She is 10 lbs ad 22 inches long. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

Old Navy sells them. I got a pair of size 6 months that had the hand mitts

Cut off the feet! Haha! We have done this with several of our baby's pjs, even for a couple of the 0-3month sizes. She is also 22in long but has long legs. Actually, she is wearing one of those altered pjs right now.

Faded Glory footed pj's from Walmart are long but don't have mittens. The only extra-long pj's I can think of with mittens are the elastic-bottom gowns from brands like Gerber and Carters. They're still super long on DD and she's over 23 inches.

@noice247 - Thanks! The ones I have now are from Old Navy size 0-3 mos. But I think 6 mos will be waaaay too loose on her.

@jmcdyer‌ - It's funny bc my MIL suggested the same thing!

@jenb_99‌ - those gowns are really long; agreed! I have a couple. The issue with those for me though is that DD sleeps in a RnP and I have a hard time buckling her in with the gowns on.

Carter's. I don't know how long he is but my 8 week old is still wearing the NB size in their zip up pajamas. He was 20" at birth so I imagine he's probably at 22 or 23 now.

How about a gown with leggings underneath so that you can strap her in and keep her warm?

@giggler25‌ I only just realized your first post you said you bought your stuff at Old Navy. And here I thought I was being helpful! Lol

My son is really long too but the 6 months would definitely be too big. I was just stocking up for the future and liked that they still had mitts on the bigger size. I have put my son in shirts with mitts and then put him in 2 piece outfits, baby bags or the rare footed pjs that still fit and just had the shirt underneath so he still had the mitts.

Why not buy separate mits? Then you can use any pjs you want.

Or my question is are the mitts really needed? Cut their nails?

Ah. I have never strapped either of my kids into the RNP so I didn't consider that as an issue. Hmm.

:-O whaaaaaaat!? You don't strap your kids in?!

*sarcasm font*

Seriously. They need to invent one.

I cut and/or file her nails almost every day, but they grow so fast and they're so sharp so she still ends up cutting her little face up.

Thanks for all the advice ladies!

Lol. Call the mom police!

I do use the straps on just about everything else. Just not the RNP or Mamaroo. Hulk Baby DS couldn't get himself out of the RNP even at 6 months so I figure a floppy newborn is pretty safe.

@aimee223 - thanks for the info! FTM here so welcome all info and advice.

@jenb_99 - my LO loves to plank her body which is why I keep her strapped in.
