Types of Baby Pajamas
To find the best pajamas for your baby, it's important to understand what's available and what makes each type of pajamas unique.
Footed pajamas
Footed pajamas, footies, sleepers, you name it... this type of pajamas covers your child from neck to toe. These pajamas for babies will keep your little one warm during colder nights or months. They are a good option for sturdy starter-pajamas, for a baby under 6 months.
Footless pajamas
When your little one begins to walk, you'll need to provide durable yet comfortable clothing to satisfy their curiosity for mobility. That's where footless pajamas come in. They offers more freedom of movement to your little one, helping them navigate more easily, and you can pair them with a set of little booties.
Sleeping sacks
A sleeping sack is the way to go if you're looking for something loose to accompany your little one at night. They are a great alternative for keeping your baby warm without restricting their arm movement.
Sleep gowns
Sleep gown is essentially a sleeping sack, but with an opening at its bottom. This opening lets you change diapers easily, especially in the middle of the night, and allows airflow around your baby's legs. Sleep gowns usually have a drawstring at the bottom and are most suitable for newborns.
How to Choose the Perfect Baby Pajamas
There is a list of things to consider when choosing the perfect pajamas for your baby. Safety will always come first, followed by the type of materials and ease of dressing.
Safety mainly involves choosing the right size. Pajamas that are too tight can be uncomfortable and restrict movement, while too loose might mean tripping and slipping hazards for your little one.
Material is another important factor to consider. Our Cloudblend fabric is soft to the touch and incredibly breathable, always gentle on your baby's delicate skin. This fabric, made from a mix of Tencel and Modal, will not only reduce irritation but also promote a better body temperature for a restful night's sleep.
Last but not least is how easy it is to dress your baby in your chosen pajamas. You don't want your diaper change routine to be full of hassle, especially at midnight! Choose pajamas with simple closures, like buttons, zippers, magnets, magnets, or anything that suits you best. This will make the dressing and undressing process so much easier. Every second counts!
FAQs About Baby Pajamas
Here are a few typical inquiries about baby pajamas.
How many pairs of pajamas do I need for my newborn?
It depends on your personal preferences and how often you (want to) do the laundry. A good rule of thumb is to have around 5-7 pairs of newborn pajamas. Keep in mind that newborns grow quickly, and you will need to replace smaller sizes with larger ones as your baby grows.
When should I transition my baby out of footed pajamas?
Most parents start transitioning to footless pajamas around 6- to 12-month. But, at the end of the day, there's no hard and fast rule. Once your baby starts to become more mobile, you may want to consider transitioning to footless pajamas.
How do I wash infant pajamas?
Firstly, you should always check the care label for specific washing instructions. Then, separate pieces by certain colors and fabrics, pre-treat stains with a mild detergent, and opt for a gentle, cool water wash. Air-dry for the gentlest care, or use a low-heat dryer setting. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Fasten snaps or zippers before washing to prevent damage.
Are your baby PJs made from comfortable materials?
They certainly are! At Wildbird, we only use the most comfortable materials available, which are gentle on your baby's sensitive skin. Our wide selection of pajamas comes in different materials to cater to all kinds of preferences. That includes cotton, microfleece, polyester, and more.
