Do you put different pajamas on your toddler every night?

[Button#]

Ashley normally has snufflebabe on his or they get wet because he's teething so I do change them everyday. Mostly it's just habit though from when he used to get them covered in breakfast.

 

[AngelUK]

Every other night for us as well (unless there was a leak). And they only bathe twice a week.

Joni's get covered in weetabix.

On the days she refuses breakfast I'm so used to bunging them in the washing machine I still do it automatically. If I remembered I would reuse them.

I am surprised about how many LOs here get themselves covered at mealtimes though. My boys were these coverall bibs from Ikea during mealtimes. Saves a lot on washing!

 

[Mrs HM]

If daddy's here they get reused. If I'm doing breakfast/dressing him they are put in the wash bin. Just habit on my part I suppose as he wears them for breakfast but wears a bib too so they are clean.

She's in them as long as they don't get dirty. Probably change every 3-4 nights. Only in them for bed and changes first thing in the morning!

Both of mine are in fresh pjs very night, I could probably get away with every 2-3 nights with DS but it's force of habit

Mine has those as well but stuff still seems to run down his chin and through the neck hole. He's dinky though so it doesn't fit very snuggly

Thats too much laundry for me! He wears maybe 2 pairs through the week. He bathes, then gets in them, sleeps and they are off and put to the side for tomorrow. I do the same with mine as I take night showers.

Exactly this - Williams get covered in weetabix! If I manage to get his bib on him then it's habit to just chuck it to be washed.

We have now stopped with matching pjs and do a vest and pants. No idea why I don't reuse the pants because it's not like they match anyway!!

 

[scoobydrlp]

Thanks for the replies! Seems I have been doing extra laundry for no reason and will start using the same pjs for a few days.

Have to ask...what exactly is "snufflebabe"?

 

[sparkle_1979]

Clean every evening as they eat breakfast in them

 

[ruby09]

I put new pjs on lo every night. He tends to sweat a lot, plus he pees a lot at night which often results in leaks, so they usually have to go straight in the laundry in the morning anyway.

 

[Jchihuahua]

Clean pyjamas every night here.

 

[bumpy_j]

Not really. Sometimes I do if he has a few clean pairs to get through, but it's not a necessity. He tends to wear a new pair every couple of nights.

 

[pinkpolkadot]

New PJs every 2-3 nighs here unless they are dirty.

 

[bumpy_j]

We used to put on a clean set every night, then something just clicked and we realised we were just causing ourselves more work. So now if his pjs are clean he will wear them for 2/3 nights. Tbh I don't even care if they are matching, chances are his trousers will be clean for 2 nights, but he will get milk or breakfast on his top so il just change that

Yeah we do this. I tend to change the top every night, but the bottoms can definitely last for two or three days.

I agree I haven't ever had a bib snug enough at the neck! x

 

[AngelUK]

I should have mentioned that we put these bibs on top and there is never anything down their necks. Well maybe sometimes a bit of melon juice after they got them for dessert but not enough to have to change them.

Hmmm I'm still unconvinced...was just having a conversation with OH based on this that maybe Joni must have a smaller than average neck?!! Because she always gets stuff down her bib. Not always enough to change her but definitely enough that you wouldn't save the pyjamas for the next night! Must admit I've not tried the bib/overall combo though. I'll be honest, wiping the bibs back down at 6:30am seems to me like the same amount of work as just chucking the pyjamas in the direction of the washing machine. Less environmentally friendly though to wash stuff every day, maybe I should change my ways!
