Do you put different pajamas on your toddler every night?

[Midnight_Fairy]

Lol my washing machine is on whether thr PJs go in or not. No loss.

Usually every second night. If they're dirty I'll put on a clean pair x

 

[Wriggley]

My oldest won't wear pyjamas he just wears boxers and a vest to bed. He wears clean boxers and a vest to bed and I put them in the wash the next morning. My youngest wears a baby group and vest which goes in the wash in the morning

Don't really know why it's just how we do it

 

[lhancock90]

2 nights at most really, only if they are clean.

I'm beginning to see why a lot of you do laundry every day instead of only once a week.

 

[sandilion]

Ill try to get 2-3 nights out of DS's jamas. Some days ill give him a fresh lot, others we'll stick with what he had the night before. It all depends really.

 

[Snow Owl]

He gets breakfast in his and will wear them until they get dirty. Lol. Sometimes one night, sometimes 3 or 4

I can't believe people change PJs every day even if they're clean! DD wears PJs until they are obviously dirty. I have enough to do without wasting time washing clothes that are clean. Then not to mention the environmental impact of doing so much unnecessary washing and having so many pairs of PJs. What really is going to happen to your child if they wear the same PJs two nights in a row?

My kid has so many pairs of PJs so that I DON'T have to wash them more often. I assure you that I do not do more laundry than most people and that changing my child's clothes every day is not contributing significantly to my environmental footprint. A bit of a stretch there.

No one is saying their kid is going to smother in the dirt from their pyjamas after wearing them for one night, so surely there's no need to be so dramatic.

Obviously a few extra washes here and there alone are not going to effect the environment that much but the problem is that everybody thinks the same. If everyone in the world did a few less washes a week then that would have a significant effect on the environment. Does that make sense?

And my question about what would happen if a child wears the same PJs 2 nights in a row was a genuine question. I'm interested to know the reasons why people like to change PJs so often, just seems a little OTT to me.

Thanks, I'm well aware of the concept. My point was that I do laundry about once a week (which I doubt is more often than most people) and 7 pairs of PJs versus 3 does not equate to extra washing. Kids clothes are pretty darn tiny and don't take up a whole lot of space in the washing machine.

Nothing is going to 'happen' if I don't change my kid's pyjamas every night, but nothing is going to 'happen' if I do, either.

I am all for sustainability. But I would be doing a load of laundry for my daughter's clothes regardless of if there were an extra few pairs of PJs in there or not.

Does there HAVE to be a reason?

 

[MrsPear]

Such a lot of opinions for such a non-issue!

 

[Jembug]

Lol at how this thread ends. Just a question that has to get heated. Sad really.

 

[detterose]

I used to do a fresh set every night but since I started doing 3 days of work a week instead of 2, I have been trying to get another nights use out of them to lessen the washing load!

Seriously, why does everything have to turn into a debate by the end of a discussion?? A few extra pairs of PJs a week isn't going to change the amount of laundry you do, it'll just make the load of laundry a bit fuller than if they wore a few pairs less. I totally get the whole sustainability thing, but honestly, a few pairs of PJs a week doesn't affect how much laundry you have. They are small, and can easily fit in the load you already have of kids clothing.

I DO reuse mine if I can, if the kids haven't peed too much overnight and gotten them a bit wet. But just because I reuse them when I can doesn't mean I find it wrong for others to not reuse them. I don't find them wanting clean PJs OTT at all. Some people prefer clean clothes at night and during the day, due to sweat, skin shedding, getting food on them, etc etc.

THIS - my kids wear fresh every night - honestly i dont even have an asnwer to why i just put them in fresh ones every night without even thinking about it

and pjs dont take up much space i certainly wouldnt be doing any less amount of washing loads if they worn them for 2 nights each

Well get me for sustainability... I often re-wash already washed clothes because I forgot to take them out of the washing machine and they have been sitting in there too long!! ooopppsss!!

I am guilty of this.

 

[XJessicaX]

If I have guests over sometimes I tire of picking up clothes around the house, sniffing them and then sorting them, so I just throw everything into the machine to hide it.

Thank god for the tumble dryer.
