why didn't I think of this earlier?

I spent loads of money on new sleepsuits (babygro's) because LO is growing so fast but the thing is they usually still fit but are just too short!

well today I had the bright idea to just cut the toes off the sleep suits and use little socks and it works fine - I could have saved loads of money!

Thought I would post about this incase others were in the same boat. It's good because if you pull the socks up over the sleepsuit legs it stops them sliding off all the time too.

That's actually a really good idea - especially for those of us who have long babies! Tristan is on the 75th percentile for weight but 91st for height.

Jacob is long and has grown out (length wise) his 6-9 months sleep suits so now i just buy pj's as for some reason there longer XxxX

i have the same problem i dont have the heart to cut them! lol
but i think we may have to if money doesn't start growing on trees soon!

I am doing that too and I have even been using the feet I cut off as mittens. genius.

I have done exactly the same! Lexie is also very tall so she is going out of the sleepsuits length ways before width! Just cut them at the ankles then hemed them on the sewing machine! Lexie is now in her grobag so it doesn't matter as much if her socks come off the night!
I think that they maybe 3/4 lenghths in the summer LOL.

I used to do this with Benns sleepsuits i hate to see sleepsuits that are to short and crinkling their little toes so in the end i just decided id buy him pjs instead and bought little bed socks.
