Wool Singlets

I have conflicting information about wool singlets. My mum use to put our wool singlets under our body suits, but the plunket nurse the other day growled at me and said that the singlet should be overtop of the bodysuit. I was thinking tho, wouldn't that defeat the purpose, because woolen singlets are suppose to keep babies warm and that is best achieved close to your skin. So I was just wondering what everybody else thinks.

if is doesnt irritate baby's skin its great. it never irritated mine and they have sensitive skin. i put them under their bodysuits too. its funny how we get told different things from different people. actually its quite confusing! lol...

don't let it get you down, i had a plunket nurse on my 2nd visit with paris, who growled me because paris was nearly below the bottom line on the growth charts for weight. she looked at me and said "i don't want to see this little girl get any further below this line" and it wasn't in a nice way she said it. i felt horrible cos i'd been having so many probs with feeding anyway, and she made me feel like i didn't give a damn. luckily wasn't my usual one, just a fill in one. - however that same plunket nurse, also told another mum in my mothers group that her baby was "far too fat and needed to go on a diet!" this baby was about 2 months old at the time.    I now know that no matter how much i feed my girls - they grow slowly and steadily and will never tip the scales.. i wish i had been more knowledgeable and confident back then. i would have told that lady to go jump! It can be hard when someone you trust and rely on to help you makes you feel like a bad stupid mum. trust me... you AREN'T!!!

we stick the girl's short sleeved cotton singlets under the woolen singlets, then their bodysuits/long sleeve tops obver the top of that...only cos that's the way i've always seen it done, and i was told it might irritate their skin - but hey - their shoulders have it straight on it and have never had probs. - go with what you think is right.

Thank you Janine. I am just going to do what my mum did with me and continue to put them under his bodysuits. I never had problems with wool on my skin and have never had any problems with Xanda so will just continue to do what I am doing. Am changing plunket nurses anyway, hopefully the other one will be abit nicer.
