Babies clothes

just wondering what sort of clothes other babies wear? Ella normally always wears t-shirt or bodysuit with pants/shorts/leggings (or when it is hot no pants just a nappy)......but I am always noticing the amount of dresses/skirts for baby girls in the shops and can't help thinking how impractical they are and that they must restrict the babies movement (I know that Ella can't crawl in a dress). We have a couple of dresses, but she doesn't really wear them...just for special occasions (i.e. xmas). People must buy them through, if they are in the shops?????

just something I have been thinking about as I have been looking through the new autumn/winter collections.....

I don't understand dresses at all. Although, this week we have had 2 comments made about our gorgeous "boy" !! But we mostly dress Bella in singlet with shorts/pants or I absolutely love rompers in any description and singlet with overalls. Far more practical I think.

I think alot of the styles that you see at the moment are meant for the layered look, you know the little tiny skirts with the cute 3/4 leggings underneath them, so the short skirts don't get in the way while crawling, but are still there to have that cutesy effect.

We used mainly pants for Paris as she was a bottom shuffler so otherwise her legs would bear the brunt of everything and get sore.

Pretty much always apart from in summer and really hot weather, we use stokings or leggings for our girls underneath as little girls really have no tact as far as sitting nicely so everyone doesn't see their bottom. Even when ayja was in nappies, I'd stick a pair of her sister's undies over the nappy.

I put Ava in a singlet and pants with a sleeveless vest. I only put her in dresses on special occassions as well!

Paige wears lots of t.shirts and shorts, or pants. only started putting dresses and skirts on now as she is starting to walk. to many probs when she was crawling- just wore pants.

Keziah has a few dresses, one is a swing dress that comes just above her bum (more like a baggy t-shirt) so she wears a cute over nap, and the other is a party frock which she has worn a few times that has a built in body suit...

Normally I dress Keziah in a body suit and pants or a rompa suit (short AIO) and now she is starting to wriggle about alot more so like Mum2Ella said...the less clothes the better

I love your comment about trying to dress Ella while she is crawling down the hallway! LOL, that is so true isn't it   

Sam has a few skirts & dresses that she occassionally wears, but mainly a nappy and t-shirt these days during summer.
Skirts were totally impractical while she was mainly crawling, but now that she is on her feet more they are fine. I absolutley love a cloth MCN under a skirt or dress though - so cute
