At first I didn't use many, Sawyer was born in the spring and we had a hot spring/summer so he was always barefoot. Now that it is fall/winter we need to have socks on him all the time, and he gets stinky feet so they don't last more than a day. I also like having sock options. We have about 8 different pairs right now, 4 that he is rapidly growing out of. I just ordered a dozen pairs of trumpette. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-339646 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 17:15:23 +0000 Ree723 339646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Socks is #2 on my list of things I wish I didn't have so many of as they are a complete waste of money (newborn hats are #1 on my list, but that's a different story). </p> <p>LO was born at the start of winter and we had probably 30 pairs of socks (at least!) but she hardly got to wear any of them. A lot of her outfits had feet attached, which was far more practical and convenient for a newborn, so we would only go through 2, maybe 3 pairs of socks per week. Now that she's older, almost 4 months, she wears more two piece outfits that require socks, but we're still not going through more than 5 or 6 pairs a week at most...and since we do laundry more frequently than that, we have so many socks that have never been worn.</p> <p>And maybe we're just lucky, but we have yet to lose a single sock, so we continue to have this massive sock collection that is just not getting worn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-339529 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 12:48:24 +0000 pinkcupcake 339529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually kept L in footed pjs at home for the first few months. She only wore socks when we went out so the 10 pairs I had were more than sufficient. Now we have about 15 pairs of Trumpettes that we rotate through. I'm so addicted to them! Too bad size 12-24 is never on sale :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-339523 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 12:39:40 +0000 chopsuey 339523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a box of Me in Mind. They stay on and are super cute. They also have a free replacement program.<br /> LO didn't have too many socks. She probably has about 8 pairs that fit her right now. </p> <p>When she was a newborn/infant she had about a dozen? possibly less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-339518 Sat, 13 Oct 2012 12:35:24 +0000 shopaholic 339518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why do they not stay on? Weird! Are they too big or maybe not enough spandex?</p> <p>Anyone have fit info on the Trumpette lookalikes brand Baberoo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338900 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:28:58 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 338900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And you might be disappointed but you will probably learn the trumpette socks don't stay on very well. It gets super annoying and you will probably end up buying more practical socks for around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338897 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 16:26:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 338897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots and lots of socks.</p> <p>I thought I had too many and it wasn't enough!

Love it!<br /> @prettylizy - Pretty much how I see it too. They just seem like a cute accessory.<br /> @artbee - I think the look uncomfy too, but have shown sis the difference btwn the soft shoes vs. Hard ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338852 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:53:31 +0000 hilsy85 338852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: ha yes...I'm not quite sure how it happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338850 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:52:19 +0000 Mrsbells 338850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: wow! 33? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338845 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:49:01 +0000 hilsy85 338845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 33 pairs of trumpette socks...I have a problem =P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338778 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:00:28 +0000 autumnlove 338778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has way too many pairs! I love socks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338769 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:57:34 +0000 prettylizy 338769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soooo many socks, Trumpettes, knock off Trumpettes, plain white ones from Target and hand me downs. They are such a fun little accessory </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338762 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:56:00 +0000 Mommy Finger 338762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have soooooo many pairs of socks. We were gifted some but mainly we got a lot of hand me downs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338643 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:05:28 +0000 duckduckkristen 338643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't use any socks for LO until he was a few months old. He was born in May and I had a pair of slippers I kept on his feet that were adorable! Now at 5.5 months we have probably 8-10 pairs of socks but since his socks don't get dirty I let him wear each pair a couple times before I wash them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338639 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:02:35 +0000 Sammyfab 338639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe I'm the odd one out but socks never stay on my LO so I much prefer to put shoes on him to keep his feet warm! We were gifted a bunch of socks...maybe a dozen or so? I think that's plenty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338632 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:00:29 +0000 heffalump 338632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For socks I think 10 pairs are enough in the winter.... you do so much laundry when they're newborns so even though you need a lot of socks you're constantly washing them. </p> <p>As far as shoes go, I didn't put any shoes on my LO's feet until she started cruising. We had some hand me downs and some that were gifted that I thought were super cute but they just looked so uncomfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338626 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:59:14 +0000 Mrsbells 338626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO wears socks everyday to daycare. I dont think the trumpette socks are as practical as the regular socks I got from walmart and target. The trumpette socks dont stay on as well as the cheaper brands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338624 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:57:31 +0000 mediagirl 338624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby socks are great, especially in winter if you don't have your lo in footed sleepers or pants. I really don't know if there can be too many Trumpettes in anyone's dresser. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-how-many-socks-for-baby#post-338614 Fri, 12 Oct 2012 13:54:32 +0000 shopaholic 338614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I couldn't help myself and bought a couple of boxes of Trumpette socks on Zulily last night. I already have a few boxes and sets I've bought here and there, as well as my sister is obsessed with buying baby socks and baby shoes.<br /> How many pairs of socks are too much? Do they really wear them that much or is it just something cute that always gets lost and goes missing?</p> <p>P.S. I know baby shoes are completely impractical and a waste of money - I keep trying to limit her, but they are just so darn cute! </p>
