Great responses ladies! :) Where do I begin? lol... </p> <p>@SCG00387 - I think sweatpants on little boys are cute and also agreed that jeans seem pretty difficult to wrangle on boys or girls. eek</p> <p>@stargal - Diaper changing convenience has definitely been a point my mommy friends have warned me about.</p> <p>@looch - Exactly what I've been thinking!</p> <p>@meridithnyc - Excellent practicality points! And thanks for pointing out the belly factor. I didn't realize that's why some moms don't like the leggings/onesie look. I guess I'll have to wait and see if it bugs me! :)</p> <p>@birdieputt - Oh the danger I can see myself getting into with those Baby Gap sales! :) Glad to hear your perspective since you're already putting them to use!</p> <p>@zippylef - Oh jeggings! I just bought a pair of Levis jeggings! I can't wait to pair those with tunics! heehee! </p> <p>@crisark &amp; @turtledoves &amp; @zippylef - LOL! I can see your point about boys in leggings! Didn't even know they made them for little boys! Yes, I guess I mean pants in general! :)</p> <p>@artbee - Gifts will be used and gratefully so right?! :)</p> <p>@thehistoryofus - Makes total sense!</p> <p>@autumnlove - ouch! that doesn't sound comfy at all!</p> <p>@mrssuperhero - LOL! Totally not offended or anything. Just didn't realize that they might look funny? But now I understand about the baby belly thing! And I LOVE talking fashion and style, adults OR babies! :)</p> <p>@crumbs - Scrunched up footsies! oh no! :) I fear I will have A LOT of overalls in our baby's future as my MIL is kind of OBSESSED with them. LOL. Unless they have snaps at the bottom, does that mean you have to take the whole thing off for every diaper change? I LOVE rompers, but also the same diaper concern. So far she already got one romper as a gift. SUPER cute, but no snaps. :/</p> <p>@babyboymom - Really? Weird looks? I was counting on just LO wearing the onesie w/out bottoms too if it were warm out. So many things I am just learning about how people think LOs should dress. :)</p> <p>@runsyellowlites - Hmmm... so many moms talking about these babylegs! I better check them out! </p> <p>@runningelley - so cute!</p> <p>@tysonja - I love it! I'd definitely get some of those styles too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301638 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:59:02 +0000 tysonja 301638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hehe the gap sells a lot of those tshirt-onesies for those who aren't into the 'tucked in' look but love the function of a onesie! they call them 'body doubles' :)<br /> <a href="http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=54659&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=914785&#038;scid=914785003" rel="nofollow">http://www.gapcanada.ca/browse/product.do?cid=54659&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=914785&#038;scid=914785003</a></p> <p>we love striped 'leggings' for our little boy! cute! </p> [attach=968/12/mamd6e.202x270.cn5471075.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301609 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:14:23 +0000 MsMini 301609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sawyer wears onesies with baby legs at home, I like to dress him up more when we go out though. The babylegs and onesie is just easy, and keeps him nicely covered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301602 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:10:19 +0000 mrskc 301602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: So cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301599 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:07:59 +0000 Crisark 301599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: I think I misunderstood the question as baby legs which I don't care for. 'Leggings/Sweat pants" aren't an issue at all for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301595 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:04:29 +0000 Running Elley 301595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will definitely be dressing baby boy in onesies and baby legs! I'm actually planning on him wearing a lot of that for his first few months. They're adorable!</p> <p>I'm thinking like this. <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/135459901262662389/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/pin/135459901262662389/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301583 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:54:47 +0000 jedeve 301583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think baby boys deserve to be just as comfortable as baby girls and have mobility! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301574 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:47:37 +0000 runsyellowlites 301574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has quite a few pair of leggings that she NEVER wears. My SIL keeps getting her some but I don't like them.</p> <p>She usually wears onesies w/ babylegs, shirts with pants/shorts/skirt, or dresses w/ coordinating dipe. I will probably start putting some of her leggings under her dresses as it starts to get cooler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301557 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:23:02 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 301557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the whole point of a onesie is that the shirt doesn't ride up. LO wore lots of onesies with pants when he was little. He actually wore lots of onesies with nothing else when it was hot, but I always got stares like he wasn't fully dressed when I did that. Then again there are only so many options for baby boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301545 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:08:35 +0000 SugarplumsMom 301545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never liked the onesie + pants combo, so I never bought pants. LO also never wore onesies for the first 2 months! As a first time Mom, I was too scared to fiddle with putting anything over her bobble head.</p> <p>Now that she's almost 3 months old, she wears onesies and I've given in and bought some pants too! She has large feet and possibly long legs, so a lot of her sleepers scrunch up her little feet. DH thinks she looks cute in them, like she's a big girl, although I'm still not a fan, they're good for around the house. </p> <p>My favorite combo for the colder weather: onesies + overalls or rompers. They're as practical as leggings, without the belly bulge and tucked-in look. Just throw on a sweater, a hair bow, cute socks/slippers and it's a real outfit :)</p> <p>BTW, I find the pink Gap leggings (that come 2 in a pack) run really small! The 3-6 m is a lot smaller than Carter's 3 months. They hardly fit her and she normally wears 0-3 m. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301532 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:57:33 +0000 mrskc 301532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the leggings and onsie look. I bought my baby boy some baby legs leggings. I think they're going to be really cute on him and can't wait to see how he looks in them! He also has some sweatpants that he'll wear too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301516 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:44:35 +0000 immabeetoo 301516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm surprised at the anti-boy leggings thing - maybe I just have a more liberal definition of leggings/sweatpants? I view them as interchangeable though I guess I can see leggings being tighter cut.</p> <p>@crisark @turtledoves I'm just curious since you both mentioned not for boys - do you think jeans are the only way to go? Or do you not think of pants like this: <a href="http://zutano.com/shop/category/baby-boy-bottoms/" rel="nofollow">http://zutano.com/shop/category/baby-boy-bottoms/</a> as leggings.</p> <p>I realize my gender 'norms' are more flexible than other peoples - but I'm just curious now if we'll be getting the style side eye when me and my boy go out of the house! (Not that we might not for something else, who knows!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301472 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:20:35 +0000 Mrsbells 301472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I;ve never bought my LO leggings, she has one pair she received as a gift. I usually put her i n a onsie and skirt or onesie and dress. But I think when they are her age ( 5months) its really doesnt matter because they look cute in anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301461 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:06:00 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 301461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: the extra layer keeps them from having exposed skin on their back when it's cold. I also do a lot of long sleeved onesies under t-shirts with pants. Seriously, my blog post could have been three times as long, I'm ridiculous </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301458 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 15:03:04 +0000 T.H.O.U. 301458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: I'm thinking for winter we will do a lot of the L/S onesies under a dress with leggings. Lots of layers but much easier! Shirts under dresses is just so much harder! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301452 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:57:18 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 301452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally not trying to mess with your wardrobe choices!</p> <p>We do baby legs with onesies. Also a lot of onesies with leggings and a casual dress or longer shirt overtop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301427 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:35:58 +0000 autumnlove 301427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO wears leggings(pants) with onesies. I'm waiting for her thighs to thin out before I try Baby Legs again...right now they leave marks on her chubs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301415 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:28:53 +0000 T.H.O.U. 301415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For our girl, onesies and leggings were AMAZING for daycare because it kept her warm and covered. We didnt start with dresses until she was past the crawling age and are just now getting into stiff clothing like jeans. </p> <p>For boys I love the little romper things! So cute and super practical! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301392 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:16:52 +0000 loveisstrange 301392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, by leggings we're talking PANTS, right? Not leg warmers/baby legs? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301390 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:16:00 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 301390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are cute for girls...odd for boys. But, that doesn't mean I wouldn't try it if I got some as a gift. I just wouldn't go out and get them myself (i'm having a boy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301385 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:11:42 +0000 heffalump 301385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad bought me a whole bunch of onesie's and leggings that go together..... so my LO will be wearing them. They're the only warm clothes she owns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301321 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:32:20 +0000 Crisark 301321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of the onesies and leggings look but that's just me. Little dresses with them sure! But, I wouldn't be putting a boy in them at all. Just my personal taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301313 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:28:43 +0000 loveisstrange 301313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C lives in onesies and leggings most of the time. I stock up on basic onesies and solid colored leggings in the next sizes up. I love jeggings over jeans, but she does have a couple pairs of jeans (Gymboree matching outfits) that she wears. </p> <p>I honestly agree with a few of her points in her blog. I don't dress C in licensed characters either, for the same reasons she doesn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301309 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:27:05 +0000 looch 301309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: Yes, the tucked in look. I hate when you see a diaper hanging out of the back of pants and an exposed back. Not cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301306 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:25:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 301306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My little girl will be rocking onsies and leggings in addition to dreses with leggings! I also go some thicker pants for colder nights! I think I can still make her look cute even with a "tucked in shirt" look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301294 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:23:09 +0000 birdieputt 301294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i did the same thing as you - stocked up on onesies and leggings at Baby Gap last weekend. i prefer pairing a onesie with leggings (as opposed to a separate top w/ leggings) because the onesie keeps the baby's belly and back warm and unexposed to the air. my babies just lay about on their backs or tummies all day, so i don't see the point in dressing them in stiff clothing right now. i happen to think my girls look cute with their little bellies bulging over their leggings. i even put their socks over the leggings to rock the 80s look. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301293 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:22:57 +0000 meredithNYC 301293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dress my LO in onesies with leggings all the time. I think it's just practical! Though I took Mrs. Superhero's suggestions to be more tongue-in-cheek or, at the very least, just her personal opinion, you know?</p> <p>Personally, I think chubby baby bellies look adorable with the "tucked in" look. Plus, I hate, hate, hate when LO's little t-shirts ride up. It's annoying when trying to burp her, especially. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301292 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:22:37 +0000 looch 301292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son wore pants, always with a onesie. It wasn't a big pain to change him and if we had to go somewhere, I could just pop on a jacket and we were out the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301291 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:22:24 +0000 stargal 301291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my little guy is rocking a onsie and leggings right now. super cute look and so easy to deal with when his diaper needs to be changed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-style-onesies-wleggings#post-301278 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:13:10 +0000 immabeetoo 301278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it - her blog post was just * her * style :) This is our first coming in November, but after wrangling nieces and babysitting kids into jeans.. I can say that actual jeans will not be making many appearances on our little guy until he is potty trained! </p> <p>I love leggings on kids, and he'll be rocking onesies and sweatpants for sure. </p>
