I think we may start mixing and matching 2 piece PJs in order to get something that fits decently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fire-saftey-and-pajamas#post-1631266 Tue, 13 May 2014 11:44:57 +0000 78h2o 1631266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarah.clarisse: lol! yeah, we are currently using the tight fitting 100% cotton ones.</p> <p>If LOs need to wear tight pjs to bed, why don't adults. I reaaally don't get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fire-saftey-and-pajamas#post-1631241 Tue, 13 May 2014 11:39:11 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1631241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarah.clarisse: Hah...this made me laugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fire-saftey-and-pajamas#post-1631233 Tue, 13 May 2014 11:36:58 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1631233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My understating is that they are tight fitting for all those times your LO dances around an open flame before bed. Seriously... It doesn't make sense at all!<br /> As to if the chemicals in fire retardant are safe... Technically they are approved as safe. But I think it's a personal choice. I am choosing to avoid any clothes that have been sprayed with or soaked in chemicals. I would rather avoid open flame and make sure my smoke detectors have batteries.</p> <p>Eta: my avoidance is not so much because I think the chemicals absorb into LOs skin. But he chews and sucks on everything plus enhales any off gassing. In general we try to keep chemicals out of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fire-saftey-and-pajamas#post-1631138 Tue, 13 May 2014 11:04:56 +0000 jessibear 1631138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great question, this really confuses me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fire-saftey-and-pajamas#post-1631100 Tue, 13 May 2014 10:56:03 +0000 78h2o 1631100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can someone explain to me why pjs need to be tight fitting to be more fire safe? Why pjs specifically and not other clothes? </p> <p>What about flame-retardant chemicals? Are they safe?? </p>
