I feel like it's a good option for being out and about in the carrier, but would be uncomfortable (and possibly dangerous in some cases) in a stroller/carseat/crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2634159 Sat, 08 Oct 2016 13:08:46 +0000 SweetiePie 2634159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't for a while then I realized since he wears a sleep sack I can tuck it down in there. But they were thin and not bulky (almost like t shirt material) so I don't think he noticed them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2634155 Sat, 08 Oct 2016 12:29:43 +0000 lady baltimore 2634155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't worry about her napping in things like that last winter when she was pretty stationary while sleeping. At the moment, she is all over her crib during a nap, so it would make me uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2634001 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 20:12:49 +0000 tlcbaby 2634001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By that age, we were definitely napping in some cute hooded outfits like that. Once he was mobile (crawling, rolling over), I wasn't really worried about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633978 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 19:32:07 +0000 catlady 2633978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Ha, so true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633969 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 19:18:37 +0000 mrsrain 2633969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I treat things with hoods as outerwear. Great for walks or being out and about, but would take them off at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633957 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 19:01:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2633957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: super cute! I think t would be very expensive to ship to the us though. But I do think I've seen similar things at baby gap- just not for $9. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633943 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 18:45:46 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2633943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoods are so cute especially with the animal ears. I was freaked out by them and still am. I think maybe she was in one once or twice for a nap and I tucked it inside her sleep sack. But then I worried about it making the neck of her sleep sack too tight...so now I just forgo hooded shirts or sweaters for naps. I don't buy ahirts with hoods and was annoyed that a cute hand me down one had one because I didn't want to have to change her for a nap. </p> <p>It may be overthinking it, but isn't such a big part of motherhood paranoia?! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633941 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 18:45:06 +0000 alphagam84 2633941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they look uncomfortable to nap in and don't have her wear them for that reason </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633937 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 18:42:28 +0000 Alba4 2633937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I avoid until 1 or so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633932 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 18:30:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2633932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: we have some of these that are super cozy and not totally jammie looking.<br /> <a href="http://www.roots.com/ca/en/baby-cozy-original-cooper-beaver-romper-35040055.html?cgid=Baby-Girl&#038;start=37&#038;selectedColor=J50#start=37" rel="nofollow">http://www.roots.com/ca/en/baby-cozy-original-cooper-beaver-romper-35040055.html?cgid=Baby-Girl&#038;start=37&#038;selectedColor=J50#start=37</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633929 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 18:26:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 2633929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: he'll probably spit up on it before nap time anyway :)</p> <p>@kiddosc: I just feel like it could get twisted and pull on her neck or something.

Totally freaked me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633927 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 18:24:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 2633927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah you all are saying what I remover thinking when my older one was a baby. No hoods for naps. We have some zip up hoodies for going outside but those are easy to get on and off. But I'm not changing her full outfit for naps. Oh well. A one piece that looks like an outfit, not pjs, would be nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633896 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 17:24:49 +0000 cam 2633896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pretty much avoided hoods until he could walk because i found them annoying and even then I changed him for naps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633855 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 16:26:36 +0000 Mrsbells 2633855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: when LO was that age she didnt wear hoodies to sleep.i dont think they would be comfortable sleeping in that to be honest </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633853 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 16:23:47 +0000 Silva 2633853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So more than the hood the zipper always bothers me. They have no neck so it gets squished in the folds an always looks so uncomfortable!!! I have a few button up hoodies and haven't had trouble with those- but my kid only naps on me so he usually just wears the hood... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633840 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 16:01:31 +0000 catlady 2633840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, I totally forgot about this and I just bought a little hooded one-piece for our new guy due in December. Oh well. I remember now not wanting to put DD down to sleep in a hoodie until she was basically a toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633819 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 15:21:24 +0000 kiddosc 2633819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a problem putting my LOs down to sleep with hoods on. </p> <p>How does it pose a risk? Like if it twisted around and smothered them, or got hooked on something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633813 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 15:10:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2633813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate hoodies for this reason. I especially hate how a lot of the sweater dresses for girls come with hoods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633789 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:40:28 +0000 GreenThumb 2633789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just thought twice before adding these kind to my registry. I agree that I'd be nervous about safety and comfort during naps. Such a bummer - there are so many cute one pieces with hoods!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633788 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:39:43 +0000 raspberries 2633788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare doesn't let little ones sleep in hooded shirts - they get changed into their back-up outfit. That being said, our LO has definitely slept in hooded outfits at home, and never seemed bothered by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633786 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:35:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2633786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get kind of paranoid so I end up stripping DD down during naps depending on what she's wearing. She runs hot and we keep the house kind of warm so I think she's more comfortable napping in her diaper. I wouldn't let her nap with a hood on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633782 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:30:59 +0000 runnerd 2633782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It never even occurred to me to worry about this! I might have worried at early ages, but I didn't buy many hooded outfits under after sitting up stage so really didn't worry me then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633770 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:17:25 +0000 looch 2633770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like hoods to begin with, I avoided them. I think they're a bad idea for sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633767 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:14:40 +0000 mediagirl 2633767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never put her in hooded sweatshirts, sleepers or things like that because of paranoia! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633766 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:12:06 +0000 snowjewelz 2633766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Love these fleece suits too! DD lived in them last winter! I don't remember changing her out of it for naps... I mean, she also wears hoodies sometimes and naps too. She doesn't really move during naps? At home we can see her on the monitor, and at daycare obviously a teacher is there...</p> <p>ETA: she was at least 11 months when I started putting her in those... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633765 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:10:56 +0000 jhd 2633765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO only had one or two little hoodies around that age and I don't remember letting him sleep in them. Maybe tucking it in like @brownepiano: suggested, but I would probably skip the hooded outfits for naps honestly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633764 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:10:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 2633764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownepiano: they seem really popular and I can't imagine most people change for every nap time so I keep thinking I'm overthinking it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hoods-and-naps#post-2633762 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 14:08:43 +0000 brownepiano 2633762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've wondered about this too. All DS2 sweatshirts have hoods. I just tucked it in once and put him down but it didn't look comfortable so I haven't done it again. </p>
