We keep a pair in the diaper bag for cold stores and museum but he does not wear them all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293460 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:11:08 +0000 heffalump 293460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always kept socks on my LO when it was cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293444 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 13:04:51 +0000 loveisstrange 293444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put C in tights a lot of the time.

Nicer to wear pants and socks. My kids grew really quickly... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293267 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 11:00:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 293267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always put on footed PJs so had no need for socks even though LO was born in the end of Feb. We had like 3 pairs for when we took her out in "regular" clothes, not PJs, and that was more than enough for the first couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293245 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:51:02 +0000 Goldilocks1107 293245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the first few weeks, we always put socks on (and she was born in May) and didn't have any issues with the newborn size socks staying on. Mittens are also a must - those little finger nails make Edward Scissorhands look like he has a lovely manicure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293231 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:47:47 +0000 kiddosc 293231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E has always had socks or footed PJs on. I found the carter socks sucked and would always fall off, but the circo socks we got at target stay on his feet really well. Babies have bad circulation and his tootsies are always cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293196 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:28:37 +0000 cvbee 293196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dressed mine in pants a lot (boy) and so we needed socks. His outfits were too cute not to use, so I kept the footed pjs for nightime. It was cool here, so the outfits needed socks. I learned that there were some socks that stayed on and some that did not. And we'd just use the ones that stayed on. (Sometimes I did the geeky socks-on-outside-of-pants thing).</p> <p>And we didn't do mittens. At the hospital we asked about cutting the nails or putting on mittens and they said that baby will learn quickly not to scratch his face, and it was true. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293190 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:21:31 +0000 matador84 293190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree-mittens more important than socks...they don't stay on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293167 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:12:59 +0000 Sammyfab 293167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're important in cooler weather but when my LO was itty bitty he wore his sleepers (footed pajamas) all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293162 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:11:29 +0000 regberadaisy 293162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO lived in sleepers so her foot stayed nice and toasty. :)</p> <p>Not important but mittens are important! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293156 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:10:37 +0000 tequiero21 293156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahaha sorry i missed out on the impotent. ipad spelling sucks!</p> <p>i personally think they are pretty important. we used socks as mittens so they don't scratch themselves as newborns). they just stuck on better although we did use mittens too. also, not sure if it's their circulation, but their feet were always cold. at 5 months, they still wear socks. i probably have like 18 pairs. (6 of them are too small now). actually the other 12 are getting small i really need to get bigger ones. maybe it's cuz they're used to it, but they keep them on. although my girl is really playing with her feet now and i can see her tugging on her socks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293155 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:10:33 +0000 mediagirl 293155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use footie pajamas for his/her first 6-8 weeks of life and you won't need them. I couldn't keep socks on her feet until she was 8-10 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293145 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:05:49 +0000 Lozza 293145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, with the weather that low and getting colder, you'll want socks. You'll probably have some footie outfits, but if those were the temperatures in my area, LO- even at at 18 months- would still be wearing socks most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293141 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:05:08 +0000 Beyond2 293141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: haha yes!

We didnt use them much in the beginning because we had warmer temps for the most part, but now that the weather is getting colder she wears socks everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293134 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:02:57 +0000 hilsy85 293134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not very important, and yet somehow I have 33 pairs...how did this happen?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293131 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:01:56 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 293131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are nice, but my 6 week old won't keep them on.</p> <p>So the socks are impotent in our house </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293127 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:00:43 +0000 MamaMoose 293127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHAHA I think you mean "IMPORTANT" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-impotent-are-socks-for-a-newborn#post-293124 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 10:00:12 +0000 Beyond2 293124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm due in 4 days. Right now, We own 2pairs of baby socks. Are they a neccesary newborn item? Current temps in our area are 40-50 at night and low 70s during the day. </p>
