My 18 month old still wears them occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for/page/2#post-2254004 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:54:37 +0000 Mrs D 2254004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sorry - didnt read all the other responses so it may have been mentioned!</p> <p>DD is almost 2 years (in size 18-24) and I still put her in onsies for a few reasons:</p> <p>1) Layering (they stay down/tucked in)<br /> 2) Easy to just be around the house in in the hot summer months<br /> 3) She just realized its fun to take off your diaper...a onsie keeps that in check until she is in need of the zip up the back jammies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for/page/2#post-2253970 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:39:22 +0000 snowjewelz 2253970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see us wearing till 18 mon... DD will be 12 mo in Dec so I'd totally still be putting these on as undershirts in the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for/page/2#post-2253956 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:31:06 +0000 travellingbee 2253956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We barely even used the 12 month ones but we live in a warm climate. I hated the snaps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for/page/2#post-2253951 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:29:19 +0000 Mamasig 2253951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well there is a difference between age and size. I stopped when my boys were around 12 months old and were walking/cruising more. However, they were in 18-24 month size at that time. I answered 12 months but that was based on age not size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253938 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:18:21 +0000 PinkElephant 2253938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them for winter as an under layer until kids are potty trained - even while my (then) 2.5 year old was potty training this winter, she wore them unbuttoned but tucked into her pants. They kept her back/belly from getting exposed while playing outside better than a regular shirt did since they stayed in/down. </p> <p>I'm not sure I'd buy 18 or 24 month onesies and expect to use them as outerwear, particularly considering your babies are likely to be on the smaller side since they are twins. My five and a half pounder (at birth) didn't wear 24 months onesies until her third winter (she was 2.5)...at that point they'd have been too babyish looking as shirts, IMO, unless they were the gap two- layer "body double" style or something similar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253937 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:17:57 +0000 Alivoo01 2253937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped at 12 months. I bought some larger sizes thinking of using them as undershirts to keep him warm in the winter. I just layered/bundled him up and it worked fine. </p> <p>DH wasn't a fan of snaps during diaper changes. I didn't think they were a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253931 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:14:11 +0000 catlady 2253931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped putting DD in onesies during the day by around 12 months (just switched to t-shirts) but she still wears them at to bed now at 22 months. They keep her diaper in place at night (she has a tendency to try to pull them off). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253923 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:10:28 +0000 CakeLady 2253923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 14 months and now that he's walking, most days now I put him in a tshirt and pants/shorts or a romper. He still wears onesies occasionally and I may start putting him in them again in the winter as an extra layer to keep him warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253904 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:02:23 +0000 Ash 2253904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253903 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 08:00:58 +0000 lamariniere 2253903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally love onesies. My DS only wore them until 16 months because he was huge and I couldn't find anymore to fit. DD is 20 months and will be in onesies for as long as they fit her or until we start potty training. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253884 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 07:47:50 +0000 BandDmommy 2253884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are they going to daycare? If so, I would avoid too many onesies, the daycare providers were so lazy about snapping the onesies and DS looked disheveled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253881 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 07:44:55 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2253881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a big 20 month old boy and I still like putting him in his 24 month onesies. They're a little tight but look comfortable enough. He mostly wears stuff like this around the house so I wouldn't spend much on onesies in the larger sizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253854 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 07:03:03 +0000 Ajsmommy 2253854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is 20 mos and it's hot here so she wears them around the house, we don't snap them though b/c they are too tight (long torso). I won't buy anymore. The ones we have are 18 mos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253851 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:58:27 +0000 hellobeeboston 2253851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At around 18 months we stopped. It was winter and I liked his belly not exposed in winter and other shirts rode up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253845 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:54:59 +0000 LovelyPlum 2253845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use them as a shirt at 16 months. Onesies and shorts are the easiest thing for her. Shirts just rise up over her Buddha belly :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253843 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:51:16 +0000 ALV91711 2253843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love onesies. Sadly we only have a couple in 24 month size so he doesn't wear them much any more. </p> <p>DS is 28 months and when it is hot and we are home this is what he will choose to wear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253841 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:41:22 +0000 woodentulip 2253841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped around 19 months, but that was because she was using the potty. I loved them for winter in particular! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253840 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:37:39 +0000 singingbee 2253840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped at 24 months. Her torso is so long that they no longer fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253837 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:27:15 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2253837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last pack of onesies I bought was in 18 months. However, if she's still in 24 months when the snow flies, I might pick up a few more- keep her belly and back warm in the winter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253835 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:17:01 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2253835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have about 3 in his current size (he's 16 months). I don't think I'll buy more unless I see a super cute one. T shirts are easier now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253833 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 06:12:41 +0000 jetsa 2253833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped using them when he started walking well so probably 18 month size and 16 month old he hated staying still to change and it looked fine without them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253818 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 05:53:30 +0000 Smurfette 2253818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped at 12 months. I hated the snaps at changes. Shirts were way easier and she was walking so it was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253816 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 05:51:08 +0000 Dandelion 2253816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M still wears them at 16 months. He wears them without pants around the house most days. Either that or rompers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253805 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 05:26:15 +0000 hilsy85 2253805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up til 18 months--he turned 18 months in April and that summer we stopped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253790 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 02:12:01 +0000 AprilFool 2253790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 6 months. I just found them so annoying after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253785 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 01:22:33 +0000 Bubbles 2253785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 19mo DS wears a onesie under his sleep sack, and I think he will do until I can't get one to fit him anymore. But he hasn't worn them during the day since before 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253778 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 00:37:40 +0000 lemondrop 2253778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first wore them up until 24m, my second we've been too lazy to bother with them past 12m. We started potty training at 3, so he was already well into shirt/pants by then. At 3 he also decided he preferred "shirt/pants" pj's too instead of the footed pj's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253760 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 23:50:27 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2253760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am different than other responses! Once it became summer, my 99 percentile 7 m boy was in all onesies all the time. Then because of his body shape he started getting horrible chafing! Like diaper rash but it would be only during the day, when he was rolling around scooting and being crazy. This happened with both cloth and disposable diapers and much worse with onesies. Now I just do t shirts and diapers, occasionally little loose shorts. I love the onesie look too! So basically I think I would have kept him in them much longer cause t shirts are cute but they ride up all day! He looks so grown up in them too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-do-babies-wear-onsies-for#post-2253751 Mon, 03 Aug 2015 23:19:17 +0000 birdofafeather 2253751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a few 18 month onesies but she was in those well before 18 months. I think I bought a couple 24 month onesies at 18 months old when she was taking off her diaper at night. That was about it. </p>
