Even as a little kid, I hated to be tucked in because I liked my feet to be free and never wore socks at night (still don't). Are there any shoes that have wooly inserts? I've seen some like that by Crocs for adults but I don't know about kids. That might make you feel better about not putting socks on him when he's going to daycare or taking a ride in the car.</p> <p>He obviously knows when his toes are cold - because he rubs them in the blanket. I wonder if you just let him work this out on his own? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7771 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 11:34:59 +0000 looch 7771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know, right? It is really common where I live to put tights on boys. They go right under the pants. It's just not for me though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7688 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:37:49 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 7688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>tights for boys!? okay. no. ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7576 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 14:04:50 +0000 looch 7576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went shopping for a pair of lined pants for my son the other day, the shop lady tried to sell me a pair of tights. They had trains on them, making them for boys, so she said, but I have a heard time getting used to the idea of tights for boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7574 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:39:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 7574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleep sack.... ya okay. This child would pull a FIT!!!!!<br /> Plus, I try to put jammies with feet on it, and he just wants to rip the feet out. </p> <p>I might have to cut them. ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7571 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:35:07 +0000 mrbee 7571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I didn't realize it was just an indoor thing. Charlie doesn't like to wear socks in the house either! He takes them off when he takes off his shoes, like a good (three-quarters) Asian boy.</p> <p>At night he wears a sleep sack, so his toes are nice and toasty even without socks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7570 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:28:21 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 7570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee, he only takes it off when he's indoors or in the car. He even takes them off when he naps. (throws them out of his crib)<br /> He takes his socks off at daycare too. </p> <p>I know when he's really cold he go gets his cover and rubs his feet in it... but still, i wish he's feet weren't cold. I guess I can't do much. </p> <p>Definitely won't try the elastic band thingy. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7554 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:08:03 +0000 Andrea 7554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend kept her daughter's socks on with Baby Legs. <a href="http://www.babylegs.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.babylegs.com/</a></p> <p>Or how about getting shoes that are harder to take off? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7551 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:04:54 +0000 Boogs 7551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No tips, but you reminded me of a funny (well kinda but not really) story. When my dad was a baby he was the same way, so my grandma apparently used rubberbands tied around his ankles to hold his socks on. They were so tight and were on so long that his circulation was cut-off and he was at risk for loosing both of his feet! So you might not want to do that. ;)</p> <p>Maybe if you just let your LO realize how cold he's going to get he'll eventually leave at least his socks on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7550 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:04:47 +0000 mrbee 7550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When Charlie refuses to put his jacket on, I don't argue with him. We just go outside without a jacket and he realizes that it's pretty cold out. Then I offer him his jacket, and he puts it on without any protest!</p> <p>Not sure if there's a way to do something similar here... does he take off his shoes and socks when he's outside too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-cant-keep-his-socks-on#post-7543 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:00:27 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 7543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So for the longest time, Mavrick prefers to be bare foot. He pulls his socks off ALL THE TIME when he gets his hands on it. He even takes off his shoes to take off his socks.</p> <p>It didn't bother me much during the summer, but now that it's getting chilly poor babys feet are cold. Yet, I put socks on him... and 2 minutes later he takes them off. I've tried putting slippers on him and that doesn't work too.</p> <p>Any tips on what can be done? </p>
