Just looked quick at costco and they have a set with two shirts, two shorts and two pants right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886809 Wed, 05 Jun 2019 12:54:11 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2886809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We wear Carter’s and also pants only. I find them at Costco and at carters store. They go up to 12 don’t they?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886639 Tue, 04 Jun 2019 13:14:14 +0000 hellobeeboston 2886639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: oh funny - i *JUST bought both kids PJs at HA because of the awesome sale -- they also ship!

DS1 is 6.5 and growing out of all of his pj's. I just need to get him on board with this. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886480 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 12:25:49 +0000 azaela 2886480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do both. We get some hand me downs and those end up being shorts and a random worn out or stained tee shirt. My kids do prefer sets. I used to get them from Target but a lot of times they won't last. My oldest got a pair of Christmas PJ's and we ordered the larger size so he could wear them 2 years and after about 5 washes they were threadbare. We do have one Cat &amp; Jack set for my youngest and the quality seems fine. I would consider more of that brand only from Target. Since we have 3 kids I have recently started to buy more HA so that they will last through all of them.<br /> For winter my kids all still love fleece footed jammies from Carter's. I try to stock up when I find good clearance deals. It is hard to find a lot for cheap above toddler sizes and you just have to get lucky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886431 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 09:02:38 +0000 nwm 2886431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my oldest is still 3 so not sure these would help, but since i haven't seen them rec'd above, we love the PJs we've gotten from uniqlo (long &amp; skinny) and kickee pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886430 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 08:58:33 +0000 krispi 2886430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter wears long sleeved PJ shirts and pants every night to bed, even in the summer, because she never keeps covers on her. We're not too careful about always making sure the shirt is the one made to match the pants though. We buy mostly Carters, but only on sale. I've found them for a pretty good price at Target. I've bought other character PJs from Target, and they seemed to be sized a good bit smaller than Carters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886426 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 08:53:27 +0000 graceandjoy 2886426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest is only 4.5 so she is mostly still in 4T that are also a little short; but since it's summer, I usually make do and then by fall I skip a size and probably just go to girls 5 I guess? I don't even know haha.</p> <p>I've ordered nice PJs that are 100% cotton during lightening deals on Amazon. Also have gotten from Target, Gap/ON, Disney store, etc etc. Not really picky. In the winter I do fleece sets only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886398 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 20:54:59 +0000 bees_knees 2886398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: out of curiosity, I just searched where the nearest HA outlet is...1340 miles away from me :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886396 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 20:48:21 +0000 peachykeen 2886396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bluebonnet: agreed on the multiple years of wear for HA! I'm putting my 22 mo DD in 90 (3) this summer and my almost 5 year old DD can fit size 90-110 (though she's more or less outgrown the 90 long pants in length). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886395 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 20:46:07 +0000 peachykeen 2886395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine wear HA almost exclusively, but we buy used or at the outlets (they have sales several times a year where they are $15 and under). Even if you don't have an outlet near you, you can call during the sale and they will ship to you. The quality is amazing and my eczema-prone daughter does much better in them than Carter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886389 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 19:47:53 +0000 bees_knees 2886389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Becky: bathing suits?! I agree, that doesn’t seem comfortable to me either :silly: </p> <p>@katsupgirl: @SweetCaroline: I totally forgot about Primary! I’ve actually never even ordered from there!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: bring the 90210 nightgown back! 😂</p> <p>@meganmp: adorable!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! I guess I’ll just ask DS what he wants to do! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886369 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 15:47:43 +0000 SweetCaroline 2886369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Primary jammies. They make short and long sleeve as well as pants and shorts. Makes it so easy to mix and match to tailor a set to the temps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886338 Sun, 02 Jun 2019 10:26:10 +0000 Beebeeholiday 2886338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7- year old: oversized shirt and undies<br /> 5-year old: matching HA PJ sets, every night. She will wear long sleeves even when it’s 80 degrees out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886321 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 21:50:41 +0000 meganmp 2886321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll buy them cute matching sets, and they 100% prefer to wear their dad's old Tshirts, which is, in all honesty, pretty cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886306 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 17:27:31 +0000 Bluebonnet 2886306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I mostly do HA (all bought on sale). Their sizing is magical and somehow lasts more than a year for each kid (and sets still look great after going through 2 kids). FYI - they are having a massive sale now. </p> <p>Previously I tried Carters, Old Navy, Gap, but they don’t hold up well (stretch out, pill, shrink, are too short 2 months after purchasing, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886304 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 17:11:34 +0000 nana87 2886304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My kids don’t really differentiate between regular clothes and pjs 🤷‍♀️ I stopped buying lo1 pjs when she was about 3.5, she prefers to sleep in her regular leggings and t-shirts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886291 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 14:38:59 +0000 Becky 2886291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly pj sets. My kids are weird though and sometimes they wear bathing suits (which seems so uncomfortable to me) or sleep naked 🤷‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886271 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 10:23:44 +0000 katsupgirl 2886271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: we do a combo. I generally don’t stress matching sets because the tops are always too tight on my DD. The arms are super tight in both long and short sleeves. </p> <p>For bottoms she’s still wearing size 4 and she’s 6 wearing mostly size 7 for regular clothes. I get pj bottoms from Primary. Tops are clothes she’s outgrown or old navy/ target t-shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886259 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 07:07:25 +0000 ALV91711 2886259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 is 6 and wears pj’s. I try and watch for sales. We have a mixture of Costco, Walmart &amp; Carter’s pj’s. </p> <p>I like your idea@KT326: I think as he outgrows his current pj’s I’ll do this. It sounds much easier and cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886258 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 06:50:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2886258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My almost 6 year old girl still wears pajama sets most nights. Gap, on major sale, are my favorite. They are really soft and hold up to two kids. But I do have a hard time<br /> Finding short sleeve tops with pants sometimes so i do mix and match. My girls will happily sleep in shorts but both have a rash on their legs that they scratch if they don’t have on pants. </p> <p>And I totally had pajamas growing up for a long time. I can remember my 90210 Jason Priestly nightgown that I begged for at kids r us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886256 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 06:40:10 +0000 catgirl 2886256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4.5 year old DD prefers actual pajamas. We've still had luck at carters moving into the kid sizes. They go up to a 12 or 14, so lots of sizes. </p> <p>The carters boys pajamas has a section of separates that are all $5-7. Pants, shorts, t shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886251 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 06:07:14 +0000 LadyDi 2886251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normally we just get Carters or Gap but recently purchased Kirkland brand PJs. I like them but I do think they run small. Just something to be aware of!</p> <p>FWIW, I remember wearing PJ sets in the winter and nightgowns in the summer when I was little until I was old enough to realize other girls did NOT wear pink nightgowns to bed and I switched to oversized t shirts and shorts....probably whenever I started going to sleepovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886247 Sat, 01 Jun 2019 05:27:32 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2886247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually no pajamas. DS is in only underwear while DD is wearing a diaper. Occasionally, they decide to wear pajamas, but it is not a fight I'm willing to have if they don't want to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886242 Fri, 31 May 2019 23:28:13 +0000 bees_knees 2886242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: brilliant!! Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-big-kids-sleep-in#post-2886241 Fri, 31 May 2019 23:27:17 +0000 KT326 2886241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: it makes it so much easier! I gave up on sets when he was around 5. I can get a 5 pack of shirts for like $12 and depending on the sale pajama pants for $5-10 each. We rotate between three pairs of pajama pants right now. </p>
