I start with him sitting up and do his left arm first and then right. I lay him down, put on his diaper/cream, then put his legs in. Then I always button from the top down. cheert16 on "When you put on sleepers, where do you start?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-put-on-sleepers-where-do-you-start#post-1002795 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 01:43:37 +0000 cheert16 1002795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Legs, then arms, then tummy shopaholic on "When you put on sleepers, where do you start?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-put-on-sleepers-where-do-you-start#post-1002786 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 01:31:07 +0000 shopaholic 1002786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Pre-rolling, I did arms first. Since the rolling and feet grabbing, I do her right leg, right arm, left leg, left arm. I have to snap the legs as fast as possible, so I usually try to keep one or two snaps closed at the bottom before putting her feet in! oliviaoblivia on "When you put on sleepers, where do you start?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-put-on-sleepers-where-do-you-start#post-1002278 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:31:25 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1002278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I pre snap the legs, then put them on like pants. I try to limit the snaps I do on her body cause she's so squirmy!

I don't undo the snaps past the belly button if I'm just doing a diaper change. it's been a long time since he's worn sleepers now rawrasaur on "When you put on sleepers, where do you start?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-put-on-sleepers-where-do-you-start#post-1002177 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 21:11:57 +0000 rawrasaur 1002177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Whatever isn't moving the most.

Leg with the zipper or snaps last.

Lay him on top of the jammies, slide in the feet, do some snaps. Then his arms and finish snapping.

I totally thought that was normal! Feet first! But he is a toddler... I think I did it differently when he was a non-mobile infant. I would lay him on top of the sleeper, but I probably still did feet first. I don't remember ha. lovehoneybee on "When you put on sleepers, where do you start?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-put-on-sleepers-where-do-you-start#post-1002068 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:55:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 1002068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Arms, then the harder leg (at least with the Carter's zip-ups...the side that doesn't zip all the way to the ankle) then the other leg, then zip up. bpcmarj on "When you put on sleepers, where do you start?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-put-on-sleepers-where-do-you-start#post-1002067 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:55:24 +0000 bpcmarj 1002067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Feet, always.

I had to really think about it though! She hasn't had a sleeper on in months with the summer heat.

Do you start with the arms first? The legs first? Down one side (left or right) first? Or just whichever limb isn't flailing around too much? I find that I normally start on her left side (my right) first, doing her arm, her leg, then the other leg, then her other arm, zip or snap. But sometimes, if I'm changing a diaper and my focus is already down there, I'll start with the feet and start snapping halfway up until I get to her torso. Where do you start when you slip you LO into a sleeper?
