It's getting cold and M's favorite game is to take her socks off the second I put them on. Any advice or should I start duct-taping them on?

The only thing that works here is immediately putting shoes over the socks. We have given up on socks at home ...

Maybe you could try slippers. We used these with the baby- http://www.amazon.com/Zutano-Newborn-Unisex-Baby-Fleece-Bootie/dp/B004ARQO1I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1382923451&sr=8-4&keywords=baby+slippers
That said, I wouldn't worry about it too much about it.

Thanks ladies!
@MsMini: Yeah, it's so hard at home! I hate to have her in shoes all the time, but her little bare feet feel so cold
@travelingnanny: Those look so cozy! I'm not super worried about it, but she definitely doesn't understand that socks keep her feet warm and I can only keep my house so warm!

I'm having this issue too! She will also take any shoes off and then go for the socks!. I think I need to get baby shoes with snaps/button. I think these would be the only kind she wouldn't be able to take off. I only put shoes on her when we go outside - it's cold and I want to protect her feet.

@fancyfunction: Same here! My kid is obsessed with pulling at the velcro. Maybe M is destined to be a flip-flop girl like her mom

It is such a struggle....she takes off her socks and shoes as soon as she sits down in her carseat! 22 months!

@autumnlove: The car is the worst! She likes to hand me her socks and shoes when I open her car door. Um... thanks!

@autumnlove: Always in the car! Last night was really cold and when we got home, she was barefoot!

I think dd just started accepting them when a) we started putting them on only because of a pair of her shoes, and she likes going out so she maybe thinks socks = going outside? and b) we bought socks that fit (2t at ~11 months?) and were thick and tight..they just looked more comfy.
I don't know if there's anything you can do to make them stop taking them off though. Maybe as it gets colder there will be more incentive...
