I do! And do not plan on stopping any time soon for the same reason.

I do for the same reason that you do!

My mom shamed me for not doing it in the fall! So all winter I did. But now that it is warming up I don't worry about it anymore. I do prefer outfits that are already onesies though so she doesn't have the diaper/belly hanging out.

You just can't win. I don't put a onesie under her clothes unless it's cold outside and I get comments "How come you don't have a onesie under her shirt?"

It has never occurred to me to do this. Granted she wears onesies most of the time, since she is 8 weeks old.

How ridiculous that someone would comment on that! Some people just love to act like they 'know better.' I always put a onesie under a two piece outfit because I think it would be more comfortable for LO.

My son is 28 months and we're just now not using onesies under clothing!

I do unless it's too warm.

That's pretty rude to say. I don't get why the general public thinks it's ok to be condescending to 1st time moms, or to make any disapproving comments on any choices a mom makes (safety issues aside).

As for us, I put onesies on under X's outfits until he was 4 months old and it got warmer and he started rolling back to tummy. As he got older (and we started doing more EC and he got more squirmy) I started to hate onesies and overalls. Too much hassle-- it became too frustrating to try and get those on X around 6 months. Plus, they're not really conducive to ECing. But the epic battles over getting dressed when onesies or overalls are involved is the bigger reason I dislike them.

@Looch: how do you get LO to wear onesies every day for that long!? At 18 months, when X wears onesies, overalls, anything with snaps, it's a battle bc X wants to do it all himself. And he's so squirmy that when he doesn't care about doing it himself, he's focused on playing with something -- usually across the room -- so I have to pin him down (there are tears & tantrums) or I have to crawl after him snapping snaps as he walks.

@red_seattle: It wasn't always easy, and some days, I picked my battles! We went through a period where I had to do diaper changes standing up and I got pretty good at also snapping the onesie shut by feel only. There were also days where just the longer tails of the onesie tucked in were good enough!

I also made some of my own "onesies" using toddler sized turlenecks and ironed on cut bottoms from old/stained/outgrown onesies. They were fabulous under overalls and they function like a shirt/onesie in one!

I do it when it is cold!

evverrryday!

That's very rude. What difference does it make to her?

I do if the shirt is shorter! If it's a dress with leggings or something I know that wont't ride up then I don't. I also stopped doing it at night since she was getting too warm.

I don't always, but I've started to now that our son is more mobile. I don't want him to get a belly rash from rolling around on the carpet with his t-shirt riding up.

I think people who say stuff like that are being so rude! What does being a first time mom have to do with dressing your child? Pssht,

I did during the winter to keep him warm. But now that warmer weather is here and he is walking all over the place I don't. Its actually much easier for diaper changes because I don't have to button anything!

Nope! I'm a first time mom but I like onsies under things too. I do not like diapers and bellys hanging out. If you want that for your kid, that's fine. In the summer it's a different story, but I tend to lean towards onsie sets or one piece sets for the summer anyway. I'm all for the onsie!

I can't really understand why anyone would do this except for warmth. Just don't get it, honestly. But I would NEVER say that out loud to someone unsolicited. How rude.

If I had a list of the things that people told me 'oh first time mom, hah, you'll knock that off soon', it would be a mile long. Extended breastfeeding, feeding mostly whole foods, pledging never to yell - man. And here I am, never having yelled, never having fed a chicken nugget, still breastfeeding. And there are probably plenty of things that I've let slide, too, but still. It's just so rude of people to assume that you'll eventually 'learn better' than to do some thing that you've consciously chosen to do. So arrogant and annoying and irritating.

Ugh, that was a bitchy comment. What exactly is there to "learn" that would change whether you put onesies under clothes at this point?

I don't put them because my lo gets overheated easily, but I think it's a good idea.

S runs super hot, so having him wear onesies under an outfit would be akin to torture! He would be miserably hot.
