Need Advice on What Brand of Baby Socks to Buy That STAY ON!
I have a 6 month old girl and I can't find any socks that will stay on her feet! Do you all have any recommendations?

Not too sure on many brands but I've had luck with Children's Place socks (with the rubber on the sole) and just any kind of sock that folds down because it keeps them a bit tighter above the ankle so they don't slide off so quickly. I also try to keep my baby girl in the lower end of the size range. Once they get the slightest too tight and the heel starts sliding toward her arch, all bets are off and so are the socks!

Ya got me. I never found any either. Babies have some magic ability to get their socks off without using their hands.

Hello,
I had the same problem with my first son, the only solution that worked for me was
Zutano booties. The have snaps and actually stayed on. Here is a link for reference:

Zutano baby clothes are sold are numerous baby stores on line. The booties come in a fleece material for winter and a lighter one for warmer weather. Also they have really fun patterns. I hope this helps

I found I like the "bobby" socks that roll down (or you can leave them up) from Old Navy. They also have rubbery bottoms that are now helping my 8 month old. She like to crab crawl and she can get better "traction" with them. You pay a little bit more than you would at places like Target but they do stay on. Lot's of times I'll find them on sale on-line for about 1.25 a pair. However, even these will wiggle their way to a little loose. But my daughter has never managed to get them completely off. I also liked their other socks that are a little thicker. Kind of like sport socks for babies. They are also tall with the rubbery bottoms. I'm not sure if the trick is the taller socks or if Old Navy figured something out but whatever it is it works. Now I just have to keep my dryer from eating them.
Good Luck!
J.
