Pajamas for a 17Mo

I'm shopping online for pajamas for my 17month old she is currently wearing 12mo size, she was a preemie. I see that most of the pjs in the next size up for her don't have feet. When do you start putting them in pjs with no feet? At this age she moves around so much at night that a blanket does not stay on her and ends up in the corner of the crib. I would think her feet would get cold. Thanks for the help!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks everyone for all the input. We live overseas in a third world country so unfortunetly I can't just run out to the store and not all stores online are shipping friendly to a military address. I appreciate everyones ideas we will keep getting those with feet we will just look a little harder for them!

The Children's Place has feet pjs(cotton and fleece options) in sizes up to 3T or 36months. Maybe even 4T? That's where I order my kids Christmas pjs every year. You can google "coupon codes for children's place" to almost always get a discount. Retailmenot.com is usually the one I use. My 18 month old wears both kinds of pjs...I just put socks on him if they don't have feet:)

They still make pjs with feet up until about 5t I believe. I think they still come in packs of two up to about 24 mos. then you will have to buy them one at a time. I can still find them for my 4 year old. Wal-mart, JC Penney, Target..are to name a few. I don't like the ones without the feet either.

Our 2-yr-old sleeps like a rotisserie chicken, so there's no way we can keep blankets on him. We layer him in two pairs of sweats and an oversized pullover, plus thick socks.

My son never wore pj's with feet. he was too tall. He also moves around so much that blankets don't stay on him. I don't know where you live but it is getting warmer most places now so I wouldn't worry too much about it or use socks. AND thank you to whoever in your family is serving our country :)

My son is almost 5 and still loves pajamas with feet during the winter. For spring and summer he wears the tight fitting 2 piece pjs.

We get our pajamas with feet from Carters. They go up to a least 5 T in size.

my son is 2 and hates pj's with feet! I dont think the cold feet syndrome that we adults get really bothers toddlers! I wouldn't worry so much unless you decide to take her outside with pj's on but then you can always through on a pair of those sucks with the slip resistant soles or a pair of slippers.

Carters makes them...you can find them at Wal Mart and Target. But, the ones with footies past 12month size are very hard to find after winter. If you have trouble finding them, you can get a blanket called sleep sack. Babies R Us carries them. It is a blanket, both thin and thick material that has no sleeves. So their arms go through the sleeves and you zip them up. They work really well.

I find the two piece jammies better for spring/ summer, and easier for changing them at night. You can always put socks on their feet if you are worried about them getting cold.

My son was in pajamas with feet until a few months after his 2nd birthday.
I got them in Europe but Sears also had some.

Now, he sleeps with socks. I noticed that on the nights when he doesn't have socks, he wakes up earlier. But maybe just a coincidence!

My son is 3.5 and still wears footie pajamas, as does my 17 month old daughter, we get the best most comfy fuzzy carter's brand ones at costco for $7! We wear them year round here since our house is chilly at night and my kids sleep like floppy little fish and invariably end up with cold feet. I also put socks and well-fitting slippers on my daughter when she is sleeping w/o footie pajamas. Best of luck!

Usually once they outgrow footed pajamas, if the weather is still cold, you put them to bed with socks. There are still footed pajamas in bigger sizes, they are not one piece stretchy type jammies, they are the two piece kind that bigger kids wear.

hello mommy! its good for the baby to wear socks or booties. try to be creative. but if the baby isnt walking yet then she would probably only need socks when sleeping if your concerned about the cold. and it also depends on the temperature of your house or outside. some babies feet sweat also. which would make the feet cold or feel cold. also watch your baby if she takes her socks off often or kicks them off nine times out of ten she doesnt like anything on her feet. and thats another story. anyway blessings with the baby and yourself.

I had some from the Children's Place. Not the greatest quality but they got the job done.

If you can't find them based on some of the great suggestions here you can also add BabyLegs to her nighttime wardrobe. I used to put socks on mine, then the jammie bottoms and the the BabyLegs where it covered the bottom half of their foot and on up the legs.

See if there's a Carter's outlet near you. They make them with feet at least up to size 24 mos, if not bigger.

I'd say check Walmart or something like that. I have a 4 year old and a 19 month old and their pajamas both have feet. To be honest if they had my size I'd be wearing them too as they are warm and toasty.... :) Just keep looking. They do have them. Also, if it's really cold I'll put a onesie on underneath her footsie pajamas for extra warmth. Good luck!!!!!

During the Winter months most stores like Wal-Mart carry footed P. J.'s especially at Christmas. If you know someone who is in Winter you may be able to have them just go pick some up then mail them to you. When we got several of our pj sets, they were from Goodies, which is out of business now but were Carter's brand, you might google Carters toddler wear and see what you can find, perhaps on ebay.
