❄️ Winter is here (well kind of - it is Brisbane 😂) ❄️
So what’s the deal with footed onesies?
Well if they are too tight, they can affect your baby’s circulation (and they already have an immature system).
They can also activate a baby’s stepping reflex which makes it harder to achieve that optimal or ‘M’ position. Basically it looks like a lot of planking and leg straightening 🤦🏻♀️
If you are using a woven wrap or ring sling, it can also mean that they pop their seat!
So what are your options? 👇🏻
1. Keep rocking the onesies but go up a size AND/OR pull fabric from thighs to toes to create more space.
2. Change or choose non-footed onesies. This also allows you to monitor circulation.
3. Choose pants and socks for warmth.
And most importantly, enjoy those babywearing snuggles 🥰
