| No. We have half of his pjs with just pants and a top and the other half are all in one sleep suits. Daniel doesn't really like going to bed with socks on. He packs a right tanty about it during the day. His feet are never cold in his bed so why bother? |

I do. S is quite tall so the sleep suits with feet don't work for us. He wears a footless all in one with socks on 
There is usually at least one sock still on when I get him up in the morning!

| No, but early on she wore those all in one sleepsuits anyway so there was something to cover the feet anyway. When she grew out of those I figured I don't like sleeping in socks cause they can get too hot so she could be the same? |

| Jack has socks and a sleepsuit and hasn't complained yet. It's mainly cos somehow he always managed to get a grip on the sheets without socks on and pulls them off whereas with socks he doesn't. (Even with a sleepsuit on) |

T wears AIOs and socks underneath them that is mostly because he crawls around the bed during the night and never stays under the covers, without socks he wakes up with cold tootsies ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I guess I was wondering if I was the only one
Coop has socks everynight. He's in a go go bag too. I just figured he's not in AIO anymore, pjs instead and his little feet might get chilly ------------- http://lilypie.com">

no- it never actually occured to me this winter. when she was a newborn when it was really cold she wore socks, but this winter I haven't bothered. I figured that I don't like sleeping with socks on so why should she, also her room temp is always 18 so it is nice and warm. ------------- Mum to Ella (5) and Tom (2) |

I did socks on cold nights up to around 8mos old. Not usually in bed with AIO and socks, but certainly for going out in the cold i would do that. But we don't have heaters in the bedrooms here either. ------------- |

Yup we are socks people. Tonight Phoenix has socks on, and AIO and he is swaddled (light swaddle). If he isn't swaddled, he is in his merino mokopuna sack. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I put socks on Jett as he always gets out from under his blankets, and in winter his feet turn to blocks of ice if he's not wearing socks (even with the oil heater on in his room). If he's in an AIO I don't, except if it's a thin cotton one.
I don't put R & G to bed with socks though. I have a thing about wearing socks to bed, my dad always said your feet need to "air". ------------- My babies: R (9),G (7), J (5) http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Both kids have always had sockies on during winter, both underneath the AIOs and if we didn't have AIOs with feet i would use their stockings, which was great actually as the socks didn't fall off and their legs were even toastier.
Ayja still has to use the polar-fleece sleep suits cos she never stays in her blankets. They both still have bedsocks, Ayja's are some neat knee-high ones mum bought for Paris, they are ladybird ones and are good cos they don't fall off even with her crazy night-movements. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

I put socks on Emma. I used to do the same for Gina but now she's sleeping in a sleeping bag and I figure that's warm enough. Her tootsies are always warm in the morning when I check ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

In the warmer months I didn't bother, but now that it's cold Chloe sleeps with socks and a short-sleeved/short-legged sleepsuit thing underneath her onesie (the onesie has feet on it but I put socks on as well). ------------- Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years). |

I love wearing socks to bed, I had never thought of not putting them in socks. Maddi is still in AIO's with socks underneath and Keiras always worn socks (except maybe on really hot nights) cos she usually ends up out of her blankets and i dont like the thought of her feet being cold. -------------
