I dreamed of little singlets, blindingly white, all lined up in a row with matching wooden pegs on the line. These tiny garments, embraced by the sun and smelling like the breeze, would keep my baby’s rounded body warm all day long.Welcome to reality.
Babies move. And babies get picked up.
No matter how well I tucked that singlet into Lex’s bottoms, it would continue to ride up, exposing his torso to the winter elements. Adjusting this and that all day long soon became a frustrating exercise, for both the babe and I.
So how could I stop the singlet’s bothersome habit?
Singlet onesies.
Singlet onesies are singlets which do up between the legs with press studs. They range in size from 00000 to 2, and can either be gauzy and lightweight for summer or heavier cotton for the cooler months.
Regular singlets can still be used effectively underneath all-in-ones. Although they do ride up during the course of the day, no little back or belly will be exposed. If you, like me, prefer to have everything tucked into place – and have it stay there – you might do without the humble regular singlet.
So if you share my dream of tiny singlets swaying in the breeze, anticipating your babe's arrival, make sure they’re singlet onesies!
