Why do they make footie zipped PJs up to 4t?

I didn’t with my first 2 but my 3rd has horrible eczema that he will scratch at all night if he can reach it. So we need the footie pajamas to keep him from digging into his ankles, stomach, chest, etc.

They were manageable when she was a baby and toddler but post-potty training they are awful.

Yet she’s obsessed and refuses to wear anything other than her footie zip up pajamas to bed.

She asks for more for birthdays and holidays and grandparent oblige.

I’ve tried hiding them. I’ve tried turning up the temp at night in hopes she gets too hot and sleeps in the cute short & t-shirt sets I’ve gotten her.

Nope. Footies every night. Constant potty issues. Either she can’t get out of them on her own, can’t get out of them fast enough, or half ass gets the bottom off and pees all over the legs (or they fall into the toilet). It’s like 2-3 nights a week.

I wish they stopped making them at 2T, because they are such a pain.

And no, we aren’t going to do pull-ups or restrict water before bed. She has no issues getting up to use the restroom and often needs water by her bedside for dry throat.

I just wish she’d wear normal pajamas.

So…just throw them away and get her normal pajamas? I’m failing to understand how this is the fault of Big Pajama when you control the pajamas in your house.

Tee hee. Big Pajama. Best post of the day!

PS - you’re a wimp, OP.

Agreed. OP, just take the pjs away. FCOL.

And not every (vast majority?) of toddlers are not in the 150th percentile.

I hate them too. People continue to give them to my 4 and 7 year olds, and I disappear them. I have something of a phobia of my son zipping his penis in them (witnessed my younger brother zip his in white baseball pants as a kid, haven’t gotten over it).
