Is a onesie an outfit?

I live in a Midwestern college town, and while I don't have photos, I can attest to the fact that we were overfill with young ladies in shortie jumpers (grown-up onesies) at the beginning of the semester. Usually paired with big sunglasses, a hat, an armful of bangles, and Minnetonkas. They look absolutely ridiculous. |

where would one even buy such a thing?^^
what about terry cloth sleepers in colder weather? are those considered an outfit or just pajamas? can i take a 6 month old out dressed like that? (with appropriate outerwear of course) |

PP is talking about rompers, not onesies. My college aged nieces had a few -- they're not tight at the bottom like onesies, they have short little shorts attached. Like so: http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=Jumpsuit_Romper&ProductID=2000154490&VariantID= |

If it was more than a plain onesie they left the house in it. Plain colored onesie, I usually added pants or shorts. I don't know why. Maybe because my oldest is 25, and onesies were considered underwear when he was born. They were under shirts.
I wouldn't think twice about another baby in a onesie though. |

| Why must babies have pants once crawling? My kid gets along fine, pants or no pants. Half the time, she gets up off the changing mat and crawls away before I can get the damn pants on her and forces me to wrestle her while screaming if I absolutely must fully clothe her (if it's chilly outside and we're leaving the house). Seriously, not freaking worth it. |

At home anything goes - just a diaper, a onesie...
But out and about we would throw a one piece outfit or pants on. I would think that's more comfortable while in a stroller or carseat anyway. I wouldn't blink at seeing a baby in a onesie though. |

Hahhaha me too! The mommy wars have reached a new low -- the just a onesie crowd vs those who think a full outfit is needed to preserve the baby's decency. My June baby was in a onesie all the time, it was too hot out for anything else! Now that it's colder out he spends most of his days in footie pjs. Occasionally I put him in a cute outfit for an putting with friends/family. I had no idea anyone would actually judge what babies wear?! |

| My son wire onesies without pants for most of his first summer (age 4 months thru 7 mos). So did most of the other babies at daycare. |

| My April baby wore a lot of little cotton 1piece shorts rompers his first summer. I thought of onesies as an undershirt, so used them more in cooler months. no judgment, just personal preference. |

My MIL was surprised by the same. It's generational. But as you say it's also OBE! |

I look at babies in pants, socks, etc. and think what a nightmare to dress and change. Mine wore zip up pjs for the first year. So easy. |

| Oh, well, I'll sit over with the lazy, disgusting moms. We didn't do onesies and rarely pants because we did EC (although they would be just as big a pain for diaper changes). My kid was literally in her underwear for most of the time until over a year. Granted they were really cute cloth (colored/patterned) diapers that sorta looked like shorts, and her legs were covered with baby legwarmers, but still. If it was cold, snuggly play suit on top. If it was something where I cared, dress. Otherwise, oh, well. |
