Is a onesie an outfit?

So please, please share this opinion in real life so I know to avoid you nutjobs.

Yes! And ITA with the other PP: don't hide the chubby baby thighs when you don't need to! Plus, wrestling my chubby babies into complete unnecessary shorts? Why not a shirt and tie? Maybe high heels for baby girls?

They actually make the baby high heels. Disturbing, I know.

I personally always went outside the house with DD in pants/a skirt over a onesie, but I don't think twice or judge when I see onesies-only out in public.

One thing we can all agree on? Keep your opinions to yourself, MIL!

Omg, some of you people are so uptight, it's unreal! It's adorably fine, OP. Your MIL can suck an egg.

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.

You sound like a mental case.

Lazy, I could see. A mental case, that's a stretch.

Lazy, sure. Mental case? Really, now.

Whelp, now that I've accidentally responded twice, I guess that mental case hypothesis can be confirmed.

Firmly in the onesie camp here- my baby only wore onesies all summer. He wore shorts a handful of times but only because I wanted him to wear those outfits before he outgrew them. People need to calm down. They're BABIES!

My son went through a phase at age 2 where he took his shirt off all the time.
It was especially bad because we are very Italian and it was during the height of popularity of Jersey Shore and he looked like a little guido. All he needed was a Sicilian horn on a chain.

So, count me in on the people who think it's not a big deal, they're kids.

This is too funny!

Yes, a onsie is an outfit for a baby in the summer. But not for an adult.

Do you wear a diaper and a bib? If not, why do you subject a baby to something that you wouldn't wear?

As I mentioned earlier I've at times been known to wear a bib since I'm a messy eater and post pregnancy...well I needed and adult diaper for a day... In all seriousness, like I said, to each their own. I just prefer to dress my child in a full outfit. Not adult clothes by any means. Age appropriate baby clothes. I know I'm not typical, but I grew up that way, I get a ton of pleasure out of it and it doesn't bother my child at all. Not sure what the issue is.

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.

Not the op on the comment ...I actually like snap pjs better. But I don't think it's that it is that hard to dress a baby...
