[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unclench and realize it doesn’t matter.

I was the opposite of your wife (although not at 3.5 weeks - baby was early September and it was hotter than it is now, so she was usually in a onesie for her first month).  I, very irrationally, didn’t like her wearing “pajamas” during the day, so I usually dressed her in a onesie and pants, even if we were staying home.  And they had to coordinate.  But I also got dressed every morning. I needed the routine for my sanity.

And I STILL think this isn’t a battle worth fighting, OP.  Let it go.  Or tell your mom to let it go, and then when she doesn’t, keep telling her to let it go and don’t pass her complaints on to your wife.  Because even if you aren’t telling your wife it’s coming from your mom, she knows it is.

+1  I also dressed my babies in pants for the most part because I felt they were easier for me but this is so not a battle you need to fight.  When you’re changing the baby into a fresh outfit, put them in whatever you like and let your wife do the same.

I will also add that babies are really different shapes and thus different types/brands of clothing fit differently.  The reason cotton knit is so popular is because it’s stretchy and a bit more flexible.  We definitely received some woven/non-cotton gift clothing that my kids never fit into just because of proportions.  Don’t stress about having to use every gift you get, especially of newborn clothing.[/quote]
