I usually change into something comfy for cleaning/cooking during naptime, then change back into the original outfit for afternoon activity. Except today, when I stayed in my PJs all afternoon =)

My youngest is now 2.5 and I'm down to one outfit per day unless I really misread the weather. I do peel layers off my top at this time of year, though. I wear jeans all the time. Shorts will come.....

+1. At the most, I would change a top if it got food or spit up on it. PPs must do a lot of laundry!

1 outfit a day since day 1. I've been at home 6 years, since I was pregnant with my first.

I change a lot too. I like to be somewhat casual dressy when we leave the house (jeans, cute tee, cardigan, ballet flats), but when I'm home I prefer the comfort of my yoga pants. If baby spits up on me, etc I just wipe it down with a wipe. Ill o my change my top for vomit or poo

It's not THAT hot out that you had to change into shorts, and if you weren't already changing to leave the house I think you would have been fine to leave on the jeans.

This. I don't need to wear fancy clothes to playgroup, and I aso don't need to change into ratty clothes when I'm home.

Not OP, but I change into an outfit when I go to playgroup or similar and then change into "ratty" clothes when I get home. I did this when I worked, too (business attire when I went to work and then changed into comfier/more casual clothes when I got home).

If you're looking to minimize outfit changes (as OP seems to be), why couldn't you just wear a casual/comfortable-but-not-ratty outfit all day? It's not the same as having to dress up for work.

Not the OP, but have to ask you - Why is the baby NOT eating peanut butter? Ped said to give it to my DS at his 6 month appt. I double checked with my allergist who said yes, too.

Why is your baby eating peanut butter?

I have a reflux baby so ALL the time, 4 or 5 outfits a day. Between the babies clothes and mine the laundry is never ending

I just throw on something that's not too ratty but can take abuse if I'm leaving the house that day and leave it on all day. The only time I would change is if I get something really gross on it or if I was really too hot. I have a pair of cargo pants that can be rolled up as it warms up, so those are good for changing temperatures.

I thought you were asking how often you change your baby's clothes.

I'm a newly minted SAHM, and it feels like I go through three or four outfit changes a day at least. For instance, this morning I was going to playgroup so I pulled on a good pair of jeans and a nice t-shirt. When I got home, I swapped the nice jeans for leggings. Then the baby threw peanut butter on my shirt so I had to change shirts. Then I had to go do pickup and after-school activities with my oldest, so I pulled on a pair of shorts because the weather had warmed up and because I don't like to wear leggings out of the house. When I get home, I'll probably swap the shorts for leggings again so I can finish cleaning/making dinner without worrying about messing up my clothes.

I feel like I'm constantly changing clothes and making extra laundry, which I hate. But I feel like the trade off would be to wear leggings and beat up tees all day, and I don't know if I am ready to go down that route. I still want to pay at least a modicum of attention to how I look...

What about you? Do you just pull on one outfit and leave it all day? Is this not normal?
