Baby Pants - What Type of Baby Pants Are Right For Your Baby?

The first few months of your baby’s life are a lot of fun, but they also include lots of diaper changes. Whether you choose to use cloth diapers or disposables, they’re still quite a hassle for the parent and baby. Some parents find that using diaper pants makes changing their rascals much easier. But if you’re not sure if diaper pants are right for your family, try alternating between them and regular diapers for a while to get a feel for what works best for everyone.

When it comes to baby clothes, there are tons of options that come in a wide variety of styles and materials. The key is finding a fabric that’s comfortable for your baby to wear, fits well, and keeps them warm. You should also consider how easy it is to dress your squirmy little one when you’re trying to put on their pants or shirt.

Footed Baby Pants
You might not be familiar with the term “footie jammies,” but they’re a must-have for your newborn! These soft and comfy pants are a great way to help your little one stay cozy, and they’re super easy to make yourself. They’re especially useful during winter, as merino wool is naturally odor-resistant, warm without being too hot or sweaty, and helps your baby maintain their body temperature.

These pants are a great choice for cold weather and will keep your baby’s legs toasty warm while they’re crawling around, playing and exploring the world around them. Plus, they look adorable on any little one!

The pattern for these footies is sized to fit newborns, from 6-10lbs (Hattie was just over 10lbs when I made them). They also make a fantastic DIY gift for any new or expecting mom.

Besides footies, there are also a lot of other types of baby pants you can try. For example, harem pants are loose and baggy like pajama bottoms but designed with your baby’s puffier rear end in mind. They’re a bit more dressy than footies, but they can still be worn with a diaper underneath for extra padding. And if you’re looking for something a little more unique, you can even try Maxaloones – they look similar to harem pants but are more stretchy with waistbands and ankle cuffs/bands that roll out over time so your baby can continue wearing them for years to come.

Baby overalls and rompers are another good option for dressing a cloth diapered baby because they’re usually roomier than other types of clothes. If you’re shopping for these items, it may be helpful to size up to allow for the extra bulk from a cloth diaper.

Choosing the right-sized clothes for your infant can be confusing because they are sized by age, and brand-specific differences in sizing often occur. In most cases, sizing up is the best solution – you’ll save money by buying larger sizes that your child can grow into and will have plenty of room to move and breathe while they’re wearing them.
