When you need it
Footed sleepers are useful from the first nights home, since they keep feet warm without socks that fall off. Most families use them until around 2 years, then switch to two-piece pajamas or sleepers without feet as toddlers begin walking around more.
What to look for
Look for a two-way zipper that makes nighttime diaper changes easier, plus a zipper guard at the chin. Soft, breathable fabric suits most homes, while fleece is better for cooler rooms. Non-slip soles help once your child stands and walks. Choose snug-fitting sleepwear as recommended, and dress your baby for the room temperature.
