Toddler parenting tip #10: Make Pajamas Last a Little Longer

So it’s almost spring time and you’ve got lots of those one-piece, super warm PJs all stocked up from the winter. It’s still cold out, but your toddler is quickly filling out all the warm pajamas you have on hand.

You don’t want to buy all new ones, he’ll only use them for a month or so. You can’t put him in lighter PJs, he’ll be too chilly.

So how do you make the too-small sleepwear last just a little bit longer?

I found we could squeeze an extra month or two out of pajamas our son was getting too big for by cutting off the feet of his one-piece zip-ups. He’s not crammed into his clothes and they’re still plenty warm for winter sleeping.

Of course, this ruins any chance of passing down these clothes or donating them to a charity. You might just want to do it to a couple pairs. Keep or give away the rest and de-feet a handful of PJs so your baby can sleep comfortably while Jack Frost is still hanging around.
