Onesies....
I have lots of onesies, but none that are short so that they don't touch the umbilical cord. Is it necessary to use those in the beginning?

Re: Onesies....
Are you talking about the ones that button between the legs or the side snap shirts? I am going to use the side snap shirts until her cord stump falls off

Re: Onesies....
No. I never had the side snap shirts or the onesies with the hole by the cord stump. TOTALLY not necessary!

Re: Onesies....
one of my friends said that for the newborns and very young ones, side snap shirts worked much better than onesies.

Re: Onesies....
I just used regular crotch snap onsies for DD. It was fine and didn't irritate her cord at all.
I really think the whole "special clothing" and diapers for cord care is totally a marketing scheme.

Agreed, I know it was not necessary for DS, they just tell you to be careful of the diaper in the begining.

Re: Onesies....
I prefer the side snap shirts but they aren't a necessity. I just like them for at home because I just hate onesies.

Re: Onesies....
I didn't like the shirts my friend used. They always seemed to ride up. I used regular onsies and hers didn't fall off until she was almost 3 weeks old!

Re: Onesies....
I don't think it matters , but I will say the side snap ones are easier to put on a NB , I was so scared pulling the shirts over DS 's head, I used the side snap ones for a few weeks till I felt more comfy with him.

Re: Onesies....
I asked at Lamaze and they said as long as the onesie is a lttle loose that you don't need the short ones, a regular one will do!

Re: Onesies....
I believe they are called "Lap shoulder t-shirts"..from what I remember...I don't think it is necessary...you could buy a couple if you like..but the onesies will not interfere with the cord...

Re: Onesies....
Kaydyn lived in onesies the first 3 months of her life. They did not interfere with the umbilical cord at all. If it would make you feel better to get them, then pick up a few, but they are not necessary in terms of the umbilical cord.

Re: Onesies....
DD was in a tshirt in the NICU and then in onesies after she came home and there wasn't a problem. Her umbilical cord fell off a few days after she came home from the hospital.
