Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I guess the snaps on both sides would work. Yeah changing bibs every hour would work if I was home but the visible wet spot on a shirt has to act like a reminder to the sitters so I avoid bibs. His face would also not be red. For those reasons I hate having a job.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The shoulder snap shirts are the type of shirts we used when my daughter Jenna was banded. They worked great!!!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I believe I got most of them at Children's Place. They have really good sales. Do you have any near you? Angie Re: Open front Shirts Where did you get them? I feel like they have the ones that snap on one side or that are really wide with the fold over things but not both side snap? Octavian is also 20 lb so I need big ones.ThanksAna- > > >> > > Octavian drools alot and currently we only have cotton shirts > that > > > pull over his head.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 i've found that you can actually wriggle the side snap shirt up from the bottom (like you'd put on a skirt) so you don't have to pull over his head. what works best for us though has been the carter's " sleep and play " (or is it nap and play?) line. they are one-piecers, with legs (and sometimes feet) that just snap down the front. they look a bit like pjs, but they make life super easy. you can usually find some for around $7-$9 each on sale. here are a few links so you can see what i'm talking about ... http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3313/3248344319_c05003efd9_o.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3391/3244033101_f471dcf771.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3368/3204301244_215a57f555_o.jpghope that helps!hollymum to 8-month-old twins alex (in doc band since 1/05/09) and max (no helmet necessary) On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 10:56 AM, Angie P <apope04@...> wrote: I believe I got most of them at Children's Place.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 s is another brand that sells one piece outfits that snap/button up the front. They also sell two piece outfits (yoga type pants with cardigan style tops). Sorry if someone already mentioned this. I did not read all the responses. ____________________________________________________________ Click to get free auto insurance quotes from top companies.
