Dear children’s clothes designer


TLDRSleep deprived dad rants. Don’t use poppers or zips down one side of the onsie. Babies move about a lot. Shits hard.Edit dear childless clothes designers. I’m calling you childless because if you ever had a child you would have some sort of knowledge what it’s like to put clothes on a baby that is learning to roll over / crawl / just likes to wriggle.So please will you stop with the poppers or zips that go down the one side of the body? Do you know how difficult it is to get a baby into that when they are doing it’s best impression of a monkey on its back trying to scramble for a banana?I get it you want to be different you don’t want your clothes to be the same as the ones you where in as a baby.But guess what ? They work they are functional. Poppers down the middle and split at the waist then down each leg much easier!On a regular basis it looks like I’m trying to put my baby in a wrestling submission move as they try to escape and reverse the figure four into a Boston crab.Now add to that, one leg opening is not the same size as the other because the poppers are down one side of the body meaning I have to manipulate limbs in such a way I would probably be seen as an illegal hold and I’m losing this wrestling match.Also whilst I’m sleep deprived can you also stop putting shirt style buttons on onesies. Just fucking stop.Oh we have this lovely rainbow onesie. Bloody cute as hell on the baby. But guess what. It’s buttons not poppers and better still they are across the leg area.Have you ever had a surprise shit that’s leaked out and it’s half way up the back and you have to change a baby post haste? Guess what. Buttons only along the legs means it’s an even messier job because baby can’t be lifted away from the shitaster. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2DzbJzP
