Warm Pajamas for Baby Boy

Let’s be real: You’ll do anything to help your baby sleep better (and get more rest yourself).

The first step in making that happen is dressing your little one in comfy pajamas—not too cold, not too hot and never scratchy—so they’re relaxed and ready for a long snooze (hopefully!).

Do newborns need pajamas?

Actually, many babies don’t sleep in pajamas until four to six months old. That’s because newborns require more middle-of-the-night diaper changes. Dressing your newborn in a one-piece bodysuit (the ones that look like undershirts with snap buttons in the diaper area) and then wrapping your child in a swaddle or a wearable blanket for warmth makes for quicker diaper changes.

If your baby doesn’t like to be swaddled, or you live in a colder climate, you can also dress baby in gowns when they’re newborns. These open at the bottom, so you can just pull the gown up, change the diaper and you’re done. No zippers or snaps.

When should you switch to pajamas? If your baby is moving more, rolling over or breaking out of their swaddle, it’s time to put them in some jammies.

What about flame-resistant warnings on baby pajamas?

The warnings found on children’s pajamas are a bit scary, but here’s the deal: children’s pajamas are required by law either to be treated with fire-retardant chemicals (from size 9M upward) or to be tight fitting. Because the flame-resistant chemicals used on pajamas have been linked to increased hyperactivity and lowered IQ in children, we recommend buying only untreated, tight-fitting pajamas.

How to choose baby pajamas

There are a few things to consider when shopping for baby jammies:

  1. Fit. The most important thing when shopping for baby pajamas is to make sure there are no hoods or loose-fitting tops that could pose a suffocation hazard. And, as noted above, the pajamas should have a snug fit.
  2. Weather. Blankets in the crib are a big no-no because they could ride up over your baby’s face. Instead, opt for thicker pajamas, wearable blankets or sleep sacks to keep your baby warm and safe. During warmer seasons, dress your little one in lighter pajamas so they don’t get overheated. If baby is flushed or sweaty, they need fewer layers.
  3. Closure style. Baby pajamas come in lots of different styles, including one-pieces with snaps/buttons, zippers or magnets, two-piece separates and gowns with openings at the feet. When considering any set of PJs, you’ll want to think about how you’ll access baby’s diaper for those middle-of-the-night changes and what’s quickest and easiest to deal with when you’re sleep-deprived at 2 a.m.

A gown is a great addition to baby’s nighttime wardrobe, especially during those first few months when you want something super quick and easy for frequent diaper changes. Babies can sometimes need multiple changes in the middle of the night, and zipping or buttoning footie pajamas can get old when you’re running on four hours of sleep (or fewer). Since gowns are open at the bottom, you can just slip the fabric up over baby’s legs and bottom, change the diaper, then slip the fabric back down. Easy peasy.

This four-pack of simple gowns from Gerber gets you more clothes per dollar, and parents love that these gowns have foldover mittens. If you’re looking for an organic option, Gerber also makes these gowns in organic cotton.

Gowns are perfect for easy access during diaper changes, but an open bottom can sometimes equal chilly toes. If your baby is prone to getting cold feet, a gown with a knotted bottom can come in handy. There are no snaps, zippers or buttons on the bottom, so changing a diaper is still just as easy as with a regular gown; just undo the knot real quick (you can make it as tight or as loose as you want) and pull the gown up. And when you’re done, closing it up is easier than tying your shoe. But our favorite thing about these types of gowns: there’s extra room for baby to grow.

The knotted gowns from Copper Pearl also feature snaps along the side so you can get baby dressed and undressed quickly (no tugging clothes over their head like with traditional gowns), and foldover mittens to keep little hands warm.

A two-piece PJ set might be more your baby’s speed if you live somewhere with variable weather within the same season. Warmer weather might call for just a shirt and diaper, but put baby in both the shirt and the pants when the weather gets colder. The soft, lightweight TENCEL Modal fabric is a plus, too; made sustainably from Austrian beechwood trees, the fabric is easy to fall in love with, so definitely check out Solly Baby’s other options like their gowns and swaddle blankets.
