there seems to be a bit of a shortage of pink ones around at the moment, but im sure if you google you would be able to find some xx

i saw these in babies r us the other day and did think whats the point ?? ahh now i know, might try and see how i get on if not ill have to get the footless ones and put socks on (altho finding socks to fit her skinny ankles is another challenge lol)

ah ha! 'sock ons' are the perfect solution for that! they work magic those little things!

sock ons: http://www.sockons.co.uk/

maddi has always been a very tall, slim baby, so for her sleep suits, i used to go for footless one's with gap socks, as they were the only socks i could get to stay on!
i found she went through stages, i sleepsuits would fit for a while, then she'd get taller and they wouldn't fit well again, then she'd fill out the next size up if that makes sense!

since she one a year, we switched to pj's as they solve the problem - so she wears atm long sleeved vest, pjs and socks to bed

Im liking the look of these socks on thingys!Matthews got the same problem and i've found sainsbury's and mothercare seems to be longer in the legs with next not far behind!

With DS, i found that next, mothercare, debenhams and marks n spencers were ridiculously short in the leg. I found the only ones that came up to scratch and lasted long enough were woolworths. DS is massive

He's only 7 and wears size 9-10 clothes coz he is soooooo long. he was always above the height percentile chart and he is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay taller than anyone in his class and some people older than him. But if i buy him clothes from woolworths, i only have to buy 7-8 years old

Wish all shops were as generous with their material when making the clothes but they are more interested in making money out of us mums

I find the John Lewis baby grows are very generous in the leg.
