Hi, I was just told by someone that those pj's that have the feet in them are not good for babies.
What happens is that no matter how big the actual 'foot' part is, it seems that the baby is always having to curl up his toes...since sitting and holding him in arms tends to pull up on the legs of the pj's and then the toes are squished up.

Apparantly this study was done and it says that wearing these pj's affect the ability of the child to walk properly, or causes delayed walking because of the habit of having to curl up the toes.

Has anyone heard about this?
Thanks.
Susie.

I've had 5 kids in "feeties". They have no walking problems and I have never heard of this story. I am sure that if there was a problem, then this type of Pjs would be immediately pulled from the market.

Wow. I would really like to actually see the study and assess the validity.

PJ's with feet have been around forever and I have never heard of that problem. My husbands dad is a podiatrist and hasn't heard of that either.

the only thing i have heard relavent to this story is when they wear them they cant practice crawling up to the full potential because they cant extend their kegs all the way, but my son is 6 months wears them and hes starting to get into the crawling stage.
