What are onesies? There's a citywide baby shower for evacuees

[Rowdyboy]

of Katrina and they're asking for donations of, among other things, "onesies". What on God's green earth are onesies?

on edit: Now that you guys have reminded me of these things, I remember that I have a 50 year old pair of mine that my mother saved until she died.

Thanks to all who responded!

1. There are like one piece undershirts which snap between the baby's legs.

edit to add - they look like this



Babies can wear them alone when it is hot out or they wear them under their clothes when it gets colder.

7. Gotcha....

Thanks. I know what those things are, I just didn't know they were called "onesies"

[Broken_Hero]

10. Ha, ditto, good response!

2. one-piece t-shirt that snaps at the crotch

[Rowdyboy]

9. Thanks for the image

I remember fastening hundreds of them on younger siblings. Just didn't know what they were called.

3. They are baby outfits that are one-piece.

They typically have snaps down by the legs and crotch, so you can open them up to change diapers, without taking the whole thing off.

You can get them in multi-packs, usually cheap.

The best thing for babies!

4. They are really inexpensive too

You should be able to pick up a pack of them at any sort of a variety store like Target. They come 2 or 3 to a pack, depending on the brand. Should run about $5 or $6.

5. #1 (above)

They are very useful for infants

6. Onesies

It is a little tee shirt type outfit that snaps between the legs of the baby. It is very comfy and my kids lived in them when they were babies.

8. Get cute ones

Ones with the little ducks are especially cute and can be used for both sexes.
Don't just get plain ones.:silly:

[agates]

14. Cute ones are nice

but plain white ones can be bleached if needed. Ah I remember those days with my own little ones.

16. I tie-dyed one for my 7 month old :-)

It "matches" mommy's tie-dye :-)

11. Mommy sigh... I miss onesie days... :) n/t

12. What a great idea - what city?

I just love this idea. Although it brings tears to my eyes.

[Rowdyboy]

17. Jackson, Mississippi.....They're collecting lots of things for the moms

and advertising on the evening news several times every night.

My partner teaches and 1/2 of his students have relatives from the coast staying with them so we have a pretty sserious number of evacuees.

It is a really cool idea. I'm not sure what I'll take yet but the "onesies" sound good...

19. Towels and washclothes are good, non-skid socks

regular undershirts, pull on pants (neutral colors), baby hats, baby sunscreen, baby bathtubs. If you get something like socks, get multiple pairs that are all the same color, so if they lose some, they can still make pairs. Booties. Pacifiers, baby powder, Desenex, and baby wipes. I think formula is good too; it's expensive so is probably appreciated.

13. We've got loads, in good shape and we know they are needed

were do we send them?

[Rowdyboy]

18. This particular event is in Jackson Mississippi....Give me 5 minutes to

get the location from the stations website

That would be incredible!

[Rowdyboy]

20. Can't find it on their website but I'm taping the 6:00pm local news and

they'll repeat the location. I'll get the info to you within 30 minutes.

[Rowdyboy]

23. Here's the info you asked for about the baby shower for evacuees...

They need everything imaginable. Address is:

Christ United Methodist Church
5301 Old Canton Road
Jackson, MS 39211

The lady who passed along the address, Barbie Bassett, is our local long-time weatherperson and is 6 months pregnant with her second child so she is really working hard for this. She's a real sweetheart..

Thanks for any help you can give.

25. Thanks!

15. My first baby gift

I am expecting my first baby - the first gift I received was a package of onesies. I citywide shower for the victims of the hurricane sounds like a really nice idea.

21. Organic onesies!!

check out http://www.gaiam.com (was 7th generation) for organic onesies. These little babies have been exposed to enough already - they don't need the formaldehyde that is in the regular onesies they sell.
They are pricey but a real gift for babies whose skin is already irritated.

[Rowdyboy]

22. What a really neat idea!

Thanks!

[Bouncy Ball]

24. Ah, onesies.

Those were the days.

Wistful sigh.

There is nothing in the world like a freshly bathed baby dressed in a clean diaper and a onesie. You just want to eat them.

Then when they're older, you wish you had.

:rofl:

[soup]

26. Got that right.

relating and :rofl:

27. I vote for onesies with words... "Bush makes me cry" or

"Bush makes me poop" are available on Cafepress, along with many others. Either would be a fine addition to a little baby's wardrobe. ;)
