Baby Sock

Question: Has anyone found any baby socks that stay on?

I seem to be forever putting socks back on! UK shops please!

I have not found any that stay on but i put a pair of slippers on my son over his socks and that keeps them on. they are like booties and tighten with a velcro strap. i got these in tescos, hope this helps

They say socks from BabyGAP stay on better, but not in our experience. Try baby tights. M &S and John Lewis do them. They 're better cause they keep the legs warm and they don 't come off. Yay! The only down side is when it comes to changing nappies - they 're a bit more hassle but at least you 're not continuously putting socks back on.

Ah the eternal question lol. I don 't think it will ever be answered...

Do you have an old navy or a gap store there? there baby socks fit great and don 't fall off that easy.

I would use tights instead- you can buy navy ones and i used to put those under my son 's trousers and dungarees

Funny I can never find a pair that seem to fit me.

I found some at Target that seem to stay on better than most. I have some from Baby Gap, but they seem too tight leaving red marks on his fat little legs. I 'm thinking duct tape :)

I just put shoes that tie over the socks. At night we use footed sleepers

LOL. Nope! No such thing! I eventually gave up, my daughter seemed happier without them on anyway!

Socks never stay on try tights much better and if it 's for a boy so what no ones gonna notice he 's got tights on under his trouser good luck!!

Lol, no and i don 't think you will, for some reason it seems impossible, i tend to buy socks with an elasticated top for my daughter this seems to help.

Socks under tights works (really warm tooties in this weather!!)

I don 't know if you have Old Navy over there or not. They had the best baby socks that I found.

Tight is what your baby needs!...as it 's winter that will keep him/ her warm too!

You don 't want the socks to be tight, trust me, it can cause skin problems. This is what happened to me: preoptimism.blogdrive.com/ archive/ 3.html The best for keeping feet warm is baby booties that have a string or elastic around the ankle, which shouldn 't be tight, just tight enough not to fall off. Leg warmers are good to keep the legs/ ankles warm. Or just use footed pjs.

I 'm in US, but I always used ones from Wal-mart and never had any problems.

Ethel austin - cheap too!

The only ones that will stay on my kids ' feet are made by Carter 's. They have a band that keeps them on.

I thought GAP socks stayed on better but still came off fairly easily. I tried the leather Daisy Boot shoes over the top and they worked brilliantly - even when crawling. Good luck.

No!! I have tried Boots, Mothercare, Next & Asda but to no avail! My daughter cannot keep her socks on at all!! A friend of mine bought her some tiny pink adidas pram shoes and I have to put those on her, even in the house to keep the socks on!! She also has some white fluffy bootees from Next that I thought might help the cause, but they come off too!
