One of the things that as a father I never understood is the design of many baby pajamas, totally Father Unfriendly, or what is the same: facts so that when you change your baby you wake up, complain, be upset and have to calm down or sleep again.
Now I tell you better, but if I catch you with little time stay with this advice: buy those that buckle and unleash ahead.
Babies have to sleep on their backs
On your back and with your head tilted, as recommended since back in 1992, it was concluded that it was the safest way to sleep, or the one that most decreased the risk of sudden infant death. So, if babies sleep on their backs, Why do they make pajamas with the buttons behind?
Because when they are awake then look, you turn it to one side or the other and ready, but at night, those nights when they wake up to eat and you can spend more than half an hour to get him to fall asleep again, the last thing you want is reveal it too much with the change of diaper, or wake it up when you see that it has pooped and is still asleep.
That has happened to me a lot of times: you hear the squeeze, the poop come out, and instead of complaining he's still asleep. For a moment you think about leaving it that way, but you tell yourself that "poor thing, your ass is going to look like a monkey and it's not worth it"; you prepare everything to change it and you realize that it takes that damn pajamas that is tied from behind and ends up closing in the area of the ass, above. This means that you have to make a strange maneuver to untie the pajamas from behind and an even more strange maneuver to get your legs down, leaving the leg of the pajamas ahead. Come on, it's a miracle if you don't wake up the baby.

I understand that they do not close so much, that they have more holes because they buckle for more places, and even that it takes them longer to put them when you dress them, but I have always adored (I would almost say "loved") those pajamas with buttons at the front whose opening follows up to the legs, to the feet.
You open while the little one sleeps, only by the legs and leave half exposed body without the little one almost knowing (not always, of course, sometimes they wake up to the minimum, but if it coincides that he is in that moment of deep sleep is a great gift).
We didn't discover these pajamas until the third child, in large part because with the second we took advantage of the first, and what do you want me to say, I would have kissed the designer, because more than one night I got sleeping changes, those diaper changes in which Guim did not wake up, after a moment of maximum tension, a drop of sweat on his forehead and to intervene almost asking your partner to pass you the utensils while he lights you with the flashlight of the mobile. You just lay down and you feel the king of the world.
And all because the pajamas clasp in front.
