When we did Bee's layette the salesperson told me to get six sleeping gowns, so I did and I've been buying them ever since!

Sleeping gowns make nights so much easier. When Bee wakes up we can easily change her diaper. Just push up her gown, change her and pull the gown back down. There are no snaps or buttons to fuss with.

Once Bee reached three months she started outgrowing the gowns we got when she was born and I began the search for bigger sized gowns, which was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.

I went to Lester's in Manhattan and they had two that looked long but they were still sized as newborn. I then came across Granny Made on the Upper West Side and they had a great selection of patterns and I bought two more. But as Bee gets bigger and bigger it's harder for me to find gowns that fit her. (I also want them to look cute so finding a pattern I like is also hard.)

Several nights we've had to put Bee in footies and changing her at night was a nightmare. She doesn't want to stay still and it's dark and we're sleepy and she's crying and getting the snaps back together is not easy during the day, at night it's nearly impossible.

The gown featured here is by Kissy Kissy. We also purchased gowns by Coccoli and Lotus Spring.
