Who Designs Baby Clothes?
I would love to know who is in charge of designing some of the clothes that are sold for my infant. Do these people have kids? How about a little market research before mass producing a line of clothing that is designed to make my life more difficult?
One of my major complaints is an item I received as a gift for my son. It is really cute but has a fatal flaw. It is designed as a pair of PJs but I discovered recently that it doesn’t button all the way down the front like a normal pair of baby pajamas. Instead there are three decorative buttons on top and snaps by the legs for diaper changes.
The problem with this is that when my son inevitably poops/pees on these pajamas I have to pull them up over his head in order to get them off. There is something about dragging the poop covered pjs up over his head that seems so wrong. To make matters more annoying the pjs have a collar. Very cute but totally in the way every time I have to nurse him.
Just what I needed to go with my infant - more pointless complication in my life! How about some product testing? I would be happy to do it for free and report findings before more moms are plagued by ridiculous “wardrobe malfunctions.”
