Definition of a Fleece Sleeper

Fleece Sleeper

Babies typically spend a whole lot of time in their pajamas, sometimes all day long, so this is one article of clothing that should always be very comfortable for them to wear. Most parents quickly discover that a fleece sleeper is usually the best choice for a baby. Fleece sleepers come in several different styles. Some have feet, others are loose, open legged styles that are designed to be more appropriate for milder weather, and others are footless but have elastic or drawstring openings.
Most fleece sleepers will have snaps or fasten with zippers or even Velcro. Buttons are usually considered a no-no because of the potential choking hazard if they were to be pulled off and swallowed. You can also find fleece sleepers that are more of a sleeping bag style, without legs. These are often easier to use with newborns and tiny babies, as they will be far easier to get on and off when you aren’t trying to fit wiggly little legs into the right places.
Fleece makes a perfect material for pajamas and sleepers. It is soft against your baby’s sensitive skin, and will keep them plenty warm on cold nights. Fleece is a breathable material, so your baby won’t get overheated. Fleece sleepers are appropriate for any season, as well, since you can find a lightweight fleece sleeper that is more appropriate for warm weather, as well as a thicker fleece sleeper for chilly weather. Higher quality fleece materials won’t pill, and they are very durable for machine washing and drying.
