Finding Babies and Kids’ Socks That Stay On?

Answer 1

Babies and kids can sometimes have a difficult time keeping their socks on their feet. It is especially difficult to keep socks on an infant that is not wearing shoes. There are some ways that parents can choose their babies and kids’ socks for better results.

Infant Socks

Socks that are designed for infants to wear are extremely small and can be hard to manage while the infant is squirming around. Infants generally do not like to wear socks, which makes it even more difficult. You can make it easier to keep socks on your infant by choosing socks that are more likely to stay on little feet. Do not buy socks that are loose fitting or extremely short. Infants have more success wearing socks that have strong elastic in the top and come up over the infant’s ankle and some of the way up his or her calf. The higher the sock goes up the leg, the less likely it will be pulled off by a wiggling infant.

Toddler Socks

Toddlers have a different problem with wearing socks. Their socks will stay on just fine as long as they are wearing a pair of shoes, but as soon as the shoes come off the socks come off too. A parent that wants to keep a toddler’s feet warm without putting them in shoes should find socks that are sturdy and close-fitting. Some toddlers enjoy having fun colors or cartoon characters on their socks, which keeps them from pulling the socks off if they generally do not like to wear socks.

Preschooler Socks

Preschool children are much easier when it comes to buying and wearing socks. You can find all sorts of socks to fit the style and personality of your preschool child. Many children like to wear bright colors and bold patterns on their socks because it is fun. A preschooler should be able to put on his or her own socks, which makes them much more interested in keeping the socks on while they are wearing them. Preschoolers also understand that socks will help keep their feet warm. That basic understanding will keep them wearing socks all day long.
