Like the stretchies that have the snaps that close in back ( as opposed to the bottom).
How am I supposed to change baby's daiper? I got an adorable stretchie as a gift and every time my baby wears it, I get so annoyed at it lol!

It's annoying when it's skimpy. But I really like them, IMO it's more dressy.

I love that. It's so much easier to change the diaper. Pull baby's legs out, then put them back in. Less snaps so less fumbling. (You need to have the right size, it can't be super fitted )

I actually liked that style better and I always found it easier .

Right I also found them way easier than the ones with snaps on bottom! I only bought those and didn’t enjoy the gifts with snaps on bottom. Go figure!

I do like it! No popping snaps every time baby kicks legs! So much neater and less snaps too!

Haha I live the double zipper that you van open either from the top to change their clothes or from the bottom to change their diaper

My "thing I never got" is the Doona. I know it's a hot topic... I have one and hate it. It's super heavy. Lifting it in and out of the car is a pain, and my baby wakes up when I take it out/put it in/collapse it from stroller to car seat. My back and knees hurt from using it every day.

I'm scared to use clothing with zippers on a baby. It's very easy for their skin to get stuck in the zipper.

Love love love my Doona!
I travel a lot now in the summer, and my baby sleeps through getting in and out of car.
Perfect for a little baby in the house too! Super convenient for me

Lol, I'm reading your post while trying it out on my baby....
The stretchie is a little big on her, and yet, the only way to get her legs in and out is by bending them all the way and lifting them awkwardly...
Oh well Can't Believe It

Certain brands or fabrics are like that. It's such a pain to put on.

The good thing about those is that it forces you to give your baby tummy time when you do the back snaps. That said, I'm all about zipper stretchies, the best.

Of course. I wouldn't buy a skimpy one.. But regular fit, I like it better. That's it's more dressy is a bonus.

I hate zipper stretchiest. You practically strip the whole baby just for a wet diaper.
The thing with the snaps along the bottom is that you have to match those snaps when closing. So many times I'm in a rush or whatever and find that I mismatched the snap, leaving a hole.
I love the stretchiest with snaps on the back. E snaps, easy match, just "bottoms off". (My ob/gym said that and it stuck.)

I tried getting a shabbos outfit that was one piece from Amazon. It's going right back. No wonder it was under $7... There are NO snaps. You have to put it on like a jumpsuit and button it on top. Which means you need to take the whole thing off for each diaper and climb it back on the baby afterwards. Too bad it was cute... So I feel sad returning it!
