Get answers on sizing, the two-way zipper, and washing your baby's Football Stripe footie so it stays soft and game-day ready.
Quick answer
Choose the size that matches your baby's current length and weight, use the two-way zipper from the bottom for diaper changes, and wash cold on a gentle cycle, then lay flat to dry.
Why the two-way zipper changes diaper changes
A two-way zipper lets you open the footie from the ankle up, so you can change a diaper without exposing your baby's chest or arms to cool air. That matters most during night changes and on chilly game days. The zipper still runs the full length, so you can also open it completely for dressing.
What the fabric means for fit and washing
This footie is made from viscose from bamboo, which is soft, breathable, and stretchy. That stretch gives some forgiveness in fit, but it also means the fabric can relax with wear. Wash it gently and avoid high heat to help it keep its shape.
Fit and care questions answered
- How should I choose the size?
- Use your baby's current length and weight against the size chart. Because the bamboo blend is stretchy, the footie will give a little, but it won't shrink to fit a smaller baby. If your baby is between sizes, pick the larger size for more room in the feet. Measure before you order, especially if your baby is long in the torso or feet.
- Will the two-way zipper irritate my baby's skin?
- The zipper runs along the front, so it sits away from the back and sides where your baby lies down. Fasten the zipper pull to the top or bottom before dressing to keep it from rubbing. A close fit helps, too, so the fabric stays between the zipper and skin.
- How do I wash the footie without damaging the zipper?
- Close the zipper completely before washing. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, and avoid fabric softener because it can coat the bamboo fibers. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry; high heat can shrink the fabric and warp the zipper tape. A mesh laundry bag adds extra protection for the zipper pull.
- Can I use the footie for sleep and for game-day outings?
- Yes. The breathable bamboo blend makes it comfortable for sleep, and the football stripe print suits watch parties and fall weekends. For cooler outdoor game days, layer a jacket or blanket over it; the footie itself is a single layer.
- What if the footie feels tight in the feet?
- The stretchy fabric should allow room to move, but if the feet look compressed or leave red marks, size up. The two-way zipper lets you open the ankle area for a quick check without undressing your baby. Check for red marks after an hour of wear.
