Leaving clothes on all the time? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

maxs_momma · 02-16-2008, 06:42 AM

Does anyone leave clothes on their baby when they leave or at night when they sleep? Sam has to wear a shirt during the day because he gets cold very easy. But i take it off of him at night before he goes into his kennel because i am afraid he might get it caught and shoke himself. Does anyone else who has their babies wearing clothes during the day take them off at night? I have just heard stories of babies dieng because their collar got stuck on something and with the shirts i am scared that it could happen just the same or am i just being paranoid

?

Hugs

We live in Arizona, they do not wear clothes in the summer, but in the winter they are dressed all the time.

We also dress them when we go out in public places in the summer because stores are SO freezing that they shiver!

My boys wear their shirts and vests during the day...At bedtime, they were jammies if it is cold....Otherwise, they sleep al natural

I am seriously thinking about getting that disc that you heat up in the microwave....Then they would have the option of sleeping on it or next to it should they desire to....I think you can even get a little stuffed animal to put the disk in to snuggle up with????

Tink is always dressed. She loves her clothes.

When she is in her crate and I'm not home, I take her collar off so she can't get it caught. She only wears her collar to hold the ID and rabies tags anyway - and so I can hear them clinking and know where she is.

So you all think it would be alright for Sam to wear his clothes to bed i was just scared because i was afraid the shirt collar might get caught and choke him he never wears a regular collar i put his tags on his harness

My girls are dressed every day during the winter. They wear mostly sweaters and have no problem getting out of them if they want, so I don't worry if I leave them. But, they are never alone for more than an hour and they have free reign of the upstairs office.

At night, they wear nighties, but they sleep in bed with us. I might worry if they were in a crate.

That was my fear because until hubby gets the bed finished (builds it yorkie friendly) he sleeps in a crate i think i will just keep doing what i am doing and that is take his clothes off at night because i put a blanket over his crate and put the crate under our ceiling heat vent and he seems to stay really warm i know i goofed the first night i started crating him and didn't put the blanket over the crate and he woke me up barking because he was hot i went in to check on him and the little guy was sitting there panting

We leave Jasmine's clothes on at night. We used to put her in a crate at night, and she did fine, but we just decided to leave her in her pet bed (she never leaves that thing) and to just leave the bedroom door open for her to come in and sleep on the pillows. But when she was in her crate at night she did fine during the night.

PrincessDiana · 02-16-2008, 08:46 AM

I usually let Franklin wear his PJs or a sweater at night because that's when it's the coldest, especially downstairs. I don't worry about him choking or anything, I think he can get out of them by himself if he wants to. Maybe I should be more careful but that was kind of the whole point of buying him clothes.

maxs_momma · 02-16-2008, 10:19 AM

I guess i am just to much of a worry wart

chachi · 02-16-2008, 10:32 AM

We always take the clothes off when they go to bed at night

Conner wears a little shirt all the time in the winter. He sleeps in our bed and during the day he is in his large cage that holds his bed, water, food and toys. As I work part time, he is not in there long, but it is his favorite place to be when he knows we are not going to be home. I think because it is smaller than being in a room alone. He has nothing that his shirt can hang up on, and we usually tucker him out so much before we leave that he sleeps while we are gone.
