Feet - Cheyenne, WY

HI!
My sons both had really chubby feet, but were regular sized kids. I found footie pj's at the Disney store that have bigger feet and the body still fits normal. They just fit so much better. I hope you find some that work!!

How awesome that she doesn't like junk food, keep it that way as long as possible. I would cut the end out of her jammies and cut off the end of a sock and sew it into the jammies so her feet fit. Either that or go shopping and tell her there is no choice, she is becoming a big girl now and pick out some fun jammies that don't have feet in them.
Good luck,
SarahMM

I babysit a boy who is 4 years old, and his feet are an 11! I think some kids have bigger feet. As far as the feetie jammies, maybe you could cut the toes off, or get her the next size up.

omg.. you are totally describing my niece.
:)
i second the vitamin recs below... have you tried lands end's footie jammies? they have a slimmer fit (i get mine on the overstock page after christmas)... usually at decent discount. the "angel fleece" is really soft, my daughter & neice love them (and they have helpful phone people who can help with sizing & an exellent return policy.)

or alternatively, take your daughter out to buy some jammies... my niece was a fleece addict, but now like night gowns or the two peice flannel (top & pants)... they have such cute patterns (check the nick & nora ones at target)... perfect timing too with xmas coming sooner than i want to think about.

I had the exact situation--I cut the toes out of the jammies and sewed in the toes of old socks. With how fast her feet has grown I had plenty laying around. I'm not a sewer, do not own a machine (which would be easy) so mine are hand stiched and not that pretty--BUT work!

Have your talked to your doctor about Thyroid isues?

This might sound silly, but when I was little my mother couldn't afford to buy pjs very often, so when our feet got too big she would just cut the foot part off. That way we could continue to wear our pjs until they got too short. You could do this and have your children wear socks to keep their feet warm. Just a thought.

If it's bone pain, try increasing calcium intake to keep up with bone growth. And motrin or ibuprofen for the pain. If it's muscle pain (ie - gets better if you massage it) try upping her potassium to avoid leg cramps. Since she likes fruit, bananas are a good natural source of potassium (I eat them everyday to ward off leg cramps at night).
And as bizarre as it sounds -- is her one week a month of waking at night for hurt feet at all related to your monthly "visitor"? She's too young for a monthly cycle, but she is still female and does have female hormones which can do all kinds of things to you physically. I'm not sure about this, since you say your son is doing the same thing, but try to think back about when it happens.
Good luck to you!

She could have arch problems in her feet my son did the same thing he would wake up crying my feet hurt during the night so I bought shoes with arches in them they are hard to find but I just recently found a website that sells baby orthodics it is www.healthyfeetstore.com they worked wonders for my son :)

p.s. write me back if they work for you

My son will be 4 in January and he is in a size 10 so the size doesn't sound too large, maybe a tad for a girl but nothing I would think would be concerning. She could be getting the foot cramps when she gets them I would just be sure to increase water, calcium, potassium and give her some motrin. Maybe massage them like you would a let cramp.

I never thought that could be the reason my son has always hated footsie pjs. He is 5 and wears a size 1, barely. My daught is 2 and wears an 8. But, both of them are also very tall. I would either try to wean her out of footsies or cut the feet off and attach socks. There are lots of fun pjs she could wear. My kids love the kind with botton up shirts. If you buy some with her favorite characters, she just might go for wearing something else. My son hates pjs. But when I buy him some with Star Wars, Scooby Doo, or Lightening McQueen it is almost a guarentee that he will wear them.

As far as her feet hurting cold just be growing pains. ouch! Could also be charlie horses. I get them in my toes all the time because of my really high arches. You could give her some tylenol or ibuprofen. Also vitamins with calcium and potassium might be helpful, maybe better than pain meds. Help her walk or rub the pain out.

The only yhing i can think of is to undo the sewing at the end of the foot part and put socks on her feen so her feet stay worm

It's great that she loves to eat healthy stuff! Try getting her some fuzzy pjs and have her sleep in some socks or slippers. They make some really cute, soft and fuzzy socks anymore....maybe that will help. Plus, since she's 4, try getting her some princess pjs or nightgowns to help her transition out of the footie pjs. If she doesn't like princesses, try whatever she happens to like....there are all sorts out there! That way, if she has a fun new style, plus the socks or slippers, she'll still have the comfort she likes! Good luck!

My children both had problems with their feet being too big. You could get someone to make her footie Pj's. I could give you names of people or sights you can go to. Can you cut the sides of the elastic? I just stay away from footies and give my kids socks. Did you try the gerber footies that are wool? These worked for a time. Also, google footed pj's and go with a company that makes them. Call them directly and see if they make bigger ones, or if they can custom make.

You didn't mention, but do you have problems finding shoes? I use Pediped's. They are more pricey, but they come with inserts, so they actually last longer. I don't know if they will fit her (don't know the age they go up to) but they will definitely fit your son. Also try see kai run. These are wider and will fit. Plus they are better for her feet. www.seekairun.com

If anything is growing pains related I second or third the calcium experience. My 2 oldest used to complain of leg pain going up the stairs periodically. I gave them the calcium chews periodically as I noticed their appetites increase for a growth spurt and I rarely had problems after that!

Ouch! As far as the footie PJ's, if it is the one piece zipper part she likes, Hannah Andersson has some ($$$) with no feet, and she can pick out cute socks to wear with them. I have bought them on ebay to save money...

I always noticed my kids feet would grow alot and then they would grow in to them. She might be getting charie horses in her feet and boast up the calcium during this time so the bones have the food to grow.

P.S. have her walk until pain goes away it helps.

Just put her in the bigger ones. They zip up, so there should be any problem with them not staying on. Or if you are any good at sewing, you could make some yourself, and then they would be more special

Hi A.,
My daughter also loves the footie pjs but her feet were too long also. We cut off the tops of the footies and I sewed socks onto them. That way, she still had the non-skid bottoms but her feet still stayed warm in the socks. As for growing pains, Ibuprofen works well. Good luck!

It's just growing pains, and man do I know they can be a pain. But take heart mama they usually ease up by the time a kid is 6. BTW her feet sound normal, my 31 pound 3 1/2 y/o wears size 11 shoes.

Yeah she doesn't like junk food!!!! Fruits are high in sugars though too. Either way she sounds perfect.

The great thing about feeties is you can buy them bigger as they don't snug up against the body anyway, they have the elastic around the ankles so I think buying a bigger size to accomodate her feet is fine.
I am not sure about feet, have you spoken with her dr about them? Is she tall for her age?

I know my son who is four is in size 13 shoe! He is very tall for his age though. He weighs 43 pounds.
My daughter is 7 and weighs 43 pounds, she is 46 inches tall and barely in a size 13 shoe, hee hee she is the same height as my son!

If your kids are going through growth spurts that can cause pain. Also make sure their shoes have good supportive arches in them for their feet support.
Some kids have to go the extra mile and need the expensive shoes for that support.
My Peditrician said because of my son's size and his activity level he needs a good and well made tennis shoe.
My daughter is very petite however though she is in gym class three days a week and needs that support too.
There goes the cheap tennis shoes at Target for us! :)
If it continues take him to a Pediatric podiatrist. Never hurts to get an expert opinion.
