These are easy to get on a wiggly newborn, hold up well in the wash and clean easily. The seem to get softer with wear too which is nice. The mitten cuffs are great too, keeps you from having to trim their nails so often. Only downside is that they are a bit short so they ride up easily. As a side note, they take dye well too. We had a bunch left over from the first baby and freshened them up for baby number two with some fun colors if Rit dye.
