Sock it to My Baby: Nix Socks
I have always felt it was important for my children to wear socks, but most baby socks have two strikes against them:
1) they don’t reflect my “style” (my style is not pastel colors and thin nylon)
2) they don’t stay on baby’s feet!
I always wondered why so many baby socks are what I call “dorky looking” (does anyone use the word “dorky” anymore? Just me? Thought so…)
Necessity is the mother of invention, and babies need cool clothes! Finally, someone has risen to the challenge on behalf of cold baby toes!
Nix All-Star Socks are just the thing for a baby hipster. They look totally cool, designed after the pinnacle of sock fashion: tube socks a la late 1970’s.
I put the “staying on power” of Nix All-Star Socks to the test with 13-month-old Deeds.
This is a baby who frequently wakes up with NO PANTS. Since he can’t keep his pj’s on throughout the night, I had given up on socks as part of his bed time ensemble long ago.
However, Nix All-Star Socks PASSED the test! They really do stay on!
This could be so helpful for Deeds. He loves to free himself from the confines of his clothing and run around naked whenever possible. But NOW he can run around naked WEARING NIX SOCKS!
Nix All-Star Socks are so soft and comfortable. Made from 80% cotton, 15% nylon, and 5% spandex, these socks are made in the same high quality as adult athletic socks.
We love our Nix Socks; I only wish that we had known of them months ago!
Nix All-Star Socks come in a variety of colors for boys and girls. Nix All-Star Socks are “one size” for baby feet sized 2-7.
Nix All-Star Socks are giving away 2 pairs of Nix Socks ($18 value) to one lucky Mom Most Traveled Reader!

Those photos of Deeds are the cutest! Especially that first one. He looks so giddy! Were you tickling him?
I’d say my favorite is the Boys Dark set. My little guy is also anti-sock, but so far the pants have stayed on.
