Carter’s Bubble Socks worked wonders for us. I don’t think our daughter ever kicked out of them. The only downside is that they don’t have grippies on the bottom for when baby starts to walk.
You still can- a number of retailers sell adult-sized fleece footie pajamas.
I third the recommendation for Baby Gap socks, although our little Buggy mostly went barefoot, almost until she started walking.

Is your baby doing this inside or outside or both? If it’s just inside and it’s not cold, I’d let him or her go barefoot. Particularly if your little one is pulling up or learning to walk, it might make it easier because bare feet are less prone to slippage than sock feet, especially on hard floors. Outside in the winter, though, I can understand your concern. In that case, I’d second or third the recommendation for some kind of shoe. The ones that tie are especially helpful, since their coordination (or lack thereof) doesn’t allow them to untie shoes and take them off for quite some time.
Our little boy used to yank his socks off at every opportunity unless he was outside. He liked to explore his feet, suck his own toes and just generally seemed more comfortable without them. After a while, we capitulated and wound up with a mound of socks scattered all around his car seat and trails of socks like breadcrumbs all over the house. We were constantly stuffing our pockets full of socks as we’d find them. I still find socks in my coat pockets once in a while, and recently found one in a kitchen drawer with some rarely-used utensils.
I came in to say Robeez, but someone beat me to it. Only way Miss Cricket would keep her socks on. They can still wiggle out of the Robeez, but it’s a lot harder to do.
That’s what I was gonna say. Now, my 16-month-old actively pulls his socks off when he’s bored (i.e., if we don’t get him out of his crib fast enough once he wakes up). Not a lot to be done about that.
Dear Og. What kind of monsters are you two, to suggest that. :eek::mad:
Krazy Glue works better and doesn’t hurt going on.
(we relied on a varying combination of replacing the socks, and putting on soft shoes which stayed on a bit better, and letting 'em go barefoot. Hell, I go barefoot year round myself, babies won’t die of chilly tootsies)
