I can’t even get my 2 under 2 to keep clothes on !!! I hope everything works out for you some times us mama bears struggle but we dnt quit do what you gotta do keep fighting and fight hard u will get there …
Actually I don’t know any kid that stays clean all day. Even if they don’t go outside they inevitably drip food or juice on their clothing. I changed my children’s clothes every single day. Wash clothes by hand if you need to. I’ve been this way since elementary school but to each his own

Every day, sometimes more than once a day and she’s going to be six.
When she was younger (under a year) I changed her practically every time she had a diaper change. And then every time she ate when she was old enough to eat solid foods.
If they’re still clean I’ve used clothes two days in a row(mainly pants)
Have you thought of hanging a line in a room and hand washing a few clothes ,then just hang them to dry?
When my kids were that old daily PJ’s every other night I had a bed wetter so she had to get changed sheets everything everyday but if they’re a little bit sweaty or anything off the clothes go I used to take him to the laundromat and I’d have piles and piles of clothes there’s nothing like that smell of fresh clean clothes

At a year old they were changing clothes every time they ate. Now that they are eight and older I can get away with not washing some things sometimes. As babies though they change clothes more than once a day.

Exactly what u said is how it is…if its not dirty and if it still smells good then the kid(s) are good.
You can have a kid in the same outfit a while week and nobody would know unless you say something. As long as they happy, healthy, and clean then thats all that matters…im in the same boat as you, i dont have laundry at home and its a struggle to go to the laundromat, and now with the kids doing school its even harder.

If I didn’t have a washer or dryer or easy access to a laundry mat, I’d be washing them in the sink or tub by hand(which I have done before) Clothes are definitely no go for staying in because they carry too many allergens from the day on them especially if my kids have been outside. Pjs is a different story. They have worn them to bed and then the entire next day and occasionally fallen asleep in them the following night. However, they also don’t go outside in their PJs and pick up the allergens like they do with clothes.

My one year old is a pretty messy eater so he goes through one or two outfits a day. He gets clean pajamas put on every night with his sleep sac. I understand though if I didn’t have a washer and dryer I might try to stretch his clothes to last a little longer.

I’ve let my kids wear clothes multiple times in a row. When they come home they change into comfy clothes so their other clothes can be reworn if they were still in good shape. Last night I put the baby to sleep in a onsie. This morning there was no sweat or pee on it so I changed his diaper and added pants. Easy. Back before I had a washer I would wash and hang dry clothes as needed to stretch my money further. Laundromats are expensive so yeah you do what you gotta do.

Recently I have been putting my son to bed in the t shirt he’s wearing the next day so when I leave at 0500, all I have to do is change his diaper put some shorts on and bring socks and shoes for him to put on when he wakes for the day at grandmas. He gets agitated when I change his shirt early in the morning so this works for us.

When they were little like 5 times a day so they could get to wear everything before they outgrew it, barfing etc. Now they’re older (when they had school) 3. They would have school clothes, come home and change into something comfy, pjs. Now we’re doing online school they just wear pjs all day.
Change clothes every day but re use pjs for the week unless they get dirty. Everyone does there thing different no reason to judge.

When my child was small i was fortunate enough to have a change of clothes everyday. Sometimes twice a day if she spilled on them. I washed once or twice a week
You can wash clothes in a sink, especially little baby ones. Then hang them up to dry. However, I do feel like as long as your baby is kept clean, I really wouldn’t worry about it.

At that age I changed my kids 2-3 times a day depending on how dirty they got with meals or just playing. And new PJ’s every night for sure. But we had a washer & dryer so it was a little different for me. Now my oldest is 12 and he does not care if he’s in the same clothes for 2-3 days
I’ve always changed mine into new clothes in the morning. Change into pajamas at night but sometimes wear pajamas multiple nights before washing

My daughter will stay in the same outfit for almost 2 days, so I don’t see a problem with it But for all you mommas out there that don’t have a washer and can’t go to the laundromat everyday, but a portable washer. They are smaller and you hook them up to your bathroom sink and it drains in your tub. You can find cheap ones at home depot. Especially during a time like this where you don’t want your little ones out, it is well worth it. Message me if you’d like some info. I just bought one and it’s amazing

That young change him when he is dirty and to hell with what anyone says that is your baby!! My almost 2 year old granddaughter has to be changed a couple times a day because she is at the age she wants to feed herself but most time I strip her down to diaper when eating then put on the same outfit after she done. If it’s not dirty and doesn’t stink I dont see any problem but if the comments bother u then u could change him and pick up the outfit u take off for him to wear again another day before u wash it. I completely understand how it is when u dont have washer and dryer, my dryer is broken rn. It is rough especially when u have kids

When they are at school they change everyday. During the summer or now since we are home schooling I let them go a couple of days without changing if they’re not dirty and don’t stink. It makes it a little easier now too since my washing machine is broken at the moment.
I change my daughters clothes every day sometimes three times a day she’s two and loves clothes and loves showers or baths and she’s the one who insists she needs a new set of clothes after her shower or bath. She takes a bath in the morning and a shower at night and sometimes to soothe her before her nap we plop a shower cap on her and she gets a midday shower before her nap. She’s my youngest and she’s a little diva but oh well maybe we’ll regret it when’s she’s older but she has lots of cousins who hand down clothes so she has way too many and we do have a washer and dryer but I only do laundry maybe once or twice a week.

My kids (2.5 and 5 months) get changed when they wake up for the day and again at bedtime. Minimum. Obviously the baby probably gets changed more because of blow outs and spit ups. And if my toddler is leaving the house she usually has a home play outfit and will change into a cuter “going out” type outfit and then back into play clothes at home. I dont wear the same thing for 24 hours so I wouldnt want my kids to. I use pjs over for like 3 or 4 days though. And somtimes shorts or jeans as well. But switching between day and night is a good idea in my opinion.
I change my son’s outfit every day. New clothes in the morning and at night. I change everytime it gets very dirty or when it is soaked with sweat. I prefer to change his clothes, towels, etc even if it looks clean and smells good to have a peace of mind on my part.
At that age it really doesn’t matter it’s not like he’s running all over gods green earth. And sounds like you’re home a lot so 
I don’t have laundry either and do it at my parents on the weekends. As long as my kids clothes aren’t stained, she sleeps in them cause washing clothes for the day and pajamas gets insane. And then she wears a new outfit the next day. But she’s 2 so messy and she goes to daycare. When I was a SAHM when she was 9-13 months she didn’t really change unless she was dirty or we were going somewhere
Baby sometimes wears the outfit 2 days in a row if we are home and its not dirty. Sometimes she only has it on if we go out to the store quickly and then back home. She is in her carseat the whole time anyway. My older kids wear new outfit everyday.
I live in Africa. Have never had a washer or dryer but my kids change twice a day. Once after their bath,and second time at bedtime. Try to hand wash the lighter clothes twice a week if you can manage. Your baby needs clean and ironed clothes everyday☺
If you washed daily of each clothes everyone wears, it shouldn’t be hard.it’s even harder if all clothes accumulated are washed once.i find it time consuming that way. But hygiene is most important specially these times.i would wash clothes before I bath at night.
I didnt have a washer and a dryer for about 2 years until i moved when my daughter was about a year old. I still changed her outfits every day just because babies are messy eaters. They crawl around and everything else. I washed them out in the sink everyday. It got to the point where the soap would irritate my hands lol. Im not judging. Ur your own person and u have your own judments about things. Just giving u my personal experience. My daughter is 9 now. I make her change her outfit daily but usually i will make her wear her pajamas double nights because shes clean when she puts them on and all she does is sleep in them. The laundry struggle is real tho even when i think im caught up…nope lol
We’re in quarantine and I’m pregnant. We only put on clothes to leave the house or if someone comes over. They’re not going anywhere. Not playing outside. I’m not letting them make any messes because I’m too big and tired to clean. They’ll be ok. That’s how they build their immune system.
I know i wash my my kids clothes and hung them behind a wood stove in the winter to dry cause they would freeze outside

When my 24 yr old was little I use to change her multiple times a day because I loved to see her in different outfits my 16yr old I use to change once sometimes twice a day because I always wanted him to look sharp. Now my 6yr old and 3yr old they can go a few days in the same clothes if I let them. Shot I even let them wear what they want to even though it don’t match 
. So from my experience lol if they ain’t black from being dirty then don’t worry your fine. What iv learned from this in 24yrs of being a mother and the clothes situation my 2 oldest love spending money on clothes and nice ones. My 2 youngest don’t care even if I get it from a yard sale if it fits they love it
Do what you gotta do momma. No shame here. I’m thankfully able to use as many outfits as necessary throughout the day. But I’ve definitely reused outfits that he happens to keep it clean lol and there’s nothing wrong with that. I’d say stop reusing the same outfit for days in a row. Switch him into a different used outfit so that people will think you washed it since he last wore it. I’m so sorry you are going through hard times and please don’t listen to any rude comments😔 nobody should laugh as you never know, you may one day find yourself in the same situation as what you’re laughing at. My son is only 10 months, otherwise I would send you some of his clothes he’s grown out of. Hang in there, hun.
Clean clothes everyday. Sometimes we have to change during the day as well. Bath every night and we use the same PJs for a few days.
Everyday all 3 of mine get new clothing. Some days(ever rare) they stay in their PJs all day if they want but they would still get new Pjs on that night. 2 days IMO in an outfit straight is not good. For adult or child
As babies they were changed countless times a day. Now that they’re older (3.5 & 9) they put on a fresh, clean outfit every morning and fresh, clean pajamas every night.
Clothes changed everyday, pj’s worn for 2 nights then washed. How often are clothes being washed? Its said you can’t gobto the laundromat and don’t have a waher… so are all of you not washing clothes??

Changed my kids clothes twice daily. Not all parents are lucky to have what other parents have. If you’re comfortable with it and your child is too, then let it be. If that’s the only way you can afford for now then guess what? You have to live within your means. Sad but it’s the truth.
For me it depends on where they are and what they’re doing. Going out in public = new outfit. Just sitting at home doing nothing = same outfit for several days. This is also provided if doesn’t get soiled for one reason or another. But I live by the same philosophy. Clean underwear but I’ll wear the same shirt and pants for days unless I’m going somewhere.
Are you able to do it by hand? There are plenty of indoor hangers that are meant for drying that do not take up much space. I see them a lot at Daiso. It is extra work but it may ease your mind.
Changed vests socks and underwear (if potty trained) every day. Sometimes if outfit is clean maybe 2 days wear. But honestly if we we were not going out pjs all day. But at the age of 1 til 4 was hard to keep son clothes on, he preferred to be naked all day 
Wash them by hand and find somewhere to hang so they are dry. A not even 1 year should be in clean clothes, they get dirty all the time and no matter how calm they, they still spit, crawl/walk on dirty floors. My baby was a very calm child but I still changed him at least twice a day
Yes, my kids change their clothes and underwear daily and put on clean pajamas daily. Sometimes my kids changed four times a day, but they’re also 9 and 11-year-old girls. It is disgusting not to change your kids clothes every day.
I’m not judging, but that is definitely not for me.
That’s totally your choice but my girls change their clothes and shower everyday.

If they go to daycare they should change their clothing. Wouldn’t want them going into bed with dirty clothes from school. If they are just home and not leaving the house then a couple days would be fine.
My youngest (she is 1) she gets changed usually 3 times a day. She is a messy eater. For my older girls (9 and 11) my 9 year old changes her clothes twice a day and my 11 year old only changes hers once every few days ( she is autistic). Every parent is different. As long as your kids aren’t dirty, stinky, itchy, or have a rash and they aren’t bothered by it, the timing shouldn’t matter.
I definitely do different clothes every day now that he goes to school, but when he was younger if it didn’t work out that he got a bath i would just change his socks and underwear. They are too young to get very sweaty, and I feel like if they are comfortable and won’t get hurt then it shouldn’t be too big of a deal.
Your kids actually keep clothes on long enough to get dirty? My son strips to his underwear the minute we walk in the door.

So when do you wash the clothes & how? If you have no washer and dryer and you can’t go to the laundromat? Your baby may be very calm, but how do you stop dribble & food getting all over him? You take them off so they last a bit longer?
For us it depends on the days activities. If we stay inside all day the clothes get put up to be worn again if they are outside or sweaty or visibly dirty they go in the laundry basket
You do whatever it takes to get through your day, pay your bills and love your children. Don’t worry about what others think

There is no need to keep changing clothes often. If they are clean and the kid is comfortable then once a day is good.
When I didn’t have a washer or dryer I did them in the sink. Small clothes… easy to clean
So if you are worried about it my suggestion is that I would change him everyday but dont worry about washing the still clean clothing before putting it back on him in a day or 2. Set it up where it wont get dirty in the mean time and put him back in it later that week
All my kids ( 3 ) usually have a daytime outfit and something clean to wear to bed whether pjs or just t-shirt and shorts. So twice a day!
Nope… my boys are changed into fresh clean clothes after breakfast. And they get new fresh pjs every night before bed. (They are 23 months) When my daughter was little it was the same.
I mean I guess I just figured since I change mine everyday and I’m not out playing and sweating my kids definitely need to change everyday…
Im a differently able mom but i don’t like dirty clothes and stinky odor .i wash clothes by my hands and seldom use washing machine so for me its not a big deal/reason if your washing machine is out of order…just saying
I change my baby clothes at least 2 times a day if we go out then 3 times, u get germs on them, they like to sit on the floor, crawl, drool,they get dirty and messy when they eat etc
There was a time I had to wash our things out in the kitchen sink , wash wring out then rinse an ring out an hang to dry on hangers in bathroom kitchen bedroom wherever I could hang them .
Depends. We have 5 kids, our boys are 11, 9, and 6. The 11 and 9 year old are pretty clean, so they can wear same clothes a couple days and I don’t care. The 6 year old boy is messy so I make him change every day.
Our girls are 4 and 3. The 4 year old is a super diva and super particular about her clothes and doesn’t get them dirty so sometimes I let her fold and put back her clothes. The 3 year old is a walking disaster so she literally pees in and stains everything she wears, so she changes multiple times a day and I do multiple loads of laundry. Lol
It’s like a mix in our house
Clean clothes each morning and clean pajamas each night! Sometimes I even change her clothes when she gets home from school into “play clothes” 
Shirts get changed every day. Pants can be worn more than once as long as they are still clean. Thats what we do in our house any way. Makes your pants last much longer too.
We change clothing a couple of times a day usually kuddos to you if you can keep a toddlers clothing clean for two days 
If we’re not going anywhere and they’re not dirty my kids wear their pjs all day. My one yr old I put in fresh jammies every night just because it’s part of the routine, my older two it’s whatever, just put clean on after a shower/ bath🤷♀️
For daycare, I change her every day because germs. Otherwise, every couple days. Much longer than that and sweat/dead skin/dust/etc builds up in the cloth and give her skin issues.
Some times my kids change clothes a lot of they get super messy or wet, I change then into pajamas for bed time, or if my middle child insist on wearing his day clothes to bed I make him change on the morning, most of the time. I do have times where I’m like, “uhh, how long have you been wearing that” haha. And having a girl she likes to change, a lot, lol.
When I didn’t have access to a washer and dryer I just washed clothes in the bathtub and using clothespins I hung the clothes up on the shower curtain, or hung them on chairs or an ironing board, you can get really creative when it comes to hanging clothes to dry.
I wouldnt let them wear it 2 days in a row…but if they are not soiled, being the child is 1, then every 2 or 3 days or so wouldnt be bad…You could wash them in the tub and hang them to dry…
My first son is 4.5 months old and I used to let him go as long as 3 days in the same undershirt/onsie. Id change him after bath time and if he soiled himself. But I realized he wasn’t getting the full use from his clothes. I have more clothing in the larger sizes so now I change him everyday or 2nd day regardless whether he’s soiled himself. I have laundry in my building 3 flights down.
No judgement. Just sharing. Change every day 2 times. School clothes and pajamas. Bath everyday. I wash clothes once a week.
It just depends for my 3 year old. If we stay home it doesn’t really matter what my son wears, he’s normally just rockin underwear tbh😂 but if we’re going out in public a new outfit everyday. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment with no washer or dryer as well. And I usually change his pjs after 2 times worn, but that’s only if he keeps them on. We are full on potty training now and he likes to be naked lol
I don’t understand why people take a bath or shower and put PJs on but throw them in the dirty clothes the next day.
