  • 4T: 37 - 41 lbs, 40 - 44 inches

Order Up If Between Sizes

Ms. Rachel pajamas run slim through the hip. If your toddler is at the top of a size range or has cloth diapers, order one size up. Footies should have 0.5 to 1 inch of room past the toes.

Fabric and Care Tips for Lasting Wear

Most Ms. Rachel pajamas use 100% cotton jersey or cotton-polyester blends. Each fabric has pros and cons.

Cotton Jersey (Two-Piece Sets)

Breathable and soft. Washes well in cold water. Tumble dry low to minimize shrinkage. Expect about 3 - 5% shrinkage after first wash. Lay flat to dry if you want to preserve the print.

Cotton-Polyester (Footies)

More durable and wrinkle-resistant. Holds color better. Wash inside out on gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and fabric softener - they break down the flame-resistant finish.

Print Longevity

Screen-printed designs last 50+ washes if you follow care labels. To keep Ms. Rachel’s face bright, iron the fabric (not the print) on low heat, or don’t iron at all.

Best value pick. 100% cotton jersey in a soft heather gray. Ms. Rachel signing “I love you” in ASL on the chest. Long sleeves and pants. Sizes 2T - 4T. $22 - $26.

How to Choose the Right Pair

Consider your toddler’s stage. For babies under 1, the footie is easiest for middle-of-the-night changes. For walkers, the two-piece set allows free movement. For kids in potty training, the nightie wins.

Budget matters too. The nightie is cheapest but less durable. The cotton-poly footie lasts through multiple washes. If you want one pair that does it all, the I Love You Song set balances comfort, durability, and price.
