[zwan87]

Hi i have a one year old who will not wear shoes or socks its near impossible to get them on him and as soon as there on he pulls them off or cry's till i take them off any idea's?

Following this thread, I have the same problem!

Does he really need to wear them? If he is in a pram or running around indoors and its only for looks maybe its not worth the fight iykwim?

well not inside but he is starting to walk and its freezing outside and there are funel webs in the garden

what about some really soft slippers to practice inside? Or maybe some socks with bells sewn on? Or how about some of those sneakers that light up? Just some incentive to keep them on IYKWIM?

My girls have all been shocking with shoes.

I find open toe shoes better to get them used to wearing some thing on their feet
Put socks on for bed time. If they sleep in the socks they get used to the feeling
I used baby leggins under pants. They can't pull them off!!!
My girls love gum boots
When going put only put shoes on when you get to your destination.
Make up a funny song when putting the shoes on. "This is the way we put on our shoes, put on our shoes"
Once shoes are on, quickly use distraction to take their mind off wearing shoes

In time they'll wear shoes no probs

I only have shoes on DS1 if we are going outside and he will be walking, (we have no off street parking so I need him to walk so i can carry DS2) however often he pulls them off before I pick up DS2 off floor or bassinet and get to door!! Once in car he rips them off before i get into car!! Drives me insane sorry no advice just wanted you to know you are not alone!
