I’m a divorced dad and have a fantastic 5-year old daughter. It’s getting a bit colder now so she sleeps with warm pj’s. I have always heard that little girls should sleep with their panties on but recently heard the contrary. Which one is the healthiest for her ? Thank you !

PEDIA is way off on the nanny bit. You do not need to hire a nanny to dress your kid because you are a male. What kind of answer is that coming from a pediatrician??
Anyway, let you daughter decide. I agree with the answer above though, if she is weating a nightgown, undies are a must!
i have worn panties all my life and i dont have any health issues.I also have a 4 year old daughter and ever since she has been potty trained she has worn nickers all day every day. I would say its proberly cleaner for the child to wear panties as this will stop sand and other stuff getting to her private parts. As long as you change them every day its ok
perhaps when it ain’t too cold, allowing the crotch area to “breath” is a good idea. a bit of powder to keep the area dry should help in warm months. maybe asking a pediatrician will help. good luck buddy.
If she’s sleeping with warm pj’s on, just let her decide. It shouldn’t effect her health any way.
p.j’s no undies. Nighties wear undies. That is the rule in our house. As undies are cotton there is no reason to worry about “airing ” things. It is just a matter of comfort. Undies should be worn with a nightie I believe so girls aren’t showing there vagina’s while they wriggle do somersaults dance or whatever they are doing before bed that makes the nightie ride up
100% cotton panties that aren’t tight are the best way to go. She can change them as frequently as you see fit. I have never heard of their being any benefits to going without and im in the medical profession.
Well to the best of my knowledge, as long as the underwear is cotton and so are the pajamas, it doesn’t really make a difference.
The cotton allows the area to get plenty of air circulation. If her jammies are a synthetic or synthetic blend, then stick with the panties. She shouldn’t have nylon or polyester against her skin at that age. Read the label to find out what the pj’s are made out of. Then ask your daughter how she wants to sleep, with or without. Since she’s 5 and used to underwear, she’ll probably want to stay in them.
I personally am in favor of wearing underwear to bed for children.
1. Modesty.
2. Keeps scratchy fabrics away from sensitive skin.
3. It’s a smart habit for later on when they are at sleepovers.
I’ve never had any daughters, but I would think that personal comfort would dictate whether or not they would sleep with underwear on.
If they do they should be wearing clean and fresh underwear to bed. Generally, for boys or girls, loose underwear is a little better for sleeping since it would be more likely to be clean overnight.
They should change it at least daily and should also be bathing on a regular, if not daily basis.
I dont honestly know this answer. But my feelings are without. I have a 2.5 year old boy who is potty trained and he doesnt wear his underwear to bed. I think personaly its better without but dont know any proof of that.
im a pedia and its best to let her wear panties it will help keep her genitals clean and protect her privates from a lot of bacteria and i had a atient once she had a daughter whose privates was inflamed i found out she didnt wear panties and ur a dad ur suppose to hire a nanny to care for her and change her panties not u the cops wil come if u do change her panties yourself i know ur the dad but its improper 4 u to wash her privates and clothe her urself
