We started out making soakers for the little people in our lives and then found out that these little pants were perfect for babies. The knitted fabric is stretchy and warm and moves in perfect coordination with little legs. These baby yoga pants are custom fit to hold a padded bum and you can make the legs short or long.

Bonus, mom and dad can use baby yoga pants as soakers, too. Soakers are little knitted pants worn over cloth diapers. Made from 100% wool, soakers “soak” up any leaks and wick moisture away from that soft, sensitive skin. Wool can hold a lot of moisture, too. And wool doesn’t provide a great environment for bacteria, so it doesn’t need constant washing. It’s perfect!
