Kids sleepwear manufacturers frequently license the images of the most popular toys, games and characters, with the express purpose of coaxing the parents into purchasing a bit of peace at bedtime.

Winter Sleepwear

Girls enjoy footy pajamas and nightwear in very cold weather, though it's good to note that the feet can become hot in the middle of the night, especially when the blankets are heavy.
