So far we're 6-for-7 on getting V into clothes. The one exception was a day he woke up at 5am and wouldn't go back to sleep. I think some of the other babies in his room (all 6-12m) are in sleepers more often. I wouldn't judge.
The DCP prefers sleepers to outfits that restrict movement (tight pants, etc.).
There is a 2 year old at DDs DC who wears her pjs everyday. (I know they're pjs, because DD has some of the same ones).
I know her mom quite well. Kid is in a phase. Mom is out of Fs to give over it. She's at a DC in the sticks. DCP is the sweetest, "Dude, I'm happy she keeps her clothes on" lady out there.
Then again, I'm constantly amazed on here that people lose sleep and seriously stress over what their kid has on.
I always sent my kids in a onesie and pants (boy and girl) until they were walking full time. I think that it is easier to pull down elastic waist pants and unsnap a onesie to change a diaper so that is my reasoning behind it. I've used 2 different infant daycares and many others have sent their kids in just sleepers, I think it is perfectly normal.
One time at my daughter's daycare I sent her in a shirt instead of a onesie and the director requested I use onesies til she was no longer being carried everywhere because they ride up and that made sense to me. That is the only time someone mentioned clothing to me at daycare.

Is the child in the sleeper all day? I send C to daycare in his sleeper because she changes his clothes regardless (like I used to dress him and he would come home in a different outfit even though his first one wasn't soiled). I figure it is less laundry for me.
M wore a sleeper on most days until about 6m but that is because my H brought her in the morning. To his credit, he would put her in a clean one. After that she went in a onesie and pants, and when she started walking around 12m we dropped the onesie and did t/pants.
Would I notice of an older infant wore a sleeper daily? Sure. Would I care? Nope.

I think you're just looking for things to judge.
My 10-month old has worn real clothes maybe 4 times since last fall when it got cool out. This is 50% b/c sleepers are easy and cozy in the cold weather and 50% b/c DS1's hand-me-downs that are real clothes start with shorts and t-shirts b/c by the time he was big enough for real clothes, it was summer. I really don't feel like spending money on real clothes for DS2 when he's perfectly fine in sleepers until it's warmer since we have about 8 zillion t-shirts and shorts from DS2.
DS occasionally still has days where he wears sleepers all day at age 2. DH decides sometimes that it's just a good day to stay in pajamas, and DS sometimes requests to just wear his pajamas. Oh well.
Lololololol. My kids peed through her pants the other day and spent the afternoon in public in her diaper and shirt. Thank goodness the ergo limited judging.
When DS was in the 2ish range, we were on a 6 hour road trip. He leaked out of his diaper. I had extra diapers easily in reach but had stupidly packed his clothes under all our other crap. So- into Wendy's we went w/ him just in a polo shirt and a diaper. The shirt was very long at least, but still - I felt very, very Klassy.

Dd1 dumped a bottle of water on her pants at a park event and had to run around in a diaper and shirt. It was cloth, so I pretended it was cute. I'm often Klassy.
This winter my then 3.5 year old wore pjs to daycare. They were her Christmas pjs, she threw a major fit about taking them off. I was 8 months pregnant, my husband was traveling for work and I couldn't deal. So off she went.
I did side eye it the first time I saw it because I have always dressed M and then I realzied that I would kill to be able to wear footie PJs all day so now I am jealous. Plus I see how dirty M gets and only having to wash one sleeper vs shirt, pants, socks, and some times a onesie that goes under his shirt seems pretty smart in my book :-)
J should be dropping AJ off at the sitter's any minute now...I'm about to text her later and ask if he's wearing his jammies or if he's wearing "regular" clothes. Since J has to be at work at 10 today, I'm guessing it's the former.
I always dress the kids for daycare but mostly cause they have so many clothes that I wanted them to wear before they outgrew them. On the weekends (if we have nothing going on) they are usually in their PJ's all day (just like their Mama).
Yesterday on our way out the door I noticed DH hadn't snapped DS's onesie, and it was hanging out over his pants. So I just tucked it into his pants without a care in the world.
I use to dress dd in pants and shirts and nicer clothes until I saw how dirty she was when she came home..sand up her butt, paint all over her clothes. Then I saw all the other babies in sleep-n-plays and I felt like the dumb mom. Now I dress her in sleepers and her 'cheaper' clothes so she can get dirty all she wants.

DD wore sleepers on occasion if she had to get up early for drop-off. The only time I've noticed what other kids are wearing is if DD has the same outfit, or they are wearing the DC back-up outfit of shame.
I get to wear coveralls to work everyday, which is basically like wearing pajamas, and I love it. Ironically, people will judge you if you wear street clothes around the office.

LOL, you know he (or you? I think DH?) never snaps the middle snap at all, right? So, I just figured yesterday, he was seeing if he could get away with all the snaps undone!

Beth or Dr. M. taught me that trick when he was itty bitty! Leave the center un-snapped and you can easily reach down, slide a finger in, and quickly pop the onesie open. It's like a handle! It makes undressing him standing up before a bath more streamlined.

Ha, yes, Meli would always do that with V! Drove me bonkers back when I was Type A (had time or sanity to be Type A?)! Now, I'll take all the shortcuts I can get!
