It’s actually quite easy. The gimp mask only muffles your voice unless you’re wearing one designed to be used with a ball gag. Try talking with your teeth clenched to get an idea or watch ‘The People Under the Stairs’.
1. You have to remember that the button onesie was replacing an even worse problem, getting a small baby’s leg through a narrow tube of fabric. Like feeding cooked spaghetti through a straw if the cooked spaghetti would randomly curl up into a ball.
2. With your second kid, you won’t worry if the snaps on the onesie line up or are all connected to another snap. You’ll snap the leg snaps to the body snaps and think, “Well, it will keep her occupied for a bit.”
Zippered sleepers are evil. If they’re old enough that you can’t use baby gowns (because they pull up the hem), they’re old enough to start playing with the zipper. Not to mention the difficulties of having to feed their legs into the sleeper leg that doesn’t have an opening up the top.
Also, we tend to put the baby in just the sleeper, no shirt underneath, so a zippered sleeper results in their chest being exposed to the cold air during diaper changes, because they have to be opened from the top to get the legs out. But that’s just us.
I will note that I tolerated zipper sleepers much more with our first child, so I suspect it takes practice (as well as learning the hard way about them taking them off.) At least they aren’t as evil as hook-and-loop fastening diaper covers though.
Wait. HOW is Nanny Gimp talking with their mouth zipped shut?!?

Ventriloquism. Also useful to Benedictine monks and chatty murder suspects, and provides excellent relief to Tourette’s sufferers.
Adam: brilliant comic! You probably shouldn’t sleep at all anymore.
Where’s great-grandpa?
Mayhaps the Shoe of God hath descended upon him!
Nice allusion to the Gordian Knot. š
If I could go back in time I would find Allen the day before he cane up with his wrench and Iād break his fingers
Amen >:(
Two things:
1. You have to remember that the button onesie was replacing an even worse problem, getting a small baby’s leg through a narrow tube of fabric. Like feeding cooked spaghetti through a straw if the cooked spaghetti would randomly curl up into a ball.
2. With your second kid, you won’t worry if the snaps on the onesie line up or are all connected to another snap. You’ll snap the leg snaps to the body snaps and think, “Well, it will keep her occupied for a bit.”
These things are a regular focus of hatred in the FB new dads discussion group I’m in, so you’re not alone š
Just beware that those zippered onesies don’t catch any baby skin. But snaps beat buttons hands-down.
I did not expect you to Bring In the Gimp!
Why not? Those suits are sorta onesies, too, right?
Given the way the executioner in the first panel is hunched over, he’s sleep-deprived as well š
Or he’s just giant.

Weren’t they invented by Dr. Sara Josephine Baker because too many babies were smothering to death sleeping in swaddling clothes?
