Baby's first Halloween is more about photos and cuddles than trick-or-treating. The best baby costumes are soft, simple to put on and cozy enough for a chilly evening. Here are a few easy ideas.
The little bear
An animal-inspired outfit can make a simple costume. The Baby Bear Hooded Romper has bear ears on the hood, so it works as a costume all on its own.
The pumpkin
Nothing says first Halloween like a tiny pumpkin. An orange outfit, a green hat and a pumpkin patch photo are all you need. We don't have Halloween costumes in the shop right now, so this one is a do-it-yourself idea.
For toddlers and big siblings
Older kids can match the theme with striped socks, a favorite animal outfit or cozy pajamas for the night after trick-or-treating.
Cozy add-ons
October evenings get cold. Layer a soft outfit like the Knit Cotton Top & Pants Set under any costume, and add non-slip socks for indoor parties.
Tips for a comfortable costume
- Choose one-piece outfits that are easy to change.
- Skip masks and anything that covers baby's face.
- Avoid small parts baby could pull off and put in their mouth.
- Take photos early, before nap time.
