Most new parents have been waiting for a long time to enjoy their baby’s first holidays and Halloween is a huge favorite! Parents are excited to dress up their babies in adorable costumes and take them out to see all their friends and family. Halloween is a wonderful time to get creative with costumes for newborns, but it’s important to make sure the costume is comfortable and safe or your baby won’t tolerate it for long. Here are some adorable and cozy costume ideas that can work for even the youngest baby:
Baby Pumpkin
This is a classic choice that never gets old. To make this costume, dress your newborn in an orange onesie and add a green beanie as the pumpkin stem. You can also paint a cute pumpkin face on the onesie. Alternatively, buy a fluffy pumpkin costume from a store. However, if your baby isn’t yet sitting up, make sure it’s comfortable and not too rounded, or they won’t be able to lie down.
Baby Animal
Dressing your baby as an animal is a fun and adorable way to celebrate Halloween. You can make your own costume by choosing from various animal onesies like a baby chick, kitten, puppy, or even a baby lion. These are comfortable and cute options for your little one. There are also countless ready-made animal costumes for babies in your local costume store that come with adorable hoods created to look like animal faces and little paws for footies. These are perfect for Halloween in colder climates.
Pea in a Pod
The pea in a pod costume is adorable and cozy for your baby to wear. Wrap your baby in a soft green swaddle or romper, and then create a pea pod shape around them. Add green balls to their front to make the peas. You can also find this costume in many shops. This adorable costume idea is not only cozy and warm, but also incredibly cute.
Little Superhero
Do you have a favorite superhero? This is the moment you have been waiting for! Transform your newborn into a mini superhero by using a tiny cape, a onesie with a superhero emblem, and a soft mask. You may prefer to skip the mask for very young babies. Also, consider buying a ready-made superhero outfit such as one made out of footy pajamas. Add a cape for an adorable and heroic look.
Baby Wizard/Witch
Halloween is the perfect time for magic. Deck your baby out in a wizard or witch costume complete with a soft hat and a cape. Since your little one is so young, you might have to skip accessories like wands and beards. However, you may be able to find a soft hat with hair attached which might not be irritating to your baby. This magical costume idea is perfect for a bewitching Halloween.
Baby Chef
A chef is a wonderful and unusual costume idea for your baby that will delight everyone. Dress your newborn in a white romper, attach a small apron, and top it off with a tiny chef’s hat. You can even add a plush spatula or spoon for extra cuteness. Your baby will be adorable, unique, and comfortable all night long!
Baby Aviator
Turn your little one into a baby aviator by creating a pilot-inspired costume with a bomber jacket, aviator hat, and goggles. You should be able to assemble this outfit yourself as long as you can find the various pieces. This idea is both vintage and adorable and perfect for movie lovers!
Baby Garden Gnome
Babies and gnomes already have so much in common, this is a perfect costume idea. They are both plump with lots of rolls, short, and bald! You just need to add a beard and a change of clothes to complete the look. It’s easy to find a ready-made gnome outfit, complete with a pointy hat and a fluffy white beard. It’s a whimsical and unique option that is also comfy for your baby to wear.
Baby Sushi Roll
This is a fun and easy costume idea that will also be cozy for a newborn. Simply wrap your baby snugly in a soft swaddle, then create a sushi roll shape using felt or fabric. Add some colorful accents like roe, cucumber slices, and a headband with a small wasabi and ginger plush. If you aren’t feeling crafty, buy a ready-made costume instead.
Baby Alien
Go for an out-of-this-world look by dressing your newborn as an adorable alien. Use a mix of metallic and neon fabrics, and add cute alien antennas onto a headband, beanie hat, or hood. Or for a more put-together costume, simply buy a tiny alien suit. If you are wearing your baby in a carrier or pushing them in a stroller, use cardboard and colored paper to create a UFO!
Baby Astronaut
Did you always dream of being an astronaut as a child? This is your chance to live out your imagination with your baby! Deck your little one out in a miniature astronaut suit, complete with patches, a space helmet, and maybe even a tiny plush rocket. You can easily find astronaut suits online or create your own by sticking felt cut-outs onto a soft romper.
Baby Flower
Finally, consider transforming your baby into a sweet little flower. Dress them in a soft, pastel outfit and use felt or fabric cutouts to create petals around the neck of the romper. Add a flower-covered headband or hat for the finishing touch. If you are short on time, you can also purchase a flower costume that is complete and comfy.
Conclusion
Remember, comfort and safety are paramount, so make sure any costume you choose doesn’t obstruct your baby’s movement or breathing. Anything with a mask or other facial covering might frustrate your baby, so be ready to remove it if needed. Also, take weather conditions into account, especially if you plan to go trick-or-treating outdoors. If it’s going to be cool, look for long-sleeved costumes with a hat or hoody. If it is warm, a onesie and light blanket might be perfect. Stay safe, have fun, and make it a spooktacular Halloween!
