Dressing up a little one is part of the fun of the baby’s first Halloween. Many parents use infant costumes even for staying in on Halloween just to have that perfect photo op that will be remembered for ages to come. Anyone who has had an infant know that part of the fun is seeing the baby dressed up in cute duds. When you aren’t feeding or changing them, seeing a baby smile while dressed up creates fun memories that you’ll hold dear for years to come.
The Disney princesses have taken over children’s gear from clothing to bedding, so it’s no wonder the trend has made its way into infant costumes too. Before a little girl is old enough to choose her favorite Disney princess, there’s a chance her parents may have already dressed her as their favorite for Halloween. These are accessible costumes that are easy to put on a child and look adorable while on without being overly fussy. The Disney princesses naturally have large tulle skirts that make her look like royalty.
Insect and animal costumes have been popular for infant costumes and create a fun look for Halloween. Infant insect and animal costumes used to require putting a hat or headpiece on the child, which were often constricting and tough to wear. Now you can find both insect and animal costumes with hoods, which are a lot easier for a baby to wear. Many are already used to something soft on their heads such as a beanie, hat or hood, so they do not feel like they are constricted and their comfort is not hindered in any way.
Infant costumes constructed similar to the insect and animal costumes are food costumes. Usually this involves a child being a piece of fruit, such as an apple or a strawberry. This is a fun costume that is easy to put on a child and comes with a soft headpiece that is comfortable for the baby to wear. These costumes are usually worn with black or white leggings or tights and socks for a comfortable costume.
These comfy costumes are ideal for a baby who attends a party and may end up falling asleep. You want a costume that is easy to wear throughout the evening that will not make the child fussy and is conducive for the diaper changes and crawling around.
