Selecting the right coming home outfit for your newborn baby is more than just choosing a cute ensemble; it's about commemorating the start of a wonderful new chapter for your family. The outfit your baby wears home from the hospital will be etched in your memory and immortalised in those first captivating photographs, so it's important to choose one that is not only adorable but also comfortable and made from baby-friendly materials.
With so much to consider, from the material and size to the style and accessories, it can be overwhelming to choose the perfect outfit doe your new arrival. Here are some top tips to help you select the most adorable and comfortable baby coming home outfit:
Choose Soft, Breathable Materials:
New babies have delicate skin, so it's important to choose an outfit made from soft, breathable materials like cotton. Avoid outfits with lots of frills, lace, or other decorations that could irritate your baby's skin and prove uncomfortable.
Consider the Weather
Think about the weather when choosing that all important first outfit. A light, short-sleeved outfit may be perfect for a summer baby, while a warmer, long-sleeved outfit may be better for a winter baby.
Think About Ease of Use
Choose an outfit that is easy to put on and take off. Outfits with poppers or zippers are often easier to use than those with buttons whilst you get used to handling your newborn. You might also like the more modern approach of slip on items, like our Zipless Romps. These one-outfits have zero fastenings for quick, easy changes. Explore different options whilst you decide what you prefer for you and your little one.
Select a Size that Fits
Newborn sizes vary, and some new babies may even fit into 0-3 month size clothing right away. It's always a good idea to have a couple of different sizes on hand just in case.
Don’t Forget the Accessories
A cute hat, booties, or a swaddle blanket can add an extra special touch to your baby's coming home outfit. Just be sure to choose accessories that are comfortable and functional as well as stylish.
Remember, the most important thing is that your baby is comfortable and safe in their coming home outfit. Choose soft, breathable materials, consider the weather, think about ease of use, select the right size, and don’t forget the accessories.
