Dressing up with your baby should be fun, and it gets a lot more fun once you accept that the baby's half of the costume is really just comfortable clothing with a theme sewn on. The pairings below run from storybook characters and film favorites to food jokes, animals and classic October symbols, and most of them are built on a plain sleeper or onesie with no complicated sewing. Each one covers what Mom wears, the baby's outfit, hair, makeup, props and shoes. When I plan a mom and baby set, I start with the baby's base layer and the weather, then I pick Mom's shoes, because she'll be carrying a moving weight for hours. Everything else can be simplified.
Sewing Felt Details onto a Sleeper So Nothing Comes Off
Nearly every baby costume below is a plain sleeper or onesie with spots, stripes, a belly panel or ears added. I sew those pieces on rather than gluing them, every time. Hot glue and fabric glue both peel from stretchy knit, and anything that comes loose ends up in a baby's mouth.
- Wash and dry the sleeper first. Most cotton shrinks a little, and pieces sewn on before the first wash pucker afterwards.
- Cut the shapes from felt or fleece. Fleece doesn't fray and stays soft; wool-blend felt holds a crisp edge but can feel stiffer against skin.
- Pin each piece, then slide a piece of card inside the sleeper so you don't stitch the front to the back.
- Stitch close to the edge by hand with a small running stitch, or by machine with a narrow zigzag so the seam still stretches with the knit. A straight machine stitch on stretch fabric pops the first time the sleeper is pulled over a head.
- Give every piece a firm tug before the baby wears it. Anything that lifts at an edge gets a few more stitches.
Keep everything flat on the front and back, and leave the neckline, cuffs and snaps clear so diaper changes stay quick. Ears go on the hood seam, not on top of the head where they'd stand up and wobble.
1. Little Red Riding Hood And Baby Wolf Costume
Red Riding Hood and a baby wolf is a fairytale you can explain in one look. Mom wears a red hooded cape over a white blouse and a knee-length black or brown skirt, with opaque tights, flat ankle boots, soft curls and rosy makeup. Keep the basket small and light, since you'll want one hand free at all times. The baby wears a soft gray sleeper with a fuzzy belly panel and a wolf-ear hood, plus gray booties and felt paws stitched to the sleeper. Faux fur sheds, and babies put everything in their mouths, so I keep fur off the baby altogether. If you're babywearing, put removable faux-fur trim on the gray carrier instead.
2. Cruella And Baby Dalmatian Costume
A Cruella and baby Dalmatian costume turns a film villain into a joke you can take to a family party. Mom wears a fitted black dress, a white faux-fur coat, red gloves and black block heels or flats, with a temporary black-and-white wig in loose waves, red lipstick and a clean winged liner. A small red handbag is all the prop she needs. The baby's spotted onesie is the easiest DIY on this list: a white cotton onesie or footed sleeper with soft black felt spots stitched on, a floppy spotted-ear hat, a red fabric collar and white booties. I cut the spots in uneven sizes so they look like real markings and not polka dots. For outdoor events, put a spotted fleece bunting over the sleeper, because thin costume fabric won't keep a baby warm.
3. Snow White And Baby Deer Costume
Snow White with a baby deer suits a fall photo walk. Mom builds a fan-made princess outfit from a blue fitted top with puffed sleeves, a flowing yellow midi skirt and a short red cape, then black ballet flats, a red bow headband, soft dark curls and rosy cheeks. A woven basket of artificial leaves is safer than loose treats around a baby who grabs. The baby wears a warm brown sleeper with a cream belly, matching booties and a soft hood or headband with small deer ears. I'd go for the hood over a headband for babies under about a year; headbands slip down over the eyes and get pulled off within minutes. A few white felt spots on the back finish it, kept flat and away from the face.
4. Alice And Baby White Rabbit Costume
Alice and the White Rabbit is my pick for indoor parties or daytime trick-or-treating, since Mom's dress is light. She wears a pale blue knee-length dress with a white apron, white tights and black Mary Jane flats, with blonde hair or a blonde wig and a black ribbon headband, plus fresh pink makeup. Carry a big lightweight key or an empty teacup. The baby wears a white footed sleeper, a soft vest and a hood with upright rabbit ears, a fabric pocket-watch appliqué on the front and white booties. Upright ears flop if they're just felt, so I sew a strip of fusible interfacing or a second felt layer inside each one. A small red heart on both outfits ties them together.
5. Dorothy And Baby Lion Costume
Dorothy and a baby lion is cheerful and very forgiving to put together. Mom wears a blue gingham pinafore over a white puff-sleeve blouse, white socks and comfortable red flats, with two low braids tied in blue ribbon, rosy cheeks and a soft red lip. A small wicker basket lined with gingham makes a good candy carrier. The baby wears a tan fleece sleeper with a soft brown tummy and a fabric tail, plus a light mane hood that leaves the face fully open, and tan booties. I sew tails on short, no longer than the baby's torso, so they can't wrap around legs or catch in a stroller wheel. Babywearing moms can put a flat faux-fur mane around the outside of a tan carrier.
6. Mary Poppins And Baby Penguin Costume
Mary Poppins and a baby penguin reads easily and uses pieces you can actually move in. Mom wears a white high-neck blouse, a navy midi skirt, a fitted dark jacket and black lace-up ankle boots, with a small red bow tie, a neat low bun and a classic red lip. A closed lightweight umbrella and a structured carpet-style tote finish her. The baby wears a soft black sleeper with a white belly panel and yellow foot covers, plus a padded black hood with a small fabric beak. Black fleece shows every bit of lint and spit-up, so I keep a lint roller in the diaper bag. Tie a red bow at the baby's neck only for pictures, then take it off.
7. Barbie And Baby Ken Costume
Barbie and baby Ken is the costume you can mostly pull out of the closet. Mom wears a bright pink jumpsuit, or a pink top with wide-leg pants, and white sneakers, with a high ponytail or smooth waves, glossy pink makeup and heart-shaped sunglasses. A small pink handbag is the final touch. The baby wears a striped pastel romper or a button-print onesie with pale blue pants, white socks and fabric loafers. A blonde yarn headpiece is cute, but I've rarely seen a baby keep one on, so treat it as a photo-only piece. Skip rigid doll-box props entirely. A pink stroller blanket helps tie the two together outdoors.
8. Wonder Woman And Baby Superhero Costume
Bold red, blue and gold stand out in a crowded street. For a fan-made Wonder Woman, Mom pairs a red fitted top with a blue knee-length skirt, a gold belt and red boots or supportive red sneakers, plus soft waves, glowing makeup and a gold star headband. Light foam wrist cuffs give the heroic detail without restricting her arms. The baby wears a blue or red cotton sleeper with a simple gold star. Capes are where baby superhero costumes go wrong; I attach them with snaps or hook-and-loop at the shoulders, never a tie at the neck, and keep the hem well above the feet. In a carrier, put the short cape on the outer panel instead of on the baby.
9. Ghostbuster And Baby Marshmallow Costume
A Ghostbuster with a baby marshmallow man is my favorite film joke for a baby who loves a puffy bunting. Mom wears a beige utility jumpsuit with black sneakers or lace-up boots, a simple logo patch and a belt of light cardboard gadgets, plus a practical ponytail and a little smudged gray shadow for that end-of-shift look. Keep any painted cardboard backpack small; a full-size one knocks into the baby every time you turn. The baby wears a puffy white bunting or fleece sleeper with a blue sailor collar and a red necktie, a soft white hat with a blue band and white booties. Sitting in a decorated stroller, the round shape is what everyone notices.
10. Wednesday Addams And Baby Thing Costume
Wednesday Addams and a baby Thing is dark humor that stays sweet. Mom wears a black long-sleeve midi dress with a crisp white collar, black tights and flat black loafers, with two neat braids, pale makeup and a muted berry lip. Hold a straight face for photos. Thing is a hand, which a baby can't really be, so I make a full-body version: a beige sleeper with playful black stitch lines printed or drawn on, beige socks, soft mitt-style cuffs and a rounded beige cap. If you draw the stitches, use a fabric marker and wash the sleeper once before wearing so no ink sits on the skin. A black stroller blanket and a striped toy block add contrast; avoid gloves or anything over the baby's fingers.
11. Catwoman And Baby Kitten Costume
Catwoman and a baby kitten comes together from black basics. Mom wears a fitted black jumpsuit, or black leggings with a long-sleeve top, and flat combat boots, then a wide black belt, a cat-ear headband, a high ponytail and a soft smoky eye. A small black crossbody keeps her hands free. The baby wears a plush black or gray sleeper with a pale belly, a securely stitched tail and a kitten-ear hood, plus matching booties. I never put makeup on a young baby's face; embroidered whiskers on the hood do the job. All-black outfits vanish after dark, so add reflective trim to Mom's outer layer if you'll be out past sunset.
12. Witch And Baby Black Cat Costume
A witch with a baby black cat is about as October as it gets. Mom wears a flowing black midi dress with purple tights, buckled ankle boots and a light velvet cape, plus a wide-brim pointed hat over loose waves, purple shadow and berry lipstick. A short decorative broom of soft raffia replaces a real one with scratchy bristles. The baby wears a black footed sleeper with a gray or purple belly, a small fabric tail and a padded cat-ear cap, with black booties and a purple bow tie. A wide witch hat brim hits the baby's head whenever you lean in, so I'd go for a smaller hat if you're babywearing. Cover the carrier with black fabric, ears on the outer panel, and leave out long ribbons the baby could grab.
13. Beekeeper And Baby Bee Costume
A beekeeper and baby bee is bright and easy to assemble. Mom wears white or beige coveralls over a breathable T-shirt with tan work boots or white sneakers, plus a wide-brim hat with soft mesh kept behind the face so it never blocks her view. A low ponytail and natural makeup fit the practical theme, and a small empty bucket with a honeycomb pattern makes the prop. The baby wears a black-and-yellow striped sleeper, yellow booties, a soft antenna cap and short fabric wings sewn flat across the back. Wings that stick out make a baby lie crooked in a car seat or stroller, so I keep them flat. In a carrier, put the wings on the carrier cover.
14. Gardener And Baby Flower Costume
A gardener and a baby flower doesn't need any licensed pieces. Mom wears denim overalls over a green plaid shirt with garden clogs or supportive brown boots, plus a messy bun under a straw hat and rosy cheeks. A clean watering can or a light basket of artificial flowers is her prop. The baby wears a green cotton sleeper, matching foot covers and a soft petal bonnet around the face. I make the petals from fleece rather than felt; fleece doesn't fray, and it stays soft after a few hours of drool. A leaf-shaped bib adds another detail, and a stroller decorated as a simple white garden planter makes the whole scene.
15. Chef And Baby Lobster Costume
A chef with a baby lobster is the dinner joke. Mom wears black pants, a white button-front chef jacket, nonslip black shoes and a tall fabric chef hat, with her hair in a bun and clean makeup. A light mixing spoon and an empty foam stockpot, big enough to read but easy to handle, are the props. The baby wears a bright red fleece sleeper with a segmented tummy, soft fabric claws on the sleeves and a padded hood with small eyes, plus red booties. Claws stitched to the sleeve ends cover the hands, so I fold them back as cuffs and only flip them down for a minute or two. And please never put the baby inside an actual pot, even for a picture.
16. Farmer And Baby Chicken Costume
A farmer and baby chicken suits a cool evening outdoors. Mom wears denim overalls, a red gingham shirt, brown boots and a straw hat over two loose braids, with drawn-on freckles, rosy blush and a neutral lip. A small basket lined with checked fabric and artificial straw is her prop. The baby wears a fluffy yellow bunting or footed sleeper with orange fabric feet and a soft hood with a tiny beak and red comb. Keep the wings short and stitched to the body. When I add warmth to a yellow outfit, I use a yellow or white thermal underneath, since a dark layer shows through thin yellow fabric. A red bandanna on the outside of the carrier ties both looks together.
17. Astronaut And Baby Alien Costume
An astronaut with a baby alien leaves plenty of room for DIY. Mom wears a white utility jumpsuit with silver tape panels and mission patches, white sneakers or moon-style boots, a sleek ponytail and silver shadow. A clear plastic helmet is better carried than worn, since it narrows your view while you're holding a baby. The baby wears a lime or mint sleeper with a silver belly panel, matching booties and a soft cap with rounded antennae, with big embroidered eyes instead of any face paint. Decorate the carrier or stroller with removable silver fabric and cardboard buttons. Silver duct tape peels and leaves sticky edges a baby will find, so I stitch fabric panels on and keep the tape for Mom's suit.
18. Ringmaster And Baby Lion Costume
A ringmaster and baby lion puts Mom in a red jacket, which is more comfortable than it sounds. She wears black pants, a white blouse and a fitted red jacket trimmed with gold ribbon, black ankle boots, a small top hat, sleek waves and red lipstick. A light gold hoop or rolled paper program is her prop. The baby wears a tan sleeper with a cream belly, paw-shaped foot covers and a fluffy brown mane hood that leaves the face clear, plus a red bow tie. I'd buy a jacket with a little stretch, because a stiff blazer pulls across the back every time you lift the baby. Removable red-and-white panels on the stroller suggest a circus tent; skip animal-training props entirely.
19. Zookeeper And Baby Monkey Costume
A zookeeper and baby monkey is mostly neutral basics around a cozy animal suit. Mom wears khaki pants or shorts over leggings, a button-front safari shirt, hiking boots and a canvas hat, with a braid and natural makeup. A name badge and toy binoculars or a folded park map finish her. The baby wears a brown fleece sleeper with a tan tummy, a rounded ear hood, a stitched tail and foot covers. I sew the banana on as an appliqué rather than giving the baby a stuffed one to hold; a loose toy gets dropped on the first street. For babywearing, cover the carrier in green leaf-print fabric so the little monkey sits among the leaves.
20. Artist And Baby Paint Palette Costume
An artist with a baby paint palette is a good craft-store project. Mom wears black leggings, an oversized paint-splattered white shirt and bright canvas sneakers, with a red beret, a low bun and tidy bright eye makeup. A clean brush and a light cardboard palette are the props. The baby wears a cream sleeper with circles of red, blue, yellow, green and purple felt sewn across the front, a soft brown cap shaped like a brush tip and neutral booties. Splatter Mom's shirt with fabric paint a few days ahead and heat-set it per the paint's instructions; I'd never do it the night before, as wet paint ends up on the baby. You can also put the palette on the carrier and keep the sleeper plain.
21. Cloud And Baby Rainbow Costume
A cloud and baby rainbow is soft pastels made for first-Halloween photos. Mom wears a white sweater dress, or a white top with flowing pants, silver flats and a headband of firmly attached felt clouds, plus soft waves, shimmery silver eyes and pink cheeks. A light silver star wand with rounded edges is the prop. The baby wears a pastel striped sleeper in red, yellow, green, blue and lavender, with soft blue booties and a small white cloud cap. For younger babies, a rainbow carrier cover is the simplest version. Cotton batting looks great on Mom, but it pulls apart into wisps, so I quilt it down with stitches every few inches and keep it well away from the baby's hands.
22. Sun And Baby Moon Costume
A sun and baby moon works at any age, from newborn to walking toddler. Mom wears a flowing gold or yellow maxi dress with metallic flats, a padded sun-ray headband, soft waves, golden shadow and a peach lip, and a small star-shaped bag doubles as her prop. The baby wears a navy footed sleeper with firmly attached silver stars and a soft crescent-moon panel, a navy cap and silver booties. Metallic lamé is scratchy on the inside, so I back any silver pieces with soft cotton before sewing them on, or use a matte silver fabric. Add a plain thermal sleeper underneath on cold nights. And if Mom prefers navy, swap the roles.
23. Avocado And Baby Toast Costume
Avocado and toast is about the cutest food pairing out there. Mom wears a green sweatshirt dress, or a green top with leggings, and brown sneakers, with a large oval of light green felt on the front and a removable brown circle at the center for the pit. A high bun, green liner and neutral makeup finish her. The baby wears a tan fleece sleeper with darker brown crust panels around the edges, cream booties and a padded toast-shaped cap that leaves the face open. I make the pit removable with hook-and-loop, because a padded circle in the middle of Mom's chest is exactly where the baby wants to rest. A small felt avocado appliqué on the baby's front links the two.
24. Cookie And Baby Milk Costume
Cookies and milk needs very little sewing. Mom wears a tan sweater dress, or a sweatshirt and leggings, with flat dark-brown felt circles for chips, brown sneakers, a high ponytail, warm bronze makeup and a felt cookie-shaped crossbody. The baby wears a white sleeper with a pale blue milk-carton panel, a soft white cap, blue booties and embroidered drop shapes. Swap the roles if a round brown bunting is easier to find. Glued felt chips come off in the wash, and sometimes in a baby's mouth before that, so I stitch every one. A pale blue carrier cover can make the carton shape without touching the sleeper at all.
25. Sushi Chef And Baby Sushi Roll Costume
Sushi chef with a baby sushi roll is cleverer than it looks, and it's very carrier-friendly. Mom wears black pants, a white wrap-style chef jacket, white sneakers and a fabric headband tied above a low bun, with clean makeup and a light bamboo-style mat or big foam chopsticks. The baby wears a white sleeper loosely wrapped in a dark green carrier cover or tummy panel, with soft orange, pink and green felt pieces for fillings, black booties and a white cap. The green wrap is the seaweed, and it's the part I'm most careful with; it must stay loose and decorative, and never sit over the baby's mouth, nose, hands or the carrier's safety straps.
26. Popcorn Vendor And Baby Popcorn Costume
Red and white stripes are easy to spot across a dark street, so a popcorn vendor with a baby popcorn works well for group outings. Mom wears black pants, a white blouse, a red striped vest and supportive black shoes, plus a red bow tie, a small paper-style hat, a sleek ponytail and red lipstick. An empty striped popcorn carton becomes her candy bucket. The baby wears a white fleece sleeper with soft yellow popcorn patches, a striped bunting panel, white booties and a padded cap of firmly sewn fleece puffs. I make the puffs at least the size of a child's fist so none of them could ever be a choking piece. The simpler version is a carrier decorated as a popcorn box.
27. Coffee And Baby Donut Costume
Coffee and a baby donut is the morning duo. Mom wears a brown sweater dress or jogger set with cream sneakers and a wide cream belt as the cup sleeve, plus a white beret for the lid, loose waves, bronze eyes and rosy lipstick. A small reusable travel mug is her prop, and an actually useful one. The baby wears a tan sleeper with a round pink frosting panel, stitched sprinkles, tan booties and a soft donut tummy cushion kept flat and bendy. A thick cushion stops a baby from folding at the hips in a car seat or a carrier, so I make it with a single layer of thin batting. If the baby dislikes bulk, move the donut onto a carrier cover.
28. Fairy And Baby Mushroom Costume
A fairy and baby mushroom uses cozy woodland colors. Mom wears a sage green midi dress with nude flats, a leafy headband and light translucent wings fitted close to her back, with loose braids, soft green shadow and a luminous finish. A small basket of artificial moss and flowers is her prop. The baby wears a cream footed sleeper with a red-and-white spotted mushroom cap, a pale brown vest, cream booties and small felt leaves. Big fairy wings fight with a baby carrier, since the straps sit right where the wings attach, so I'd use short wings on elastic loops that slip over the carrier straps. For babywearing, put the mushroom cap design above the carrier and keep it off the baby's head.
29. Butterfly And Baby Caterpillar Costume
A butterfly and baby caterpillar is a sweet little story about growing up. Mom wears a fitted black top with black leggings, colorful flats and large fabric wings in blue, purple or orange, plus an antenna headband, a loose ponytail and eye makeup that picks up the wing color. Measure the wings against your doorways before you go; anything wider than your shoulders by more than a hand catches on every frame. The baby wears a segmented green sleeper with soft yellow and blue tummy panels, green booties and a rounded antenna cap with short padded tips. I like this pair in a front carrier, where the caterpillar's body stays on show. Keep loose netting off the baby.
30. Mermaid And Baby Octopus Costume
A mermaid with a baby octopus looks bright without being hard to wear. Mom pairs a teal fitted top with a shimmery purple maxi skirt cut with enough room to walk, flat metallic sandals, long beachy waves, pearl-style clips and blue-green eyes. A small shell-shaped bag replaces any loose prop. The baby wears a purple or coral sleeper with a soft hood and short padded tentacles sewn around the waist, matching booties and embroidered bubbles. I keep every tentacle above the knees so they can't tangle in the legs or a carrier's leg openings. Sandals aren't much good on a cold night, so I'd swap in metallic flats and let the skirt cover them. A blue stroller blanket makes a simple underwater scene.
31. Lifeguard And Baby Shark Costume
A lifeguard with a baby shark is beach humor that suits warmer places. Mom wears red athletic shorts or joggers with a white T-shirt, a red zip-up jacket and white sneakers, with a sporty ponytail and natural makeup. Add a visor, a whistle-shaped felt badge and a light rescue-float prop with no straps anywhere near the baby. A real whistle and a baby's ears don't mix, which is why I use a felt one. The baby wears a gray shark sleeper with a white tummy, a soft dorsal fin and a hood with rounded fabric teeth, plus gray booties. Swap in a fleece shark bunting on cold nights, and keep the fin soft so the baby can lie back in a stroller comfortably.
32. Bear And Baby Honey Bee Costume
A bear and baby honey bee is warm enough for a chilly night of trick-or-treating, since Mom is basically in a fleece hoodie. She wears brown leggings, a brown fleece hoodie with rounded ears and flat lace-up boots, a tan belly panel, braids, soft brown eyes and rosy cheeks. A light yellow bucket with a honeycomb pattern carries the candy. The baby wears a black-and-yellow striped sleeper, yellow booties, tiny fabric wings and a padded antenna hat. A yellow honey-pot carrier cover with the stripes still showing is another option. I keep sticky products and real food out of it entirely; gold felt drips and embroidered bees give the honey idea without any mess.
33. Mother Deer And Baby Fawn Costume
A mother deer with a baby fawn is the most natural-looking pair here. Mom wears a fitted brown sweater with a tan tulle midi skirt, opaque tights and brown ankle boots, with two small buns under a deer-ear headband and a brown nose, white face dots, neutral shadow and rosy cheeks. The baby wears a lighter tan sleeper with a cream belly, a small ear hood and flat white spots sewn down the back, plus tan booties. A leaf-covered carrier panel sets the woodland scene. Tulle is scratchy against a baby's legs in a carrier, so I'd put a soft cotton slip layer on top of the tulle at the front. Keep any antlers short and padded so they don't bump the baby during cuddles.
34. Scarecrow And Baby Pumpkin Costume
A scarecrow with a baby pumpkin is classic fall. Mom wears denim overalls over a plaid shirt with brown boots and a floppy straw hat, braided pigtails, warm orange shadow, rosy cheeks and simple stitch lines drawn around the mouth. Real straw sheds and pokes, so I use raffia or fabric strips at the cuffs, kept soft and short. The baby wears an orange fleece sleeper with a green leaf collar, orange booties and a padded stem cap, with black felt triangles on the tummy that stay friendly rather than scary. For babywearing, an orange carrier cover becomes the pumpkin. A small basket of artificial leaves finishes the pair and holds the candy too.
35. Skeleton And Baby Mummy Costume
A skeleton and baby mummy gives you classic Halloween with no blood or wounds. Mom wears a black long-sleeve jumpsuit, or a top and leggings printed with white bones, black sneakers and a sleek ponytail, with simple black-and-white makeup around the eyes and cheekbones kept graphic and playful. Face paint on Mom transfers onto the baby's cheek the first time you cuddle, so I set it well with powder and keep the design off the lower face. The baby wears a cream footed sleeper with overlapping beige strip prints and a matching cap, plus cream booties. Never wind real fabric strips around a baby; print or sew them flat. A small smiling face makes the mummy friendly, and reflective trim helps outdoors.
Car Seat, Carrier or Stroller on the Night
How you'll move the baby around decides which costume is practical. I settle that first, before buying a single piece.
In the car
Puffy buntings, padded tummy shapes and thick fleece suits shouldn't go under a car seat harness, because the padding compresses in a crash and leaves the straps loose. Buckle the baby in wearing the thin sleeper, then add the bunting or a blanket over the straps once they're done up. Put the costume pieces on at the other end.
In a carrier
Your body heat plus the carrier fabric plus a fleece costume adds up fast. A thin cotton sleeper is usually enough inside a carrier, and the theme can go on a cover outside it. Feel the back of the baby's neck every so often: sweaty or hot means take a layer off, even if their hands feel cool.
In a stroller
A stroller is where the bulky costumes come into their own, and where decorations on the frame can carry the theme. Keep anything you add clear of the wheels and the brake, and away from the canopy hinges, which pinch fabric when you fold it.
A Plain Sleeper Is Where Every One of These Starts
From storybook characters to animals, food jokes and old October favorites, there's a pairing here for nearly every family. The right one fits your plans, your weather, what's already in the closet and the way your baby likes to spend an evening. Start with a soft sleeper or a comfortable base layer and add the theme on top. Mom's clothes and shoes should make carrying, feeding and walking easy. Keep props light, sew every decoration down and use a bright accent or two. The baby will remember none of it, and that's fine; a simple costume they're happy in makes for better pictures than an elaborate one nobody can sit still in.
