Baby Halloween Costume

Cute and Cuddly Characters

Infant and baby halloween costumes need to be selected with a few comfort and safety aspects in mind for your child. When selecting, or trying to make a costume for Halloween, ideally it should fit them as snugly as any of their other clothes so that they are not scratchy or uncomfortable. Nobody needs a grumpy baby making the day difficult simply because they are itchy!

Speaking of how they will look, that is your next major consideration. Do you want a baby vampire or mini witch? Not many people do, most go for sweeter Halloween imagery like pumpkins, angels or even a cute animal like a rabbit or bumble bee when thinking about baby costumes for Halloween.

A simple but fun newborn or baby costume for halloween.

Lots of other standard Halloween adornments generally will not be appropriate for babies- excessive face paints, wigs and the like will only upset a small baby. A bit of eyeliner or facepaint on the nose will generally suffice for the 'cuteness factor' but any more than that will be difficult to get on your baby for starters, and probably even harder to wash off. Depending on their age, they may wear a simple mask for a while.

Likewise with accessories, safety must be kept in mind for the baby- remember they will put anything they can into their mouth so double check your costume to be sure that it's baby friendly!

A couple of really easy costumes which you can make at home with just a tiny bit of hand sewing or even a glue gun if you really can't sew, are-

Super Hero- requires a simple red cape which you can cut out of jersey so that it's comfortable and a soft foam mask. Now all you have to do is get your youngster to keep the mask on!

Cute Cow- requires a white jumpsuit with some black felt circles sewn/glued on, white & pink felt ears which are attached to the hood. You can use a length of rope, frayed at the end for a tail. If your baby suit does not have a hood you can always attach the ears to a headband.

Black Cat- similar to the cow can be done for a cat. Dye a jumpsuit black, sew/glue on black & pink felt ears and attach a tail of rope which you can dye when you are dying the jumpsuit.

Ladybird/ Ladybug - dress your baby in black and use a red vest as the ladybird's body. Sew/glue black felt circles to the body. Make antennae by twirling pipe cleaners around a headband or stick to a black cap/beanie.

Whatever you go with, your baby will be the talk of the party, whether they are a Little Devil or a cutey Lettuce Head- just be ready for them to be the butt of a few Halloween jokes if they are lucky enough to be dressed as a Whoopie Cushion or a Skunk!
