Baby Halloween Costumes

Baby's first Halloween is really about one thing: the photo. So keep the costume cute, cozy, and blissfully uncomplicated. Soft rompers and easy one-pieces are your friends here. Think tiny pumpkin, fuzzy little animal, or sweet ghost, with nothing scratchy, stiff, or overly fussy getting in the way.

Comfort is the deciding vote. Choose something baby can happily wiggle around in, and add an easy layer underneath if October happens to be chilly where you live. Dressing the rest of the boo crew? The kids' Halloween costumes bring the drama, while Halloween pyjamas keep things festive long after the candy is gone. For everything from everyday layers to tiny finishing touches, you'll find it in baby.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should a baby wear for Halloween?

Keep it soft, comfortable, and easy to move in. A simple romper or cozy one-piece gives you the costume moment without a lot of fuss. Avoid loose pieces, tight elastic, or anything baby can easily pull off and put in their mouth. If it's cold out, add warm layers underneath.

What size Halloween costume should I buy for a baby?

Shop for the size baby will be wearing come late October. Between sizes? Go up. A little extra room is much easier to work with than a costume that feels snug five minutes after you put it on. Since sizing varies by brand, check the product page for height and weight guidance before ordering.

Do babies need a costume for their first Halloween?

Need one? Not exactly. Want one for the camera roll? Probably. A Halloween-print sleeper or festive romper is an easy alternative to a full costume, and you'll get plenty more wear out of it throughout spooky season.
