Having a new baby is a wonderful time filled with rewards and challenges.
Celebrating their first Halloween, Christmas and birthday are fun-filled times that are always made better with some adorable fancy dress costumes. If you're looking for some great fancy dress ideas for your baby, here at Kidadl we've done all the legwork for you.
With comfort and practicality in mind, there are so many options out there that would make a great addition to a family costume idea (mini-me costumes anyone?), or to just let your child shine on their own.
From superhero costumes to gorgeous Christmas fancy dress outfits, we have searched far and wide to bring you the best baby fancy dress clothes around.
If your baby likes to make their presence known, this could be the fancy dress costume for them. Time To Dress Up's colourful, bright dragon outfit is detailed and high quality, as well as being cosy enough to keep baby warm and comfortable. Plus, the wings are detachable so you can adjust for comfort. One of our favourite features of this costume is the ability to quickly change your child's nappy, as it is put on like a normal babygrow with poppers to fasten round the legs.
If you're on the lookout for a sweet Halloween gift, or have a themed photoshoot in mind, this personalised baby bodysuit is perfect. Made completely from cotton, your baby will be snug and comfortable, and the personalised message on the front saying 'Little Pumpkin [baby's name]' adds a special touch. For a comfy little Halloween outfit that baby boys or girls aren't going to get fussy in, this option is a winner.
For something baby can wear all year round, this adorable bear romper ticks all the boxes. As soon as we saw this adorable cosy outfit with tiny bear ears, we couldn't resist adding it to our list.
