  • June 28, 2010 1:06 pm

If this is going to be your baby’s first Halloween, perhaps you’ve got a party planned to celebrate the occasion. or maybe you’ve been invited to a Halloween gathering at a friend’s home. in either case, your baby will need a smart looking costume that is both cute and practical.

If you’re frugal parents, or have a limited budget, there are a great many options available to you. The first of these is creating your own version of a Halloween costume for your baby. make use of things you’ve got around the house. Hats, sleepers and sweat suits are a good base for strategically sewing or gluing pieces of felt or scraps of fabric. They can also be dyed, particularly if they are made of cotton.

Get creative, and of course, make certain that anything you put on the costume will stay securely attached. consider sewing a felt badge and a fabric belt onto a bright red sleeper. With a stuffed toy dalmatian added, your baby could be the only firefighter at the Halloween party. or, if baby has an orange sleeper, you might paint a jack-o-lantern face onto the front, and outfit him or her as the most charming pumpkin ever!

If you choose a store bought costume over a homemade one, you could visit a department store or browse online. Your baby could be dressed as a monkey, a cute little bat, a bumblebee, or a ladybug. The possibilities are endless. Dress him or her as a reptile, amphibian or a fruit or veggie! another option is buying a one-piece bodysuit with a Halloween emblem on the front such as a black cat or a pumpkin patch. you will find that the prices of baby Halloween costumes are quite affordable, and if you’d like to spend more, you certainly could.

When deciding on a costume for your baby, functionality is key. Baby’s diaper will probably need to be changed at some point, and the process should be as stress-free as possible. this means quick and easy access. good fit and comfort are also key, because if your baby isn’t comfortable, chances are that you as parents won’t be either. make sure the costume is suitable for the climate and any weather challenges you might be encountering. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your baby’s first Halloween will be memorable, for all of the right reasons.
