You parents of newborns: Well, it’s likely you’ll do nothing on Halloween. but you’re missing your last chance to have an adult-style Halloween. If your baby has no dramatic bedtime ritual, beyond you swaddling him up and shushing until you pass out, then why not do what YOU like to do.
Of course you want your baby to be charming in a witty costume, but who has the mental energy ideal now? (I don’t.) use one of my three newborn Halloween costume suggestions:
1- An iPod. wear this onesie. Done.
2- An organic vegetable. These soft cotton baby bags are not the 3D polyester costumes you see in the catalogs for babies. They are actually really relaxing pjs from GreenBabies. We have the carrot version. If you’re ambitions, use a brown sharpie to draw some horizontal lines to indicate additionally that it’s a carrot. matching hat optional.
3- A grown up. dress baby in any ridiculously adult clothes you have. (We had a sports coat in size 3-6). accent baby with a mustache, cell phone, automobile keys, or laptop computer made out of cardboard.
For those who are not in so much of a newborn haze, read our Halloween ideas from last year:
