Hey, what are you dressing your baby as for Halloween? My daughter’s going as a pumpkin, but I’m looking for something more creative, any fun ideas? I wish I asked earlier before getting the Target pumpkin costume, although it’s super cute.

I’m a HUGE Halloween enthusiast and a first-time mom with a due date of October 10. I’m having a hard time finding costumes for my little one because the smallest size available at stores like Target, HalloweenCostumes.com, Walmart, and Party City is 0-6 months. That’s quite a range when you think about it—what 3-week-old will fit into something meant for a 6-month-old?
I’m considering a couple of ideas using regular infant clothes with accessories to match costumes my husband and I already have, so the whole family can coordinate:
A) Pirate: Pair a red and white striped onesie with black pants, and maybe a bandana (if our baby girl will tolerate it) for photos.
B) Kuzko’s Poison Bottle (from The Emperor’s New Groove, as my husband and I have Kronk and Yzma costumes), Dress our LO in a pink sleepsack (to represent the pink poison) and a tan beanie (to represent the cork stopper). We could safely pin a sheet of paper with the skull/llama label to the sleepsack.
Does anyone have any advice or other ideas for what we could dress her up as? Thanks in advance!

I would advise lowering your expectations because you will just be three weeks postpartum. I adore Halloween, but I hardly had the stamina to take a shower, much less get the whole family dressed up in matching costumes, three weeks after giving birth. Naturally, every person is unique, but this year, I wouldn’t spend a lot of time and effort on a costume.
For what occasion are you dressing her up? Where are you taking her? I would grab a standard onesie or pair of footie pajamas with a skeleton or pumpkin on them and call it good if it’s just for photos.
Wild Thing Baby Halloween Costume. This cute Wild Thing baby Halloween costume is inspired by the beloved children’s book that your little one will soon love. It’s easy to make, so you won’t get frustrated putting it together.
