You have probably seen babies dressed in the cutest infant costumes on Halloween, as well as other holidays, and at parties. Nothing is sweeter than a baby in an infant costume with an angelic face peeking out from an adorable plush jumpsuit bunny outfit.

The approach of Halloween usually sends older kids and adults to the local costume store or better yet, to the Internet to look for a new super outfit. If you have a newborn or slightly older baby, this is a great time to buy infant costumes. For newborns, their first infant Halloween costume might be a bunting type outfit that keeps them cozy and warm, as well as costumed. Popular bunting styles include the pea pod, bumblebee, or chili pepper looks that are great for both boys and girls. Just as there are gender specific outfits for older kids, there are also infant Halloween costumes that would be more appropriate for either a baby boy or baby girl. Examples for a boy include the superman infant costume which features a blue bunting with a large official Superman logo ...
... on the front as well as a red cape, or a fun Elvis Presley type costume called the Rock-a-Bye Baby costume with a hat-like head piece that looks like the King’s famous hair style. For baby girls there is a pink Supergirl outfit with a bright hot pink cape, a sweet bunny look with a pink white one-piece jumpsuit with an under the chin tie-on headpiece to which bunny ears are attached, or a multi colored fuzzy Wiggle Worm bunting costume with a cute hat with antennae.

Infant costumes include numerous animal looks from monkeys and elephants, to cows, lambs, puppies, and kittens. Characters from children’s storybooks and nursery rhymes abound for this age group. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger infant outfits are spot on. Super heroes are also popular with Spiderman, Batman, Superman, and Supergirl well represented. If you are parents who loved the epic Star Wars movies, your little one can be dressed up as the beloved and wise Yoda.

The early years in your children's life go by so quickly. In just the first three years, they will experience their first teeth, first steps, and first celebratory holidays. Similar to their first Halloween, their first Christmas, and even first Easter are equally as memorable, so consider buying infant costumes for their first photo op with Santa or the Easter Bunny. Santa and elf outfits are available for the Christmas season while numerous bunny outfits or adorable lamb looks would be perfect at Easter.

As you read the descriptions on the infant costume product pages, be sure to see if there are accessories associated with the outfit. Accessories are often not included with the outfit even though you see them in the photograph. Fortunately, accessories are reasonable priced and are an easy and inexpensive way to enhance that already great costume.

Since babies grow so quickly, you may find that any infant and sometimes even toddler costume you buy will often be worn once or twice. Therefore a smart way to create a lasting memory and a great photo op without tossing money out the window is to purchase infant and toddler Halloween costumes at the lowest price possible, which is usually at a wholesale price.

Most costume stand-alone stores and Internet stores offer infant and toddler costumes at retail prices. However, one online store, the Wholesale Costume Club, sells costumes not only for babies and toddlers, but also for the entire family at wholesale prices once you become a member for an annual fee of only $5.00. You will easily recoup that fee after just one purchase.

Dressing up your little one in a delightful infant costume provides plenty of opportunities to use your camera to capture those sentimental memories you and family members will enjoy forever. Any new parent with a Facebook page probably has loads of albums with those “first” images to share with friends and proud grandparents!
