Don’t you just love seeing babies dressed in cute infant Halloween costumes on trick or treat night? Nothing is sweeter than a baby in an infant costume with their angelic face peeking out from an adorable plush jumpsuit bunny outfit on the holidays or at a party.

Typically, in October, the approach of Halloween usually sends older kids and adults to either the local costume store or easier yet, to the Internet to look for an awesome new outfit. If you plan on taking your baby with you as you chaperone your other kids on that fun night, this is a great time to consider infant Halloween costumes. For newborns, their first infant Halloween costume might be a bunting type outfit that keeps them warn and cozy as well as dressed in the spirit of the night. Bunting styles or one-piece infant outfits include delightful pea pod, bumblebee, and chili pepper designs that are appropriate for both baby boys and girls. There are also infant Halloween costumes that would be more appropriate for either a baby boy or baby girl ...
... due to either the costumes concept or color. An example for a baby boy is the iconic Superman as an infant costume featuring a blue bunting with a large official Superman logo on the front as well as a red cape. For the Elvis Presley fan there is an infant Halloween costume called the Rock-a-Bye Baby, which comes as a guitar playing one-piece outfit with a hat-like headpiece that looks like the King’s famous hairstyle. For baby girls there is a pink colored lamb jumpsuit and hood costume festooned with bows that is simply adorable or a 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 are two more looks that will have folks oohing and ahhing over how sweet your little girl looks in her infant Halloween costume.

You can expect to find lots of infant Halloween costume designs that are animals ranging from monkeys and elephants, to cows, lambs, puppies, and kittens. Beloved characters from children’s storybooks and nursery rhymes also abound for this age group. The Eyeore, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger infant outfits are spot on. Just as super hero looks are popular with older kids, they are also found in infant Halloween costumes with Spiderman, Batman, Superman, and Supergirl well represented. For parents who loved the epic Star Wars movies, why not dress up your little one as the beloved and wise Yoda.

In addition to celebrating your child’s first Halloween, there are the other holidays such as the first Christmas, and the first Easter that provide opportunities for you to dress your sweetie in a special outfit. Delightful infant costumes are available that would be perfect for that photo op with your baby either sitting on Santa's lap or on the Easter Bunny’s lap. Check out Santa and elf outfits for the Christmas season and the numerous bunny outfits or adorable lamb looks for Easter.

Each infant Halloween costume product page describes what you get. Be sure to see if there are accessories for the outfit as well. Those cute accessories you see in the photos on the product pages are often not included with the outfit. However, they are usually reasonable priced and are an easy and inexpensive way to enhance that sweet little costume.

Because babies grow so quickly many infant and sometimes even a toddler costumes will be worn only once or a few times. A smart shopping tip is to purchase cute infant and toddler Halloween costumes at wholesale rather than retail prices.

Unfortunately most costume stand-alone stores and Internet stores offer those infant and toddler costume looks only at retail prices. However, one online store that sells not only toddler and infant Halloween costumes, but also costumes for the entire family at wholesale prices is the Wholesale Costume Club. Become a member for an annual fee of only $5.00, which you can easily recoup with the savings from just one purchase.

Decking out your sweetie in a cute infant Halloween costume offers lots of photo ops. By capturing those fleeting moments, you and family members will be able to enjoy those first few years in your baby’s life over and over again.
