How to Pick an Infant's Halloween Costume

You should take your time picking out your infant's first Halloween costume. You want a costume that is cute and memorable as well as comfortable for the child to wear. Keep the following in mind when you begin shopping for an infant's Halloween costume.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Find a retailer that sells Halloween costumes in infant sizes. Target and Wal-Mart both carry infant Halloween costumes. You can also find costumes online at sites like Annie's Costumes and Halloween Street.

2. Choose a one-piece costume. You will have an easier time getting your infant in and out of a one-piece outfit. It also helps prevent you from losing parts of the costume.

3. Pick an animal costume. Animal costumes are basic choices that all babies look adorable in. Consider a baby cow, elephant or puppy costume.

4. Purchase a funny costume. Your child will love to look back at pictures of themselves in a humorous outfit. Dress them up as a baby Elvis, a whoopie cushion or a car air freshener.

5. Look at the food costumes for infants. Popular choices include the pea in the pod and chili pepper baby costumes.

6. Try the costume on the infant before you purchase it. Make sure that the costume is comfortable and fits well. If the baby seems irritable in the costume, remove it immediately.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember to take lots of pictures. Kids like to look at photos of themselves in their first Halloween costume.
