Halloween Costume Picks for Babies

In my opinion, there is nothing cuter than baby Halloween costumes, particularly those darling buntings. My own kids were about 2 months old for their first Halloweens and I dressed them to the max. Take a look:

R. as peapod, 10 weeks old, Halloween 2003.


S. as Superman, 12 weeks old, Halloween 2006.


Sadly, they have long outgrown these cutie patootie styles (this year's choices? Sleeping Beauty and Yo Gabba Gabba's Plex). But here are my top picks for this year's crop of infant-sized Halloween threads:

Stinger Bee Infant/Toddler Costume ($34.99, 6-12mos-2T) at Costume Express


Sock Monkey Set ($88, 12-24mos to size 4) at Chasing Fireflies


Baby Bat ($38, one size fits 0-6mos) at Chasing Fireflies


Crayola Cuties Costumes ($29.98; size 18m-4T) at Lillian Vernon


Tootsie Roll Baby Bunting Infant Costume (one size, $21.24) at Meijer

Banana Infant Bunting ($15, 0-6mos) at Target
