Hello moms,
I am having a difficult time finding a costume to fit my newborn. Does anyone have any good suggestions. I have looked at babies r us and on-line, and am going to go to the halloween store. I really like the Tom Arma but the smallest are 6 months. Has anyone bought something big and had it altered?
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks!!
I just love all of your ideas and generosity, thank you so much. I don't know what I would do with out mamasource.
Try Target, Walmart, Disney.com, or Old Navy. I have recently found costumes for babies at all of them. I have a 4 month old that needs a costume. I just have not decided what I want him to be yet. Good luck!
A catalog called Sensational Beginnings (sensationalbeginnings.com) has a lot of costumes for all ages, including newborn. My daughter was 2 1/2 months old last Halloween and I found a cute scarecrow one in there. You should be able to find something there, or try ebay.

I'm partial to this bee costume but there are a lot of cute ones. http://www.buycostumes.com/Bumble-Bee-Bunting-Infant-Cost...
Have fun!
Check The Children's Place. I have gotten several costumes there and they are very good quality for a reasonable price.
where do you live and do you care what character he is
i think i have a skunk for newborns 0-3 months i can look if you are interested

This may sound crazy - but my girlfriend actually bought a costume for her 2-3 month old from Build-a-Bear last year. She bought the pirate costume for bear and it fit her son - you would have never guessed that it was really for a bear!
Old Navy has some one piece halloween outfits I would just do something like that if I were that way tha baby is more comfortable.
This place has costumes for 3 month olds. Also check the Disney store directly. You don't want a costume too cumbersome...especially the hood/hat. Have a boo-ti-ful Halloween!

Do you live near a Von Maur? I bought a costume there for a friend's baby last year. They had quite a few for little ones.
or
Once Upon a Child.

Do a google search for halloween costumes and you find more than you could ask for. It also couldn't hurt to try amazon.
I just saw some newborn costumes at walmart and the childrens place the other day when i was out. Also another place to check is burlington coat factory. They always have cute stuff for all sizes hope this helps.
I found a lot of choices here: http://www.infashionkids.com/bacobahaco.html
I particularly liked the hot dog, ROFL!
Try one step ahead. You can order on-line or have a catalogue sent to order from. They have a partner company that I cannot remember the name of that has many costumes as well. It has been a while since my children were that little.
I found newborn costumes at Big Lots. Very cute monster, puppy, bunny, ladybug, angel and a few more.
I love Old Navy for Halloween costumes.
Hi-
Once Step Ahead has costumes for infants along with alot of other great things. www.onestepahead.com
Hope that helps.
How about Old Navy? They always had costumes for little ones.
I got one from Lillian Vernon catolog so many years ago, but those are the only places I can think of right now. Good luck!
A while ago I found an ear of corn costume on e-bay that I think was 3-6 months. I think it was from Old Navy, which makes me think maybe Old Navy has stuff there. :-) If you didn't already try e-bay, I sure would!
Hi V.,
I think you could probably still get the Tom Arma you want. I checked out their website and the 6-12 month category is still pretty small. Did you check out the sizing link on the site? The measurements for 6-12 months are pretty small. I also noticed that if the costume number begins with RM, then the measurements are even more specific. If your two month old is 20" inches long, he will probably be fine in a 6-12 month costume depending on the style you want. Our little one is already 26" inches long and he's 4.5 months. So I think we would need to go up to the next size even though he doesn't meet the age requirement....he's just long. So, if you haven't checked out the specific sizing info, give it a shot...these seem to run small. Just my opinion. :) Hope this helps. Otherwise, you can check out One Step Ahead costumes...I have puchased from them before for one of our other boys when he was a baby. Good Luck! :)
I saw a picture of a baby wrapped in a brown blanket with fake lettuce and tomatoes, and a lettuce hat, he was a burrito

When my son was that little we dressed him in pj's and then wrapped him in ace wrap very loosly so that he looked like a mummy placed him in the stoller and took his sister 6 yrs. old trick or treating, he was a hit with everyone.

I got my daughter's costume at The Kid's Closet in Rochester. She's almost 18 months. I don't know if there were newborn outfits there or not. But it would probably be worth the trip or at the very least a phone call.
If you're just looking to get cute halloween photos, I would suggest finding a portrait studio near your home (Sadies, Portrait Innovations, Picture People, JC Penney, Sears). They all have "props" for Halloween. Don't waste your money on a costume this year.
What about Old Navy and/or Baby Gap? I'm sure I saw costumes on their sites. Not sure if you're looking for something more unique, though....
Where do you live? I think I have a pumpkin costume that my son wore the day he was born. Let me know if you are intersted.
I just found some cute newborn halloween costumes at Carson Piere Scott. They were "Carters" brand so I'm sure you could find them at the Carters stores too.
My son was about 6 weeks old last Halloween, and I found him a sweet little pumpkin costume at Target. I also saw some cute newborn costumes at Party City last week. Thanks for posting this--it reminded me I need to get looking for a costume too!
old navy has a couple that will fit newborn. That's where i got mine and my son will be 2 months old by halloween. They only have a few styles.
My son was premature so around Halloween he was about the size of a 2 month old. I found a CUTE pumpkin costume at Babies R Us. I think I still have it if you want it. Also, check e-bay.
I bought a really, really cute 0-3 month Pooh sleeper last year at Sears (this is a sleeper with a hood, but it's basically a Winnie the Pooh costume). You can check to see if they still have them.
I was just at Carters they have some costume for 0-3 month and look at Children's Place also.
have you looked at a 2nd hand kids' store?? We shopped at one last week that actually had a 3 month size kitty costume labeled as a doll outfit. Or maybe speaking of dolls,you might look for a doll outfit,especially if she isn't too big. Walmart has a nice selection of onesies,etc that could work for a costome. Be creative and dream up someting on your own made out of a onesie or gown. Decorate a hat..... flip thru a mom magazine for some ideas or walk thru a fabric store for ideas. Godd luck J.
Try craigslist.com - I have seen tons of "used" (what's that, worn once, maybe twice at the most?) costumes for all ages, including little ones. And the prices are good too. Good luck! J.
