Dressing your baby in cute outfits is fun any day of the week, but Halloween is when you’ll really have a blast. Whether you decide to go all out and construct a costume from scratch or buy one, there are tons of cute ways to enjoy the sweet, dress-up holiday (even if they're too little to munch on the spoils of their hard work). Plus, once the holiday has wrapped, you can hang on to your costumes to use for dress-up play later on. We’ve found options that can incorporate your baby carrier for your littlest trick-or-treater and picks that are comfy and cute. 

Here are some ridiculously adorable Halloween costumes for your baby.

Halloween Costumes for Newborns

Brand new babies can be uncomfortable in standard Halloween costumes, but that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on the festivities. Costumes designed for tiny babies can be as simple as a printed swaddle or a quirky onesie. The simpler, the better.

Halloween Costumes for Older Babies

For babies past the newborn stage but not yet toddlers, you’ll find even more costume options. You can keep it simple or pull out all the stops for a more elaborate get-up. Here are some options we love.

One Piece Halloween Costumes

One-piece baby costumes are great because they make diaper access easy for quick changes, they're comfortable and since October weather can change by the hour, they’re perfect for layering.

Halloween Costumes for Twins

It might not be in a rule book, but it just feels right to coordinate twins’ Halloween costumes. You can go for an exact match (like two dogs or two pumpkins) or a pair of things that go together (like Thing 1 and Thing 2 or ketchup and mustard).

Character Halloween Costumes

Even if your baby is too tiny to even identify who their favorite TV or movie character is, you can choose a costume that represents one of your childhood favorites, like Winnie the Pooh or Buzz Lightyear, for some nostalgia.

Baby Wearing Halloween Costumes

For very young babies who’d rather be in a baby carrier while trick or treating, a costume that can work while baby-wearing will ensure they’re comfortable and won’t overheat.

DIY Halloween Costumes

Calling all of the creative parents—now’s your time to shine! And even if you aren’t a Pinterest-level DIY’er, brands like Primary make it easy to bring your unique costume idea to life. With a few extra accessories that you probably already have lying around at home, you can create a one-of-a-kind costume.

Family Halloween Costumes

Your whole crew can coordinate in matching family Halloween costumes. We included sets that can be purchased together, but you can also do an à la carte version where you buy each costume separately to bring your vision to life.

Maternity Halloween Costumes

If you happen to be pregnant during Halloween and want to get in on the fun, a cute costume that plays up your bump is perfect. There are a ton of DIY costumes that you can create or you can choose one that makes your bump the star of the show.
