The Best Kids’ Halloween Costumes

But if you or your child is in need of inspiration, you’re in the right place. We asked multiple parents what they’re planning for their kids this year, polled tweens about what’s in, and did some window shopping of our own to find cool costumes.

Best baby socks

Socks — and the socks you choose — become even more important as baby begins to toddle around the house. You’ll want to be certain to outfit baby with a pair of no-slip socks to encourage those early steps and prevent any toppling over. Read on for the best baby socks to meet every need.


Best Baby Socks Overall

LA Active Athletic Crew Grip Socks

LA Active

 

These affordable crew socks have garnered thousands of rave reviews from parents. Why? First and foremost, the thick cotton/poly/Spandex blend socks really and truly do stay put on little feet. The soles are covered from heel to toe with non-slip grippers that help prevent slipping and sliding in new walkers and tots who are always on the go. While they’re labeled as “do not tumble dry,” in practice, parents report they haven’t had any issues after months of tossing them in the dryer on low heat. One potential downside is that the thick socks may not work with sneakers that are tight-fitting, though they tend to work better with boots.


Best Baby Knee High Socks

Hudson Baby 8-Pack Forest Knee-High Socks in Grey

Knee High Socks

Taller socks like these that hit just below the knee naturally stay on better since they aren’t easy for baby to kick off. Plus, they help to keep baby’s ankles and calves warm should your little one’s pants ride up or if you’re dressing baby in shorts for the too cute vintage look. The woodsy animals are pretty adorable and come in a pink version, too. The soft and stretchable socks are machine-washable.


Best Baby Socks That Stay On

Sock Ons Classic Socks in White

Socks That Stay On

Just as the name promises, these sock covers really do help socks stay on. Layer the Socks On over a regular pair of socks, and the open toe and heel design helps them work with just about any style of socks. The combo helps to keep your little one’s toes nice and toasty warm, while limiting the ability to kick the socks off (meaning you won’t be putting them back on 100 times a day). Talk about a win-win! The cotton socks are machine-washable.


Best Baby Socks With Grips

Touched by Nature 12-Pack Non-Skid Socks

Socks With Grips

The soles of these tiny socks are covered with grippers to help your baby — well — get a grip when walking on hardwood, marble, or tile floors and prevent any toppling over, which could result in boo boos. The comfy socks are made primarily of organic cotton with polyester and Spandex thrown in for a touch of stretch. While they can be worn with shoes, you’ll get more life out of them if you reserve them for the at-home, shoe-free days. In addition to pink, they also come in a selection of blues, grays, and blacks.


Best Baby Ruffle Socks

Epeius Baby-Girls Eyelet Turn Cuff Ruffle Lace Socks Triple Lace Dressy Socks

Ruffle Socks

These sweet little eyelet socks are so cute they give even your baby’s toes a run for their money. (Okay, maybe they’re not that cute, but close!) The cuff is ribbed to help the socks stay in place and the triple layer lace trim really gives them that frilly effect. They’re practically made to wear with classic patent Mary Janes.


Best Baby Wool Socks

Woolino Wool Baby Socks

Wool Socks

Forget about the itchy scratchy wool socks of your youth — these wool socks are made of merino wool which has fine, itch-free fibers (we promise!). The other benefits are that it’s temperature regulating and able to absorb up to 30 percent of its weight in water, so baby’s tiny tootsies will be warm, without getting too hot, and won’t get damp. The OEKO-TEX 100 certified socks are made in Denmark and Latvian of Australian sheep and can go in the washer.


Best Baby Fuzzy Socks

Cozyway Baby Fluffy Socks

Fuzzy Socks

These ultra soft and breathable microfiber cotton socks are so comfy, they have some parents wishing they came in adult sizes. The ankle is lined with a flexible elastic to prevent the socks from falling down or slipping off. They’re perfect for bedtime, but with non-slip dots on the sole, they can be worn during the daytime, too. However, keep in mind that the thick fleece socks aren’t the best choice for wearing with shoes.


Best Baby Walking Socks

Yenzat Baby Anti-Slip Non-Skid Socks Grip

Walking Socks

If your babe is resistant to wearing shoes, try these walking socks as a transitional step to help her get used to having her feet covered. The socks have a stay-put strap and a non-skid, anti-slip bottom that make them ideal for beginning walkers. They help to keep baby’s feet warm, though they may not be the best choice for colder days. The combed cotton, nylon, and Spandex socks are machine-washable.

Baby clothes for the first six weeks

Planning your newborn’s wardrobe can be tricky, but it’s a lot of fun. There are so many little things to remember, from socks and hats to pajamas and bodysuits. To help you sort through the many options available, here’s a handy rundown of everything you’ll need for the first six weeks and beyond. Depending on how big your baby is and how fast he or she grows, this wardrobe may be everything you’ll need from birth until your baby is 6 weeks old.


Newborn clothing basics

What you need and why

Your baby will spend almost all of the first three months sleeping and eating, so you’ll want plenty of comfy sleepers, gowns, and pajamas, as well as a few simple outfits and accessories. Fancy going-home outfits and special-occasion clothes are nice to have for pictures, but for everyday life you’ll need durable clothes and accessories that can handle any messy situation.

Keep in mind that your little one will likely outgrow newborn clothes in a few months or sooner – in fact, some babies skip straight to 3-month-old sizes. So try not to spend a lot, and buy basics in a range of sizes. Once your baby is born and tests out his or her wardrobe, you’ll quickly learn which clothes work best and you can buy multiples of items that you love. New babies need to be changed frequently, of course, so the more baby clothes you have, the less often you’ll need to do laundry!

Here’s what you’ll need for your newborn .


For comfy nights and easy days

Your newborn will wear these one-piece footed sleepers around the clock, so buy a bunch! You’ll want to have six or more on hand. They’re 100 percent cotton, and since the zipper goes all the way down the front, it’s easy to get your baby’s legs in and out for diaper changes.


Super-soft and warm as toast

Pair these ultra cushy stretchy pants in GOTS-certified organic cotton with infant bodysuits to create an instant outfit. You’ll want four to six pairs to keep your baby’s legs nice and warm.


Great for layering

It’s nice to have lots of bodysuits for your newborn – three to six each of long-sleeved for colder months and short-sleeved for the rest of the year. These are classics, with cute patterns and snaps at the crotch to make diaper changes easier. The expandable necklines make it easy to get them over your baby’s head. Pro tip: In case of a massive diaper blowout, you can pull these down over your baby’s shoulders and body (rather than over the head) to keep the mess away from your baby’s face.


Easy-open bottom for simple diaper changes

Some parents swear by classic baby sleeper gowns for easy diaper changes. You just push the gown up with no need to unzip or unsnap anything. (This makes a difference when you’re changing 10 to 14 diapers a day!) These Yoga Sprouts gowns are as cute as they come, and can be pulled off over your baby’s head or down your baby’s body. Start with a set and see if you prefer them to footed sleepers.


Added warmth and cuteness

Cover your baby’s cute little noggin in these knit beanies. They’re made of silky-soft organic cotton and help keep your baby comfortable and warm. The top knot adds a sweet flair and makes the hat stay on more firmly, too. Three should be enough, unless you’re planning to be out and about a lot in chilly weather. Note: In warmer months, you’ll want a wide-brimmed sun hat for your baby, too.


Keep your baby’s feet toasty

When your newborn isn’t wearing a footed sleeper, it’s nice to have baby socks or one or two pairs of booties to keep those tiny feet warm. These adorable booties come with hook and loop fasteners so they won’t fall off.


Buying guide

What to look for in newborn clothing

Between spitting up and diaper overflow, newborns are constantly needing their clothes changed. Make it easier for yourself by choosing clothes that go on and off without a struggle. Look for shirts with snaps that open in the front or on the side, or that have wide neck openings. Choose sleepers that zip (or, if you prefer, snap) and pants with a loose, stretchy elastic waistband.

No matter how adorable they look, pass on infant clothes that will make it hard to change a diaper (we’re looking at you, baby “skinny jeans”). Thankfully, most baby bodysuits and one-piece outfits have snaps at the crotch.

Look for clothes that are soft and gentle on your newborn’s sensitive skin. Some experts recommend all cotton, although soft cotton blends also work for many babies. Avoid itchy or irritating embroidery, ruffles, lace, and decorations.

(Note: If clothes have decorations like bows, ruffles, patches, and buttons, make sure they’re firmly attached so they can’t come off and become a choking risk. Remove any drawstrings on necks or waistbands – they’re a strangulation hazard. Major baby-clothing brands avoid these risky embellishments, but homemade items, hand-me-downs, and pieces from small companies may have them.)

Another caution: “tagless” clothing, where size and washing information are printed on the back of the neck, sometimes causes skin irritation. If you notice your baby has redness in the area, switch to clothing with tags – you can always cut them out.

Finally, new clothing is often treated with chemicals, so make sure to wash all items before your baby wears them.
