Finding the right baby pajamas for your little one can be tricky. There are a lot of options, and babies grow fast, so sizing can also be an issue. We’ve put together this guide to help you understand how to choose the best pajamas for your baby and learn more about how sizing works.
Ensuring that your baby is comfortable at night is a top priority for parents, so when your child is still young, it makes sense to choose pajamas instead of pajama sets, as they can be held in place and cannot be twisted. Depending on the temperature of your baby’s sleeping room, you can wear a one-piece vest and baby sleeping bag if needed.
What Are Baby Pajamas?
Pajamas are like onesies for babies. They are a cosy pouch that keeps your baby comfortable while sleeping, ensuring warmth and comfort throughout the night. They are a popular choice for babies and toddlers because they don’t get kicked off at night, meaning babies can stay warm and safe. The cozy cocoon of your pajamas is also a great signal to your baby that it’s time to sleep.
Many people are confused about baby pajamas and baby pants, but in reality, they are the same thing. Babysuit is a generic name, while babygrow is an American suit brand. We love the beautiful patterns on our My Little Pie and Kissy Kissy pyjamas, both of which are made from super-soft stretch cotton to ensure your baby has the most comfortable sleep possible.
Does the Baby Wear Anything Under the Pajamas?
It depends on the temperature of the room. During the colder months, you may want to pack some tight-fitting tank tops for your baby to wear under your pajamas. This will ensure that the baby is as warm as possible. When the temperature is above 27 degrees, it is fine to wear only a vest and diapers and no pajamas.
Does My Baby Need to Wear Socks in Pajamas?
The good thing about pajamas is that they cover your baby’s feet, so you don’t have to wear bulky socks that can be easily pushed off by your little one.
How Do I Choose the Right Size for My Baby’s Pajamas?
Your baby’s pajamas should have a little room to move around so that they can move freely during the night. The baby’s feet should reach out to the bottom of the garment, leaving a little space if needed.
It’s best to avoid buying pajamas that are too big. When clothing is tightened, your baby’s head should not slide through the neck hole. It would help if you bought a set of clothes that are appropriate for your child’s age and not older than your child.
Baby Sleeping Bag
In some climates, pajamas are enough for your baby to get a good night’s sleep, especially in warm climates and hot seasons. However, in cold climates, more layers may be required. You can layer your pajamas with a tank top or use a baby sleeping bag as a safe way to keep your baby at the ideal temperature throughout the night. The baby sleeping bag is fastened to the shoulders and sides so that the baby does not break free from the sleeping bag and thus stays absolutely warm.
Tartine et Chocolat has a gorgeous range of padded baby sleeping bags that provide your baby with a soft and comfortable cocoon to rest in. We also offer ultra-soft muslin sleeping bags from Aden + Anais for a lightweight option for the warmer months.
