Baby's first day home is an unforgettable moment. Choosing a homecoming outfit combines comfort, safety and beautiful appearance, as this outfit is often the first memory of the baby's early days and is immortalized in countless photos. In our selection you will find soft and high-quality baby clothes, with which you can create the perfect outfit for your little one. In this article, we share a few tips on how to put together a beautiful, comfortable and practical homecoming outfit for your baby.
1. Choose soft materials and neutral tones
A warm and soft 100% cotton knit outfit, such as a baby's knit jumpsuit, is an excellent choice for your baby's homecoming outfit. Depending on the season, the material of the homecoming outfit can be cotton or merino wool, which feels comfortable against sensitive skin and helps regulate body temperature. Also pay attention to how easy the outfit is to put on and take off and how easy it is to change diapers. Buttoned options are often more convenient than zippered ones, as they allow you to check the diaper situation or the healing of the navel by opening one button, without having to open the entire outfit from top to bottom. Choose a neutral shade, such as off-white or beige, which is easy to combine with other clothing items and creates a gentle color scheme around the newborn.
2. Add soft baby slippers to your outfit
A newborn needs warmth from head to toe. Soft baby slippers are the perfect addition to every baby's homecoming outfit, as they keep their little feet warm and protect their delicate skin. Slippers also help maintain a consistent body temperature, which is important because newborns cannot regulate their body temperature as well as older children or adults. In addition, slippers provide soft, comfortable support for the feet, which increases the baby's sense of security and thus their calmness. The adorable baby slippers in our selection not only provide warmth and protection, but their cute shades and soft material also complete the outfit.
3. Complete your baby's homecoming outfit with a cute hat
A baby bonnet, beanie or hat is an essential part of a baby's homecoming outfit, as a newborn baby easily loses heat through their head. A baby's body temperature regulation is not yet developed, so a hat protects against the cold and helps keep the baby comfortably warm, especially in cooler conditions or immediately after birth, when temperature control is especially important.
4. Knotted Gown as a homecoming outfit
Tie-dye outfits are a really popular option for both homecoming outfits and everyday baby wear in general, as they are so incredibly convenient, versatile and long-lasting. The outfit is super easy to put on and take off thanks to its open bottom and its beautifully tied side fastening with ribbons, and changing diapers is easy as there are no buttons, snaps or zippers on the outfit. The outfit works in all situations both as a garment and as a substitute for a sleeping bag/swaddle, because thanks to its adjustability, it creates a similar confined space for the baby and thus a safe feeling as a sleeping bag or swaddle. If you want, you can wear a thin cotton bodysuit under the tie-dye outfit, or you can also use it as such with just a diaper.
5. Welcome home, little darling!
A beautiful homecoming outfit doesn't have to be complicated; a simple and soft outfit always works best. Remember that the most important thing in an outfit is your baby's comfort and safety.
