The footie files: building a first wardrobe for baby

Ask any parent of a one-year-old what their baby actually wore all year, and the answer is almost always the same: footies. One piece, no lost socks, no riding-up tops — just zip and done. It's the uniform of the first year for a reason.

Our baby sleepwear collection covers sizes 0–24 months in the softest everyday fabrics, from classic rainbow stripes to sweet cherry and cloud prints. Because babies outgrow sizes every few months, we'd suggest three to five footies per size: one on the baby, one in the wash, one in the diaper bag, and a spare for the surprise only a baby can produce.

When you're shopping ahead, buy the next size before you need it. Growth spurts don't send calendar invitations, and there's nothing sadder than a favorite footie that suddenly won't zip.
