    27 Cold-Weather Must-Haves For Baby’s First Fall

    Snug as a bug in a rug.

    1. A set of organic cotton footie pajamas perfect for chilly days and nights and babies who simply refuse to wear socks. You know, the baby whose sole purpose in life is to see how far and fast they can fling the sock across the room the second you turn your back.

    Promising review: "Love these for my chunky baby. She is pretty big for her age, about 14 lbs at 2.5 months old, so she is in the 3-6 month size. They fit well, but still have space for her to grow into them. I love the thickness! They don’t feel cheep and thin, but still not too thick that I am worried about her overheating with this and a swaddle in California weather." —Amanda Morasco

    Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes preemie–6-9M and 35 styles). 

    2. A pair of fleece booties you can even get in a woodsy moose design because for some reason, we like to dress the kids in every kind of animal we can find. But to be fair, aren't those little antlers cute? 🥹

    Promising review: "These are great at keeping our little lady’s feet warm. She isn’t walking, but there are little grips on the bottom that I think will work well. We have problems keeping shoes on our 6-month-old, but these she has a hard time pulling off!" —RJolley

    "I love these little booties. I always have trouble keeping socks on my kid's feet. These are the perfect solution because you can tighten them so they don't fall off!" —Vpile

    Get it from Amazon for $7.06+ (available in sizes 0-3–18-24M and in 62 styles). 

    3. A sherpa trucker jacket sure to keep them warm while you go to the pumpkin patch. The jacket has a snap up design so you don't have to worry about trying to fit those tiny buttons through the tiny button holes.

    Carters

    Get it from Carter's for $30 (originally $40; available in sizes NB–24M). 

    4. A sleeper set with a wide-neck top and pull-on pants. These pants are great because they're still footed, but being able to slip them off and on makes changing diapers easier, too.

    Promising review: "So cute and soft. My baby just turned 6 months, and the size 2 fit her with just a tiny bit of extra room. Love the color!! Definitely worth the buy for your own baby or as a gift." —Alexis & Ondray

    15. A long-sleeve romper with matching pants available in more than 30 colors and styles that baby can roll around in all fall long. 

    Promising review: "This outfit looks adorable. I got a 24-months for my 18-month baby who typically fits in 18 months. The outfit fits perfectly now! I hope he doesn't grow out of it too quickly. It's pretty soft, though not as high quality fabric as what you'd get at a department store. It's thick and flexible, unlike a lot of the off-brand children's clothes I've gotten on Amazon. The buttons are functional. I'm surprised by how much I love it! I haven't washed it yet, but it seems like it will hold up. Would recommend." —Shaylin C.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes 0-3–18-24M and in 36 colors and patterns).

    Promising review: "Love these! They’re obviously not organic like the Quincy Mae ones we usually buy, but they are a little thicker actually and not $18 a pair, so that’s great! Really nice quality, good sizing, and cute colors! We wash them plenty because she wears them constantly, and they’ve held up great." —Jeannine

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes 0-3M–4T and in a variety of color combos and quantities). 

    19. A denim jacket because you buy a new denim jacket every season to add to your fall fashion staples, and baby would like one, too. They're perfect for layering underneath, and they look so dang cute.

    Promising reviews: "Love so much, I now own six. These have optional mittens and footies when you want to use them, plus an easy access zipper. They run a little roomy, but I prefer that." —DenverColo

    "Love these jammies! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. We got these for our daughter for 'jammie jail' because she would take her jammies and diaper off in the middle of the night, then end up wetting the bed. So, we put these jammies on backwards, and she is unable to unzip them." —Nolan Saulter

    Get it from Amazon for $14.80+ (available in sizes 3M–3T and in 45 colors and styles). 

    21. A 10-piece clothing set that's pretty much all you need to pack for a playdate at the grandparents' house. You can literally toss the whole set in a bag, add a few diapers, food, and bottles, and off they go.

    22. A pair of Levi's straight-fit jeans just begging to be paired with a flannel shirt and a pair of baby boots to complete their lumberjack-inspired ensemble. 

    Promising review: "My boy weighs about 25 lbs. He normally wears 18-month-old clothing, so I ordered size 18 month in these jeans. They fit perfectly around the waist; they are longer, so I just rolled them. Super cute; we will be buying more in the future. These are the only jean-like pants I have found that fit him and that he is able to sit in with his chunky belly." —Mama Bear

    Get it from Amazon for $17.01+ (available in sizes 3M–4T and in three washes).

    Get it from Dr. Martens for $65 (available in infant sizes 4–6 and five colors). 

    24. A two-piece set featuring a flannel shirt and matching soft knit jogger pants. Alas, with a flannel shirt in the closet, their search for fall wardrobe essentials can come to a close.

    Promising review: "We really like these. We’ve tried several different brands, and these are definitely our favorite. They’re the softest, easiest, and most durable so far. They also don’t have any seams on the back like other brands which I think makes it much more comfortable for baby. They definitely do run big, though. I had got my baby a medium based off the sizing chart provided, and I had to go ahead and get smalls. The small provides less leg room, but the medium was very wide in the shoulder/arm hole area, which made me nervous. Overall great!" —Francesca

    Get it from Amazon for $18.89+ (available in sizes S–L and 28 patterns). 

    26. A six-pack of Gerber long-sleeve onesies perfect for slipping on under their outfits for an added layer of warmth. It'll allow them to still wear some of their non-seasonal short sleeve clothing, too.
