While not to everyone’s taste, the wacky outfits will no doubt be a hit with parents who want their newborns to stand out.
This year Target has produced a whoopee cushion suit for toddlers, printed with a sketch of a woman exclaiming ‘Oops!’.

‘Would you prefer a tuna roll? Salmon? Whatever the roll, I can accommodate.’
For parents looking for a more traditional look for their infant, there are plenty of seasonal wares to pick from. Little Bird Lucy, an independent store holder featured on etsy.com, sells a knitted pumpkin hat for newborns touted as an ‘instant photo prop’.

As the Washington Post points out: ‘Dressing children up under the age of two is more for the parents and the show for friends and family than for the entertainment of the baby.’
It adds that comfort and safety are important to consider when selecting a child’s costume.
‘While dressing up is fun, it can also be dangerous. Make sure that any costume you choose is appropriate for the age of your child.’
