On my daughter’s first Halloween, she was just three weeks old, but that didn’t stop me from being downright giddy over the prospect of planning her very first baby Halloween costume (along with our family theme, of course).
We didn’t find out if she was a boy or girl until the day she was born and while a little Barney would have been just as cute, let me tell you: our little Pebbles Flintstone sure stole the show as we welcomed trick or treating family, friends, and neighbors that first Halloween.
Ever since that first baby Halloween costume, I’ve loved celebrating the fall season and all the fun that comes with it. Of course, cute baby Halloween costumes are the best part. And candy. Mama loves those mini Snickers and Twix!
While this year may look a little different, that doesn’t mean you have to skip costumes or miss out on fall festivities. Have an at-home pumpkin carving party, watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, buy an assortment of your favorite Halloween candy, and definitely pose for a photo shoot featuring your little one’s costume.
And if you need help choosing a costume, Truly Mama has found the most adorable baby Halloween and toddler costumes, mom and baby costumes, animal costumes, and yes, even family costumes.

Best Baby Halloween Costumes
Baby Shark Dodododo
Baby Shark Costume
How about walking the neighborhood as the most popular shark family with Baby Shark front and center? Just be prepared to have the song stuck in your head for all of eternity...which might be the scariest thing we could think of.
Sweet Corn
Baby Corn
Let your little be a farm animal--cow, lamb, chicken, pig, or even an ear of corn--if you’re looking for a newborn baby Halloween costume. Then, have a parent or sibling dress up as a farmer.
A Cutie You Can Be
Baby Yoda Costume
There are so many options when it comes to Star Wars costumes, but, hands down this baby Yoda creation is one of the cutest. And, a great option if you/a friend/partner are crafty.
A Galaxy Family Far Away
Star Wars Family Costume
Speaking of Star Wars costumes, you can get the whole family involved in the galaxy far-away fun. Choose from Poe Dameron, an Ewok, Rey, and more. There are matching costumes for both adults and kids, so get your light sabers ready!
Belle of the Ball
Belle Costume for Baby
Have your baby be the Belle of the ball with this authentic Disney gown--perfect for Halloween or any other dress-up occasion. It comes in sizes from 3 months to 24 months, so if you have multiple Belle lovers in your family, you could pick up several different sizes.
Glow-in-the-Dark Romper
Mickey Mouse Skeleton Romper for Baby
This Mikey skeleton romper manages to be both spooky and sweet, with snaps at the bottom for easy diaper changes and a hood on the top for warding off the chill of All Hallow's Eve. But the coolest part of this too-cool romper? The "bones" glow in the dark!
Baby Jack-Jack
Jack-Jack Costume for Baby – Incredibles 2
We often joke that we have a baby Jack-Jack in our family, because she can go from playing perfectly contentedly and cutely in one minute to throwing a full-on, rage-filled temper tantrum in the next. If your family has a baby Jack-Jack in the midst as well, embrace it and dress them up in the character that they really are inside. Heck, you may even go for a full family theme as well.
For Adventurers like Amelia
Racing Helmet and Goggles
Is there an Amelia Earhart or little racer in your midst? Let their imagination (and creativity!) sore with this adorable and authentic racing helmet and goggles pair. The goggles are adjustable with straps and the helmet fits in a comfy, Velcro-style closure.
For Your Little Dino
Triceratops Cape and Claws Costume
This handcrafted cape with matching "claws" is sure to delight your little dino-lover. With extraordinary attention to detail, it's realistic enough for both a Halloween costume or just every day dinosaur play at home (as one does, of course). Plus, if you happen to live in cold weather, the cape is fully lined, so it will keep your little triceratops warm too.
For Your Lil' Ladybug
Glitter Ladybug Costume
Ladybugs are super cute on their own, but when dressed up on your baby? Even cuter. This 3-piece set comes complete with a glittery tulu skit, wings, and a headband. Because it comes in multiple pieces, you can definitely get year-round play out of this costume, or use it just for trick-or-treating.
Mad for Mummy
Mummy Costume with Skirt
A mummy is a classic Halloween costume, but classic doesn't necessarily mean simple. Sometimes, getting the perfect mummy Halloween costume can be incredibly difficult, but this three-piece set takes all of the work out of it and leaves just some spooky fun. Complete with a skirt and tons of details like strips and stresses for tons of mummy-ish details.
Huff and Puff and Blow You Away
Little Red Riding Hood Baby Costume
I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow your house down...with this super-cute little red riding outfit, made just for babies and toddlers! The dress is about 17.5” from shoulder to hem and the included matching cape is about 14.5” long.
Nothing to Frown About
Baby Eeyore Costume
Nothing to frown about over here, because your little Eeyore will be downright adorable in this Halloween costume. It features a zipper closure for convenience and the tail is fully detachable if it gets in the way of your little one crawling or moving around. However, be aware that this costume is hand-wash only.
Cute Critter
Lil' Raccoon Costume
Sure, raccoons are known for going through your garbage and eating it, but they can also be downright cute, am I right? This lil' raccoon costume is plush, so it will be nice and warm for your little one to dress up and delight the neighbors. Garbage not included.
Avocado-Cute
Infant Avocuddles
Just when we all thought avocados couldn't get any better, along comes this adorable Halloween infant costume. The headpiece is optional and it comes in multiple sizes, but this is a popular one, so you might want to snap it ASAP, because this thing is better than guacamole.
Best Pumpkin in the Patch
Infant Pumpkin Costume
Call me old-fashioned, but I think there's just something oh-so-sweet about dressing up your little pumpkin as, well, a pumpkin for Halloween. It's a costume that looks good on every baby and it can be reused over and over! This is an exclusive costume and has a lot of parent-friendly features, like a zippered back and textured bottoms on the included booties for no tricks when walking around.
Aggrrr Matey for 2-in-1
Pirate Pajamas
Do you want to know what's genius? A Halloween costume that doubles as pajamas that can be used year-round, that's what! And Hanna Anderson delivers with this pirate-inspired pair that can go straight from trick-or-treating right to bedtime. We love the wooden leg detail almost as much as the organic cotton they're made of.
Pretty as a Princess
Princess Pajamas Costume Set
What's a pirate without a princess? This pajama costume set (also from Hanna Anderson) pulls double duty, just like a princess would and lets your little princess serve their subjects while trick-or-treating, then say goodnight to their kingdom. Plus, it comes with a matching grown and you can even add multiple sizes for all the princesses in the family.
