Remember: Comfort is Key
No matter what costume you choose, make sure it's comfortable for your baby. You don't want him spending the whole night fussing because his costume is too tight or too itchy.
And remember, he's only 12 months old. He's not going to care if his costume is the most elaborate or expensive one at the party. He's just going to care if he can still move around and play like he normally would.
So have fun with it, mamas and papas. This is your baby's first Halloween, and it's a time to celebrate and make memories. And who knows? Maybe your baby will love dressing up so much that he'll want to do it every day. Now that's a trick-or-treater we can all get behind!
