5. A seasonless swaddle

Swath your little one in this cloud-soft swaddle and a sweet matching bow or hat for the ultimate newborn photo op.

Bonus: It’s made from stretchy, seasonless fabric that will help keep baby from overheating in the summer and keep baby warm and cozy in the winter.

6. A dreamy one-piece for baby

Don’t forget to pack cozies for baby, too! Our pick? Little Sleepies’ signature Zippy. It’s made with their bamboo-blend fabric, and has tons of parent-friendly features, like a tagless, buttonless and snapless design; a two-way zipper and dozens of dreamy prints to choose from! Best of all, the ultra-stretchy fabric paired with fold-over mittens and foot cuffs give these PJs a flexible fit that won’t get outgrown as quickly as standard baby pajamas.
