This is actually one-piece underwear. It is usually designed with a stretch or envelope neck to fit easily over your infant's head, nonbinding or raglan (wide) sleeves for comfort, and snaps at the bottom for convenience when changing.

Shirts
Side-Snap Shirts This shirt is primarily for newborns because it isn't pulled over baby's head, and you can easily provide head and neck support while putting it on your baby. It fits similarly to a jacket and is secured with snap closures in front. To ensure baby's comfort, it's designed with no side seams and wide, raglan sleeves.
Pullover Shirt A pullover shirt can be used for newborns or toddlers beginning potty training. Design features may include a stretch neck to make it easy to dress and undress baby, raglan sleeves to prevent binding, plus no side seams for comfort.

Infant Gowns
This sleepwear item can be made of cotton or polyester. Features may include an open, banded bottom to make changing easier and keep baby warm, wide or raglan sleeves for comfort, and mitten cuffs that cover baby's hands and prevent baby from accidental scratching.

Sleepers
A sleeper is designed with long sleeves and legs to keep baby warm and comfortable, especially during the cooler months. To make it easier to dress and change baby, snaps go all the way down the front and down each leg. Due to federal regulations, cotton sleepwear may only go up to size large. Extra-large sleepwear must be flame-retardant polyester.

Hats and Booties
An infant's head and feet are two places where body heat is lost rapidly, causing a chill. To prevent this, you'll find a wide variety of hat and bootie sets. Hat features may include multiple knitted layers for additional warmth and no side seam to prevent chafing. Bootie features may include Velcro closures, elastic at the ankle for a snug fit, and large cuffs to tuck in pants.

Bibs
Teething Bibs These bibs are used specifically for drooling. They are designed to keep baby dry where it is needed the most--from the neck to the chest area.
Feeding Bibs These are different than teething bibs because of their size. Feeding bibs are designed to protect a large area of clothing while eating. They feature adjustable necks and are available in a wide variety of prints, materials, styles, and patterns.

Hooded Towels and Robes
These are two bathing essentials. The hooded towel is necessary to wrap around your infant after a bath to avoid chills. The soft washcloth is needed to gently wash baby's tender skin. Robes are also a great way to keep baby cozy from tub to changing table.
