Halloween is fast approaching and if your baby is new to the scene (which, they are, since they're, you know, a baby) you're probably racking your brain to find the perfect first Halloween costume for your little one that'll be both memorable and Instagram-worthy. As a mom, it's your duty to find costumes that aren't cheesy but are still cute enough for a baby to pull off. But no pressure, because costumes have evolved pretty far from the standard run-of-the-mill costumes, so finding first Halloween costumes that aren't your typical pumpkin, ghost, or skeleton shouldn't be very hard to do.
If you're feeling crafty and adventurous, you could even DIY your baby's costume. As intimidating as it sounds, you won't have to whip our your sewing machine to create a costume that's as original as your baby is. If DIY isn't really your thing, never fear. You can still find original and unique baby costumes online or in stores that will get the job done just fine.
So whether you've been planning your baby's first Halloween for months or are just now starting to browse the racks for inspiration, there's nothing stopping you from giving your baby (and you) the most memorable first Halloween ever.
