1. Keep costumes soft + simple.
Choose breathable cotton or muslin fabrics and avoid anything itchy, bulky, or covered in loose accessories. Comfort over costume drama every time.
2. Layer up for outdoor events.
Babies lose heat quickly. Add a cozy sweater or wrap them in a muslin blanket or hooded towel before heading outside.
3. Skip the trick-or-treat crowds.
For infants, opt for a stroller walk around the neighborhood before dark or a quiet pumpkin patch visit. The experience, not the candy, is the treat.
4. Make memories, not noise.
Keep it calm with sensory-friendly activities: read a Halloween book, play with mini pumpkins, or have a cozy bath after bedtime.
5. Mind the sugar (for grown-ups too).
If you’re introducing sweets to older toddlers, keep portions tiny and focus on balance, or swap candy for fun experiences like stickers, story time, or cuddles.
6. Protect bedtime.
Little ones thrive on routine. Celebrate earlier in the day so bedtime stays peaceful (and everyone sleeps better). Check out some of our bedtime favorites here!
