Cute Baby Halloween Costume Ideas

With Halloween just around the corner, many moms are getting busy with finding costumes for their little ones. But what about infants? Being the mother of a child who will be under 12 months when this Halloween hits, I know that she can't enjoy trick or treating at this point. But there are so many cute outfits out there, it's hard not to get excited about dressing her up to visit family and get some really cute pictures.

You can find a wide array of baby costumes at any local party stores or even cheaper if you are internet savvy!

Here are some ideas for baby Halloween costumes that are sure to have you and anyone else that spots your little monster giggling:

Bunting Costumes:
For the real little ones (probably best for 6 months & younger), bunting costumes are outfits that don't have 'legs' so the baby is basically in an enclosed sack-like outfit. And if you live in a colder climate, this is perfect for keeping your little one warm while showing off how adorable they are.

Ideas:
any kind of animals (I've seen bunnies, lambs, bats, etc.)
vegetables (chili peppers, pea pods, pumpkins, etc.)
superheroes (Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman, etc.)

Animal Costumes:
The possibilities are endless here, and the choices are pretty popular from what I've seen.

Occupation Costumes:
Babies with 'jobs' always bring a smile, especially if you're able to have your little one represent the field you're in.
