Parents of babies who are preemies are often more concerned about their new baby’s health than what outfit to take them home from the hospital in, when that time comes. Often their options are limited. Now, however, they have some choices. AvaBaby’s specializes in clothing of all kinds for preemies. I really like this Take Me Home Preemie Gown & Hat by Carriage Boutique. Both are adorned with a train carrying white teddy bears and ABC blocks, and made of 100% cotton. They fit babies from 4 to 6 lbs. You can purchase this cute outfit for $32 at AvaBabys.com, where you can also view the wide variety of clothes available for premature babies.

All of my babies have been full term, but the largest of the three was just over seven pounds. I have therefore been very glad to have a few preemie outfits for them to wear in the early days.  With most of the major children’s clothing companies now making clothes in preemie sizes, it isn’t hard to find cute outfits.  Every once in a while, though, something catches my eye because it looks a little bit different from what I’m used to seeing.  This outfit from Kumquat definitely falls into this category.  I love the fact that it uses such bold colors–reds, pinks, and greens, rather than the muted tones that seem to dominate a lot of preemie clothes.  I’m always a fan of these kimono two piece sets early on.  Our newborn pretty much lives in them because they are so much easier to get on and off.

This outfit is made in the USA from 100% cotton.  It features a wrap front that snaps closed (much easier than fussing with ties), a ribbed collar and cuffs, and sweet lettuce edges on the hemline of the pants.  This outfit will definitely make your little one stand out.  You can purchase it for $50 at BestDressedKids.com.
