As a parent, there are only a few years where you have unfettered control. Kids are barely one by the time they start voicing their opinions (at least, my 18-month-old certainly doesn’t hold back when he’s presented with a food or movie he doesn’t want). So when it comes to Halloween and babies, it is one of the few times you get to decide the level of cuteness (or hilarious or scary) you want your kid to be without a fight.
If you’re having a hard time deciding on what you would like your sweet kiddo to be this Halloween, check out this list of some of our most favorite baby costumes out there. Whether you’re looking for a matching infant-and-mom halloween costume, a full family costume, or just a cute newborn costume, we’ve got you covered.
And enjoy your agency this year, moms and dads. Soon you’ll be wading through the sea of change-your-mind-every-minute costumes like the rest of us.

Last-minute mama? Don’t worry, we are too! The Hanna Andersson Halloween Shop has the cutest selection of last-minute deals and super-easy costumes; just add some accessories — ears, tails, wings, which are also on sale — and your kiddo is set!
Plus, the costumes can double as PJs any other time of the year. And because they come in organic cotton, they are so durable that they’ll work well for next year and beyond if you can pass them down (which is why they call them Hanna-me-downs!). Love every piece of this collection!
