What Makes the Perfect Coming Home Outfit
For me, it starts with comfort. Newborn skin is delicate, so we use GOTS-certified organic cotton, free from harsh dyes and chemicals. Each baby girl first outfit includes:
- Soft bodysuits and footed leggings that keep her snug without overheating.
- Envelope necklines and nickel-free poppers for gentle changes.
- Stretchy waistbands and flat seams so nothing rubs against baby skin.
- Neutral colours and simple designs that photograph beautifully for that first family picture.
Every piece is part of our small-batch collection — made ethically, designed to last and be passed on as a treasured memory or hand-me-down.
Layering for the Ride Home
Hospitals can feel warm, but stepping outside can bring a chill, especially in the UK. I like to dress baby in a short-sleeve bodysuit, add a long-sleeve sleepsuit or romper, and top with a soft cardigan or knit jacket for the journey. If it’s cold, add a hat and mittens and wrap in a blanket — but avoid bulky coats in the car seat for safety.
Our organic layers regulate body temperature naturally, keeping your little one warm without overheating.
How to Choose the Right Size for Your Baby Girl's Outfit?
Parents often ask what size to buy for a coming-home outfit. Most newborns fit best in the newborn size for their first week or two. If your baby is expected to be larger than average, you can pack a 0-3 months option too.

Aneby’s fits are slightly relaxed to allow for cloth nappies and a bit of room to grow — so you can enjoy those outfits beyond the ride home.

A soft cotton bodysuit layered with a sleepsuit is usually enough. Add a hat and blanket if it’s chilly. Avoid thick coats in car seats — blankets over the top keep baby safe and warm.

Most newborns go home in a comfortable sleepsuit and hat. In winter, you can add a knitted cardigan or snowsuit for outdoor journeys. In summer, a light romper is perfect

“Newborn” fits most babies under about 4.1 kg (9 lb). If you expect a larger baby or plan cloth nappies, bring a 0–3 months size as a backup.

What to dress a baby in 24 degrees outside?
Keep it light: a short-sleeve vest and romper are ideal for 24 °C. If you’re out in the sun, add a soft hat and use shade to keep your baby cool and comfortable.
