What Makes a Perfect Coming Home Outfit?
Bringing your baby home is one of those moments you’ll never forget. I remember carefully choosing what my little one would wear for that first trip — something soft, simple, and reassuringly comfortable. Aneby’s coming home outfits for newborns are made with that moment in mind: breathable organic cotton, gentle seams, and easy fastenings for smooth nappy changes and car-seat buckles.
From ribbed footed leggings to soft wrap-over tops, is designed to keep your baby warm without overheating. These infant coming home outfits are practical, timeless, and safe for newborn skin, helping you focus on what really matters: the joy of bringing them home.
Unisex Coming Home Outfits in Timeless Shades
We design our newborn going-home outfits in neutral tones like oat, slate blue, and soft pink — simple, gender-inclusive colours that photograph beautifully and stay versatile as your baby grows.
Each piece coordinates effortlessly with others from the collection, so you can build a small, meaningful wardrobe that works from the hospital to home — and later becomes part of your daily rotation. Every design is produced in small runs in Shropshire to reduce waste and ensure exceptional quality.

Here’s a quick guide:
- Tiny baby (up to 7 lbs): Choose our smaller newborn styles or ribbed leggings with feet.
- Newborn (7–9 lbs): Our standard size fits most full-term babies.
- 0–3 months: Great for babies on the bigger side or for layering in cooler months.
If you’re unsure, pack two options in your hospital bag — it’s always handy to have a backup in case of spills or surprises.
Everything Parents Ask About Bringing Baby Home
What should I dress my newborn in to come home from the hospital?
Dress your baby in a breathable cotton layer, such as an organic vest and a soft footed sleepsuit. Add a hat and blanket if it’s cold, but avoid thick layers under car-seat straps.
What do babies wear when they come home from the hospital?
Most parents choose newborn coming home outfits made from soft, stretchy cotton — usually a sleepsuit or two-piece set that’s easy to change and keeps your baby cosy and safe.
Are newborn clothes the same as 0–3 months?
Not exactly. “Newborn” fits most babies up to around 9 lbs, while “0–3 months” fits slightly larger babies or allows extra room for layering. It’s best to have one of each size ready.
What did you dress your baby in for their first outfit?
For our first trip home, we chose an organic infant coming-home outfit — a ribbed sleepsuit with fold-over cuffs and a matching hat. It was simple, soft, and perfect for that first cuddle.
How can I prepare for dressing my baby after birth?
Pack two coming-home outfits in your hospital bag: one lighter, one warmer. Add a swaddle blanket, hat, and mittens, and keep everything made from breathable organic cotton to avoid overheating.
