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.

Recently, I welcomed a baby girl into my family — it’s been an absolute whirlwind since she was born, but we’re finally coming out of the newborn bubble and getting back to our daily routines. Of course, like most babies, my daughter wants to be held nearly all the time. While cuddling my baby is the best feeling, it does make it difficult to get things done, whether that’s work, household chores, eating a quick meal, or walking the dog. There’s only so much parents can get done when their baby wants to be held.

Enter the baby swing! Most babies love movement, so a swing can be the perfect solution — you can put your baby down, keep them entertained, and have your hands back to do things around the house.

If you didn’t know already, based on recent Target shopping stampedes and crazy-fast launch sellout, the Stanley obsession is real. And now, thanks to Fisher-Price, you can score a trendy Quencher-tumbler lookalike for your baby for $10.

Since its launch last October, the Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Wake Up & Learn Coffee Mug has been in and out of stock online and in stores.

We’ve been carefully monitoring potential restocks on Amazon, since there’s been “Currently unavailable. We don’t know when or if this item will be back in stock” messages for the greater part of the last month.

And just this morning, the too-cute-for-words tumbler had its “Add to Cart” and “Buy Now” buttons back in action.

You probably won’t have it in hand for a few weeks, given the current Feb. 5–21 delivery window, but the original $10 price point more than makes up for it.
