Onesies

A onesie is a one-piece garment that snaps at the crotch, keeping it from riding up when a baby moves or is picked up. Unlike regular tops, it stays neatly tucked and prevents the belly from being exposed. It is the most practical everyday outfit for babies aged 0-18 months.

For a full-term newborn (3-3.5 kg), size 0-3 months is the right fit. Skip the 'Newborn' size unless your baby is expected to be under 3 kg — it is outgrown within days to 2 weeks. 0-3 months gives you a comfortable 6-8 weeks of use. Always buy a few in the next size up as backup.

Short-sleeve onesies are the staple for most of India year-round. Long-sleeve onesies are better for winter months or AC-heavy environments. A mix of both gives you flexibility — short sleeves for daytime and long sleeves for nights when temperatures drop. Layer with a swaddle or sleeping sack rather than using heavy long-sleeve wear in AC rooms.

Yes! Onesies are the most recommended sleepwear for babies. They stay in place during sleep, don't have loose fabric that can cover the face, and allow easy diaper changes at night. Pair with a sleeping sack for temperature regulation rather than adding a separate blanket in the crib.
