Swaddles and hat sets
There’s nothing more timeless than this
Available in Heather Oatmeal (as pictured), Heather Blue, or Heather Sage. You’ll also find more swaddle options in other prints, styles, and colors, including the Swaddle & Luxe bow sets.
Perfect for those early, sleepy days at home, this swaddle and hat set makes newborn snuggles feel even sweeter. The soft, stretchy fabric makes it easy for new parents to wrap baby securely for naps, post-bath coziness, or photos. The neutral colors work for any nursery or outfit, and the matching hat adds a thoughtful touch that makes this feel more like a special gift than a basic essential.
Zippies
A classic front-zipper look
Pictured is the Sunshine Zippy.
This zip-up sleeper makes diaper changes at 2 a.m. just a little less painful. Made from ultra-soft Lunaluxe bamboo fabric, it features a smooth front double zipper, fold-over mittens to help prevent newborn scratching, and convertible feet to go from footies to a footless fromper. The stretchy design creates a comfy, grow-with-me fit that lasts up to three times longer than typical baby wear. Ideal for lounging, stroller naps, or nighttime routines, it’s a crowd-pleaser for parents who value both form and function.
This crescent zippy hides away
Available in Heather Mauve (as pictured), Heather Oatmeal, Heather Blue, and Heather Sage. You’ll also find more zippy options in other prints and colors.
With fold-over mittens and feet to keep little limbs warm, plus a two-way leg zipper for mess-free changes, this hidden-zipper sleeper is as functional as it is adorable. The u-shaped zipper offers a cleaner look for daytime wear, while the soft fabric is gentle and soothing on healing belly buttons. It’s a great pick for new parents who want cozy meets cute—and it pairs perfectly with the matching mommy pajamas for sweet “first outfit” photo ops.
Infant gowns
Every newborn needs this essential
Available in Heather Mauve (as pictured), Heather Oatmeal, Heather Sage, and Heather Blue. You’ll also find more swaddle options in other prints and colors.
This infant gown is the newborn equivalent of a cozy night in. With lap shoulders for quick outfit changes, fold-over mittens to ward off scratching, and an envelope-style bottom for easy-access diaper swaps, it’s ideal for those early days of constant snuggles and late-night feeds. The gown offers the comfort of a swaddle without the wrapping struggle, making it a neat gift for brand-new parents who are still mastering the newborn stage.
Matching mommy moment
Cozy, luxurious PJs
Available in Indigo (as pictured), Black, Heather Blue, Heather Mauve, Heather Oatmeal, and Heather Sage. You’ll also find more family pajamas in other prints and colors.
Because moms deserve comfort and gifts, too. This cozy PJ set is perfect for postpartum lounging, middle-of-the-night feedings, or just curling up with a sleepy baby. The button-down top allows for easy nursing access, while the buttery fabric keeps her comfortable through every phase of motherhood.
