Newborn and Family: Introducing the Baby

In the pre-Covid days, family and friends would visit the hospital to meet the new baby - but now the meet-the-baby moments are happening when you bring your baby home! So what do you wear to introduce the baby to older siblings or grandparents? What’s a good post-partum outfit for a sip-and-see, or an appropriate bris outfit? You’ll definitely want something slightly dressier, but the same principles apply (see my previous post, where I outline how to think about postpartum clothing and clothing investments). So without further ado, what to wear after having a baby - the dressier edit!

If you only buy one thing today…

The obsession with the Nap Dress is real… it’s a great fit, and super flattering for pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, post-partum, and breast-feeding… plus a female-founded company (the founder and CEO is also a mom of 3!). My recommendation is to stick to your normal size or size down - the smocking provides a lot of stretch!

Introducing Baby Outfits - New Mom Outfits

Blue Tiered Dress // Collapsible Heel Shoes (great for being able to slip on from post-partum to toddler!)

Jacquard Caftan Dress - sizes selling out, but additional styles linked (one size truly fits all) // Scalloped Ballet Flats

Nap Dress (as seen on Princess Eugenie leaving the hospital) // Bow Pumps

Quilted Tote Bag (perfect as a chic diaper bag) - I recommend adding an organizer to convert a great tote into a diaper bag

Goyard Tote (great price, but if you want it, act fast - only 1) - and another organizing system to consider!
