Baby's First Thanksgiving: Outfit Ideas for Boys & Girls

Baby's first Thanksgiving is a special milestone, and an occasion for plenty of photos with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. A festive outfit makes the day feel even more memorable. Here are our favorite Thanksgiving looks for little ones, plus a few tips for keeping baby comfortable during a busy holiday.

Thanksgiving Outfits for Baby Girls

For a newborn or young baby, the Turkey Hand Picture Smocked Diaper Set is a classic choice. It features a hand-smocked turkey with colorful tail feathers and sweet pink picot trim. For an older baby or toddler, the Jumper Dress with Turkey Applique pairs a tan check jumper with a white peter pan collar shirt.

Thanksgiving Outfits for Baby Boys

The Turkey Hand Picture Smocked Top & Pant Set combines a cotton polo with a hand-smocked turkey and tan check pants. It's a polished look for the dinner table. Little football fans will love the Football Turkey Applique Longall, perfect for watching the Thanksgiving game with Dad and Grandpa.

A Cuddly Thanksgiving Friend

Gobbler the Turkey Plush Toy is super soft, machine washable and the perfect size for little hands. It's a fun way to keep baby entertained while the grown-ups cook, and it makes a sweet keepsake from the first Thanksgiving.

Tips for Baby's First Thanksgiving

• Dress for photos early. Get your pictures before the meal, when everyone (and the outfit) is still fresh.
• Bring a backup outfit. Sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce are messy. A bib and a spare set save the day.
• Plan a quiet spot. Holiday gatherings can be overwhelming. A calm room for naps and feeding helps baby stay happy.
• Capture a family photo. Line up the generations for a picture you'll treasure for years.
