Many new and expecting parents enjoy trolling through the expensive baby boutiques, or simply online to find 'the best of the best' for their baby. And many of them wonder WHY someone spends $30 on ONE onesie, or $80 on a footie sleeper. The answer, is Petit Bateau.

Most Petit Bateau addicts start as parents of preemies who either get a preemie sized outfit as a gift, or run into their local store in a panic because nothing fits their 5 pound baby. But Petit Bateau's newborn and 1 month size clothing DOES.

Their infant producst range from my favorite piece: the kimono snap onesie (in sizes newborn to 12 months) to back snap easy change footed sleepers, to soft pull on pants, to recieving blankets, tiny beanie hats, and finally graduating into tank tops, t-shirts and underwear.

All of their pieces are 100% cotton, hand tailored and finished with a quality that is unrivaled. For all newborns, and in particular thinner infants of all ages there is no better fit in a onesie or sleepers. You lay a onesie next to the Gerber ones, and there just is no comparison. The sleeves and legholes are finished, usually trimmed in picot. Pointelle and ribbed cotton knits as well as solids are available every season.

Kimono snap onesies are ESSENTIAL for newborns, so you're not stuffing that tiny, fragile head into a neckhole. They're darling bigger, too.

Their tank top onesies are irrisistable, and are TDF on their own, or under any summer spaghetti strap dress you have. These are especially handy under any special occasion dress, which we all know are never comfortable.

Their sleepers whether in terry or velour usually feature the back snap closure so that you're doing 2 snap buttons in the middle of the night instead of 10.

The quality of their products make them far outlast the "regular stuff" so that by the time your baby grows out of them, you can still resell and get a decent bit of your money back - which is always a bonus.

I don't even need to go into  the underwear or basics for the bigger kids because once you're hooked, you're hooked for life.

They also make tees and jammies for mommies!!!
