Snuggle Knit™ Newborn Gift Set

Our snuggle knit newborn gift set is the ultimate way to welcome baby into the world. Made from a supremely soft and super stretchy fabric, these essentials are sure to keep infants comfy no matter the season. The one-size-fits-all knotted baby hat grows with little ones, thanks to its snuggly stretch factor, and the knotted gown is designed with clever features that make life with baby easier. Its easy-access tie bottom allows for no-fuss diaper changes, a flexible neckline for easy changing lets you slide baby in and out of the gown without having to pull anything overhead, and protective fold-over cuffs prevent accidental scratches. The absorbent bandana bib is a stylish way to catch drools and dribbles while the swaddle blanket offers the ultimate in versatility, as it can also be used as a stroller cover, burp cloth, nursing cover, changing pad/ mat cover and more.

Carly VolleroCan't live withoutIf you are flying, you might want to consider an infant carseat that grows legs and can double as a stroller. If you are driving to the pick up, a cheaper carseat might do the trick! Check out options by Britax.
