Adorable Halloween Costumes For Baby-Wearing Parents

Halloween is finally here, and just like every other year on October 31st, you shouldn’t miss an opportunity to showcase your creative talent this year too! And if this is your baby’s first Halloween, it’s all the more important to pull out all the stops to make it a super special one. After all the memories and photos you will take on this occasion will stay with you to look back in fondness.

For many new mothers, it’s common to give the Halloween celebrations a skip this year. This is totally understandable since taking care of the child, nursing, and feeding them occupy most of their time. Having too much on our plate can always drive us nuts. But we’d say: use it as a greater excuse to rock a stunning ensemble that shows how much you adore and celebrate them! You can creatively nail a family Halloween costume as you tote your baby and deck up together! Yes, having a baby doesn’t necessarily have to get in the way of your Halloween party, and we’ll show you how!

So, get into the holiday spirit and buckle up to be inspired by some super-fun family Halloween getups we’ve compiled below. As you’ll see, dressing up for Halloween doesn’t have to be a spectacular show (or maybe yes, if you are sold on the idea). You can still win hearts with adorable family Halloween costumes — carrying them around in a sling, baby carrier, or just your arms! Check these out, and you’ll be tempted to enjoy the festivities with your little munchkin, all decked up.

This mother-son duo has perfectly recreated the incredibly classic Disney-inspired Halloween costume from the moviePirates of the Caribbean. It would be hard to find a person who didn’t enjoy the seafaring pirate Jack Sparrow who has caught on to the fancy of Halloween dress themes ever since. The drunk pirate anti-hero is not the most ideal person anyone would look up to but we also can’t deny that his charm and wit are out of this world! Also, we’ve got to agree that it’s straight out of the silver screen! If you want to give people that fright, some gory elements like opaque lenses and spooky makeup details will get you there, but you might want to keep it simple without frightening your baby. Also, for a day party, add chic sunglasses for a glam look. After all, when you’re a team, you’ve got to keep it sassy and trendy.

Sushi, anyone? If you’re a Sushi fan, this Halloween family costume will delight you. While Sushi isn’t frightening or a folkloric being, whoever stopped you from getting carried away with your Halloween costume? It’s elegant and fun, especially if you’re a self-proclaimed food enthusiast (or a chef, maybe?). Improvise this look with a salmon-colored dress (or an orange pillow attached to the back) for your baby (for the shrimp sashimi). And, you could turn yourself into a soy sauce bottle (what’s Sushi without it) or wear a black dress with soy sauce written on it (cut out from gold foil sheets). Add condiment headpieces of wasabi, ginger, or whatever you please to complete the look. You’re daintily put together for Halloween!
