What size should I give?
Two sizes work for almost any gift: 3-6 months and 12-18 months. Newborn sizes are already covered. Here is why, and how to pick for every occasion.
the short answer: skip newborn
Why not newborn?
Every baby shower fills up with newborn sizes. By the time the baby arrives, there are already more 0-3 month bodysuits than a small person can wear. They grow out of the size in four to eight weeks, before some gifts even get washed.
A 3-6 month gift arrives at the moment things are getting interesting. A 12-18 month gift feels ahead of its time at the shower and is exactly right by the first birthday.

These are general guidelines. Babies vary. When in doubt, go bigger.

Pick whichever feels right. Both are genuinely useful.

They'll be right in this size or just about to grow into it.
Fit and washing
Organic cotton is cut a little more relaxed than conventional. That is on purpose. If you are between sizes, go up. The fabric is forgiving and the snap closure adjusts.
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. The cotton softens with every wash. Full care instructions are on each product page.
