Baby Halloween Costumes: Do or Don't?

As you all know, Halloween is tomorrow! So what I really want to know is: do you have a super cute costume for your baby or are you going to wait until he or she is older?
There are some obvious benefits to dressing up your baby for Halloween: the cuteness factor (of course), the photo opportunities, and yes, let's just admit it--the chance to show off how absolutely adorable your baby is! But not everyone thinks that this is a great idea. Erin at Mom Logic wrote a hilarious diatribe against baby costumes.

And a couple days ago Peter from one of my favorite blogs, The Poop, talked about what to do when kids won't wear their costumes. That's a tricky one because you've spent the time and money on the costume (hunched over the sewing machine or braving costume shop crowds--neither are what I consider a fun time). But really, at some point you just have to give up right? Is a cute photo op worth a potential temper tantrum?

Well, if you're on the fence over this issue then I suggest a compromise. Some baby rompers strike just the right balance between comfy baby clothes and costume. Sleeping Partners has an adorable layette set that's just right for Halloween and the entire fall season. It's the Four Piece Pumpkin Layette Set from their Itty Bitees Collection. (FYI: They've got some really cute Christmas rompers, too!)And the nice thing about a Halloween themed romper is that it can be worn all season long, so you're sure to get your money's worth.
