Onesies

The bodysuit is the garment that gets changed most often, so what matters is not the print but how quickly it comes off. Here are bodysuits with long and short sleeves for babies and small children.

How to choose

For the first months most families need 6–8 — enough to bridge the gap between washes.

• Sleeves. Long ones suit the first weeks and cooler homes; short ones suit warm rooms and summer.
• Fastenings. Poppers between the legs are essential; an envelope neckline helps too.
• Seams. Outward-facing seams do not rub sensitive skin.
• Size. Chosen by height in centimetres, not by age.
