Tips to make your baby’s Christmas extra special

With all the twinkling lights, sparkling decorations and buzz of activity, Christmas can be a fascinating time for babies. It is also a good moment to start traditions our children can enjoy throughout their childhood and create memories that will last forever. You will also want your little one to look amazing during the festive period. We have some style ideas and some tips to help make this Christmas extra special for your baby. 

Celebrate your baby’s first Christmas in style

If this is your baby’s first Christmas then you will want it to be really special. Make your child the centre of attention during the festive period by sending friends and relatives a card featuring a photo of your baby. Dress the baby in a Christmas outfit for extra cuteness.

With their festive red and gold trim, these Pinocchio-inspired outfits by Foque would be perfect. Boys can wear the bloomers with long socks like these by Cóndor and girls will feel cosy in these ribbed tights, also by Cóndor.

Create some lovely family traditions at Christmas

If this is your baby’s first Christmas, or you have a young child, it is a wonderful time to start some family customs that you can repeat each festive period. For example, you could read a Christmas book each year. Picture books like “Father Christmas” and “The Snowman” are ideal for babies and younger children. As your child gets older, watching a Christmas film together can be a lot of fun. 

You may also wish to buy an ornament for the Christmas tree every year, but especially for your baby’s first Christmas. You could even make an ornament yourself out of card, clay or salt dough and tie a piece of yarn that is the height of your child around it. Each year, you measure your child and cut a new piece of yarn to match his or her height. Children will be amazed to see how much they have grown in a year. 

Another idea that will work from the time your child is a baby is to visit the Christmas lights in your city or town. For boys, this lovely outfit by Foque featuring a cute mouse would be a great choice for a trip to see the festive lights. Girls would look very elegant in this white blouse with checked bloomers by Rochy. For extra warmth and a blast of colour, this mustard-coloured cardigan, also by Rochy, would look incredible.

Watch your baby take delight or grimace during a visit to Santa Claus

Babies can be so expressive and there are ample opportunities to take photos of them during their first few years of life. A visit to Santa is an ideal moment to take some fantastic photos of your baby. Whether your baby cries, smiles or looks incredulous, each picture will be a precious memory for you to cherish and your baby to laugh at when he or she is an adult. For a meeting with the man in red, your baby should be suitably attired. 

Your baby girl will be pretty in pink in this stylish dress by Rochy. The large bow in the centre of the dress is a beautiful focal point, and the ruffles on the shoulders and on the hem of the dress are very feminine. Baby boys will look adorable in this blue knit sweater and trousers by Rahigo. The white pompoms on the top and trousers add a lot of fun to the outfit, whilst the white ruffles add elegance. 

We hope that you will find these ideas useful, but whatever you choose to do with your baby this Christmas, we wish you a wonderful holiday filled with special times. Enjoy creating memories with your little one!
