Are you expecting a new baby? Are you looking for that perfect homecoming outfit? You know the one that every nurse stops you and says is the cutest outfit they ever saw. The one that you can show to your pregnant friends and they say, “Oh wow, I want one too!” Then Zutano’s Itzy Bitzy line may be just what you are looking for.

I speak from experience as I brought my new little guy, Christian, home in Zutano. Here is a picture from his birth announcement (taken in the hospital). He is wearing the cap and kimono shirt in the Celery Dot print.

Zutano was started by a husband and wife team after the birth of their first little girl. The materials are super soft and cozy, and the prints are bright, fun, funky and most of all cute! For years they have been making clothes in 0-6 months up to 18-24 months, but this last fall they decided to branch out. I am so glad they did!

Many first time moms will tell you that the outfit they took to the hospital for their new son or daughter’s homecoming outfit did not fit. They will say ‘it said 0-3 months on the tag!’ or ‘my baby weighed over 8 lbs I don’t get it?!?’ I can speak from experience that my daughter swam in her homecoming outfit, and the hat never did fit right.

For some reason new little babies are not born ready to wear their designated size on the clothing charts. Their tiny little frames and the fact that they just want to stay all bunched up make them in need of newborn or even preemie clothing. Finding this size is hard and finding it in something super cute is even harder! Itzy Bitzy clothing is the perfect newborn size. Made for babies that are 4-8 lbs, it is designed especially for those first few weeks of life or maybe longer if you had a preemie.

Another thing to look for when buying the take home outfit is how easy it is to dress your child. New babies are just so tiny and so fragile and you hardly want to move them let alone try and finagle them into their clothes. Zutano offers many different pieces in the Itzy Bitzy line, one of which is a kimono style top that snaps on the sides so that you don’t have to pull it over baby’s head. The pants have an elastic waist so that you can pull them right up over your baby’s tiny legs.

Mix and match. This is one of the best parts about Zutano clothing. It helps to make it more affordable. They make many tops and bottoms in prints, solids, and stripes. They have coordinating tops and hats and you choose which combo is for you. You can buy a couple shirts and just one pair of pants and you have 2 complete outfits for a lot cheaper price. They even make coordinating socks and the most adorable little hats!! The coordinating prints make Zutano a great line for sibling groups if you like to dress your babies and toddlers alike. It’s perfect for boy girl twins, too.
