Newborns lose heat quickly through their head and feet, which is why our hats and booties are knitted or cut from breathable organic cotton — warm enough for chilly days, soft enough for delicate skin. Stretchy ribbing keeps them comfortably in place without pinching.
Why choose our hats & booties
Frequently asked questions
What size hat does a newborn need?
Most newborns wear a 0-3 month hat, roughly 34-36cm in circumference. Check the size guide on the product page, as head sizes vary more than clothing sizes.
Will the booties stay on my baby's feet?
Yes, our booties have soft ribbed cuffs that hug the ankle gently, keeping them in place during kicks and wriggles without leaving marks.
Are these suitable for newborn photos?
Absolutely — the soft organic cotton and delicate details make our hats and booties a popular choice for hospital and newborn photo sessions.
How do I wash hats and booties?
Hand wash or gentle machine wash at 30°C, then lay flat to dry to preserve the shape of the ribbing.
Can I personalise a hat or bootie set?
Some sets offer a small embroidered detail — check the product page for personalisation options, or visit our embroidery collection.
Choosing the right hat or bootie set
For newborns, a lightweight cotton hat is enough indoors; save thicker knits for outings in cool weather. Booties work best layered under a sleepsuit for extra warmth without overheating.
