So you are a new parent? What is more exciting than bringing in a new life into the world? You get to shape the kid’s mind. Watch with pride as your youngster grows as he or she learns something new.

One thing that having a child does is give you and your spouse a chance to be a kid again. This is especially true at Halloween. When you are getting your baby ready in a Halloween costume, you can be doing the same.

There are three basic rules of Halloween and babies. These are:

- It best to go with a group of people who have kids a little older than your own. Otherwise, it is noticeable you are playing dress up and only getting candy for yourself. You shouldn’t worry so much about this. Sweets givers will be distracted by your baby’s outfit rather than giving out candy to someone they know will be eating it.

- Be cautious of the kind of costume material you buy. Most store bought costumes are made of highly flammable material, which is not very breathable for a baby’s skin.

- Be sure the costume you get is weather permitted. You do not want to get one that is either too hot or too cold for your baby. Remember to bring a hat if it is needed or mittens as well. You don’t want your baby to be uncomfortable.

If you are worried about irritating your baby’s skin, use your baby’s regular clothing as a base to keep the other material off their skin. For example, to get a cute mouse outfit, use your baby’s headband and add some ears and paint some whiskers to a fuzzy grey sleeper set. The same idea works for the wintertime too. If your baby has a black coverall suit, it would make an adorable seal.

If during Halloween you have warmer weather, avoid face paints that are liable to melt. Even animal type costumes need to be avoided since it covers the most of the body. Should you want to do an animal costume, using a onesie suit or a thin romper with sleeves and legs works. Bring a blanket with you because once the sun goes down it is likely it will get cooler. The temperature during October can be a little tricky for many areas around the globe.

No matter what when parents have kids, they are thrown into two areas of life. The first thing is real adulthood with major responsibilities and second is another childhood. When you are child is getting dressed up for Halloween, you can do the same. No one thinks anything of it. The both of you can dress up together with the same kind of outfits. Some ideas include:

- A bumblebee baby and mother or father flower;
- A baby tinkerbell and a daddy Peter Pan
- Mom, dad and baby dress up as Russian dolls
- Mom, dad and baby dress up as The Three Musketeers

Let your imagination go wild and dress up with your child. Maybe your baby would make a great purse. There are just so many ideas you can come up with so you and your baby can join in on the fun.
