What are baby singlets?
Singlets refer to thin and breathable babywear that are often used as base layers or layering pieces. Made from soft materials, it is often designed to be a short-sleeved or sleeveless one piece and does not cover the legs. Baby singlets like the Snuggle Hunny Biscuit Stripe Organic Singlet are versatile pieces which can be worn with different pieces such as shorts in the summer or booties, mittens, and other layers during colder weather.
Baby Singlets VS Bodysuits: What’s the difference?
Baby singlets and bodysuits are very similar pieces that are often part of the essentials checklist for babies. Both are one piece baby apparel that come in different colours, patterns, sizes, and materials. However, singlets are generally thinner and designed for layering, which makes them great for daywear and summer outfits. Bodysuits also usually clip together between a baby’s legs, while singlets do not.
How to Choose Singlets for Babies
Whether you’re buying for your little one or finding appropriate baby shower gifts, a singlet is always a nice and practical item to receive or give. Of course, choosing the most appropriate baby singlet is necessary. A good rule to remember is that baby singlets should be reasonably snug on your little one. Always refer to the sizing before purchasing babywear and keep in mind the age and growth rate of your little one before splurging too much.
Are singlets safe for newborns and infants?
Singlets are generally safe for newborns and younger infants, provided that they are worn correctly and free from any hazardous elements that may suffocate or choke your baby. Make sure to inspect your baby singlets for loose threads, buttons, and other hard points for safety.

Dressing up a fussy baby or a delicate newborn can be nerve-wracking, but with the proper technique and practice, you can do it safely and efficiently.
To put on a baby singlet on your little one, try out these steps:
Place the singlet over the back of your baby’s head, and then over their face.
Gently guide their arms through the sleeves, avoiding any struggle as gently as possible.
Can a baby sleep in a singlet?
Singlets are generally safe for a baby to sleep in. Parents should also consider the temperature when they sleep and dress their bundles of joy appropriately. When the weather gets warmer, you can dress your baby in a singlet and diaper. For colder weather, it’s best to layer up and add mittens and socks, as well as other layers when they sleep.
What’s the best material for baby and newborn singlets?
Your little one’s skin is quite sensitive, so it’s best to choose gentle and breathable fabrics for their singlets and baby onesies. Soft, natural fibres, such as organic cotton, are excellent choices for newborn singlets as they prevent sweat from collecting on the skin.
