From cozy 1-piece pajamas to breath sleep gowns and 2-piece pajama sets, bedtime fashion has never looked — or felt — so good. Whether you have a fresh newborn, teething 6-month-old, “I do it myself” toddler, or grows-like-a-week big kid, this guide has everything you need to choose the best pajamas for your child, because every kid is different.
Our fabrics
Cotton: Our 100% cotton pajamas are soft, breathable and gentle on baby’s delicate skin. The extremely cozy and comfortable fabric is great for all-day wear, which is why it’s a top choice for our Sleep & Play™ styles.
Poly-blend: Our polyester jersey fabric is soft and breathable. It has a looser fit than our cotton sets.
Fleece: Fleece pajamas are a wonderful choice for keeping your little one warm on chilly winter nights.
Thermal: Our polyester thermal pajamas keep children warm and cozy without restricting movement. They also absorb moisture, which is key to keeping them comfortable at night and through wintertime.
Organic cotton: Little Planet® pajamas and Sleep & Play styles are made of GOTS-certified organic cotton. These super soft cotton PJs should always fit snugly.
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose: Our PurelySoft™ pajamas are made of this silky soft, responsibly sourced fabric. The unbelievable stretchy fabric is meant to wear year-round.
Snaps vs. 2-Way Zip
The strong snaps and handy 2-way zippers on Carter’s® Sleep & Play styles allow for quick and easy changes. Both are great options for newborns and babies, so try one of each to see what works best for you and your baby — and then stock up on a bunch.
Sleeper Gowns and Wearable Blankets
For newborns and infants, a sleeper gown or wearable blanket (sleep sack) is ideal to keep them snug and warm all night. Ribbed cuffs help keep sleeves in place while your baby sleeps. The 2-way zipper design on our wearable blankets makes nighttime changes a breeze, while the cuddle tab at the top protects baby’s chin and neck. Notable features of the sleeper gown include overlap shoulders for easy dressing and snug elastic to keep baby’s legs warm, among others.
Baby Girl Sleeper Gowns
Footie Pajamas vs. Footless Pajamas
One-piece footie pajamas help keep your little one’s toes cozy, a definite benefit when the temperatures dip. These are also the way to go if your baby has a tendency to kick off socks. Footless pajamas are a great choice no matter what time of year, and when playtime turns into naptime or when getting ready for bed doesn’t mean going to bed right away.
Loose-Fitting Kids Pajamas
If your little one prefers pajamas that aren’t so snug, Carter’s also offers loose-fitting sleepwear for big kids. Styles include a wide range of silhouette and details, so there is something for every little sleeper. Some of these pajamas are made with a poly blend fabric and come in 4-piece and 2-piece sets for plenty of mix-and-match fun. (Added bonus: The looser fit styles give them room to grow between sizes!)
Crafted in soft, lightweight jersey or cozy fleece, a nightgown is a perfect choice to keep your little girl comfy and cozy while she sleeps. They’re especially great for those hot summer nights or warmer fall and spring evenings.
Mix & Match Pajama Sets
We make 4-piece sleep sets with separate tops and bottoms for boys and girls, sizes 6M to 14. With ribbed necklines and a covered elastic waistband, our mix-and-match PJ sets are designed with comfort and movement in mind. And should your little one have a bedtime accident, these pajama sets make middle of the night changes quick and easy. Our multi-piece pajamas come in a variety of prints and designs your littles will love.
At Carter’s, we’re with you from those first few nights at home to their first sleepover and beyond. Now that you have the information, good night’s sleep is just a click away. Shop our full selection of baby, toddler and kids pajamas here.
