Best Baby Pajamas of 2021

Babies have sensitive skin — harsh or treated fabrics can irritate or even cause rashes. This Burt’s Bees pajama is made from certified cotton. The fabric is also highly breathable, to help your baby maintain a good body temperature.

Long zippers are a gift from heaven when you need to change your little one. In this pajama, the zipper runs all the way down the leg. Sleeves have wide cuffs and scratch mitts are incorporated on the newborn and 0-3 month sizes.

The PJ is footed, and there is elastic at the ankles to keep the footies in place.

Separate socks or booties are cute. But if your baby pulls off everything you put on them, it can cause more trouble than it’s worth. This one-piece footed pajama can keep your baby warm and happy.

With a footed pajama, like this one, you won’t have to worry much about your precious peanut getting cold feet. The pajama is made from 100 percent cotton and has a snug fit. The feet have a non-slip grip finish for walking.

Tags can be a nuisance, and if you cut them off, you’re often left with harsh edges. In this pajama, however, the label is printed onto the fabric.

For babies on the larger side, a footless pajama might be a better choice. My babies were chunky and tall, therefore, footed PJs were outgrown super quick.

Something lightweight and breathable is an excellent choice for warm summers.

These cotton pajamas are a snug-fit, although not flame-resistant.

Footed PJs aren’t always ideal for babies learning to walk since they easily slip. But, at the bottom of the feet in this pajama, there’s a non-slip grip. Burt’s Bees calls it the “bee grip,” (you’ll see why), so it will help your baby stay upright as they move about.

The long zipper will help to get the snug-fit PJs on and off easily. The sleeves have ribbed cuffs to keep them from slipping over your baby’s hands, and smaller sizes have convertible mitts in the cuffs.

Unisex clothing can be so charming. Not everyone is into princesses or trucks. Unisex clothing takes a more neutral approach, but that doesn’t necessarily mean boring.

This footed PJ is designed with a cute giraffe on the front. It’s a snug fit, so there are no flame-retardant chemicals to worry about.
