There are numerous options to make a baby costume for Halloween, so you can let your imagination go. First, decide whether you want to dress up as a regular baby or a scary baby, as this will determine your clothing.
If you choose to dress like regular baby, the recommended option will be to make a nappy from a white cloth. To do this, you must give it a shape like that of underwear but too big, then fill it with a material such as foam or cushion padding. Also, you must place an elastic on the top of the fictional nappy to fasten it properly. You can also use a nappy if you're going for a scary baby too.
To cover your torso, you can choose a colorful t-shirt in pink or fuchsia tones and cover it with a bib with a child like print on it which you can make yourself or purchase from a store.
In case you want to dress like a baby that isn't wearing diapers any longer,a baby, there are infinite possibilities to do so. Normally, people go for clothes in pink tones for the female connotations this carries. But you can go for other colors, especially if you are a boy.
So you can search around the house for pieces of clothing in pink tones, such as old pajamas or an old t-shirt and shorts. If you have nothing that fits the bill you can choose to make the baby's costume yourself, whether for a man or a woman.

- Dummy
- Baby bottle (fill with red liquid depicting blood if you're a scary baby)

- Rattles (if you're going for a scary costume you can add some splashes of blood)
- Lollipops or sweets
