Without further ado, here are the top 10 must-haves indoor clothing items for your baby’s first year:

1. Onesies

Perfect for sleep and play, onesies are versatile pieces of clothing that every baby should have in their dresser. Onesies can be easily layered when it starts getting a bit more chilly, making them suitable not only for indoor activities but for quick errands as well!

With our Muffin Onesie your baby will be able to play without restrictions! You can choose between the short-sleeved or long-sleeved design; either way we suggest pairing it with a pair of our soft and comfy leggings or pants for playtime or trips at the park. Your baby will love his cute yet comfy little outfit!


Celebrate baby’s milestones up to their first birthday with our Birthdays & Milestones Onesies: each onesie has an illustration that represents baby’s cognitive developments for each monthly milestone. Super duper cute!

2. Playsuit

As the name suggests, playsuits are perfect for playtime, but if you choose the right playsuit, your baby will be able to easily transition from sleep to play in no time!
It’s versatility and comfiness makes it an absolute must-have for newbie mommies and daddies.

The Muffin Playsuit, available in both short sleeves and long sleeves, is engineered with our Stretch your Leg Design: your baby will be able to toss and turn however they want, whether they are dozing or playfully running around the house.

3. Sleepers 

Your baby should be able to effortlessly have deep and restorative sleeps, which are vital for his health and overall mood. And let’s be real, newbie parents’ quality of sleep highly depends on their baby’s. Therefore having a cozy and comfy sleeper that won’t restrict your baby’s movements is a must!

Our Long-Sleeved Pajamas & Sleepers are perfect for snug, chilly nights! You can choose between the button-up and zip-up options, which are both nickel and lead-free, making them extra safe for your sweet baby. The latter option also has a safe running board as well as a neck guard at the end of the zip.
Our Stretch your Leg design will allow your baby to move around while sleeping. You’ll be surprised to see all of the weird sleeping positions that your baby is able to pull out of their repertoire when they are extremely comfortable!

4. Pajamas

I think we can all agree when I say that a baby wearing matching pajamas is one of the cutest things in the world! Not only they look cute, but are a must-have for your sweet baby’s closet. Make sure to check that the waistbands are stretchy and perfectly fit your baby’s waist.

The Muffin Lullaby Two-Piece are versatile and incredibly comfy matching pajamas, handcrafted with love for your lovely baby. Carefully tested for baby’s safety, it will make Mommy and Daddy’s sleep much more serene as well. Sogni d’oro! (Sweet dreams!)

5. Sleeping Sacks

An easy slip-on sleepwear is an absolute must-have for newbie parents: your baby will hate changing clothes even more when they’re already sleepy. A baby moving and rolling around while having tantrums can not only be stressful for mommy, but also potentially dangerous for baby.
The best solutions for this is a sleeping sack with an open-bottom design that is extremely easy to put on.

The Muffin Angel Suit is a sleeping sack with an Open Bottom Design, making it super easy to slip on, even when baby’s already fast asleep; this type of design will also allow them to move their legs however they want.
And if you don’t want to change your baby for playtime, just close the snaps at the bottom part of the Muffin Angel Suit to have an instant playsuit: your baby will be ready to go play in no time!

6. Tees

Easy to dress up or down, super duper soft tees are an absolute necessity for your baby’s wardrobe. Make sure to check that the t-shirts that you choose for your baby are extra stretchy, that way they’ll be able to go by their day-to-day activities in full comfort.

Our Tees, T-shirts and Tops for babies all have breathable and stretchy sleeves, making them perfect for his daily activities or playdates. And if they get sleepy, you can avoid changing them, as our super comfy tees and tops are also suitable for sleep.

7. Pants

Pants can either be paired with onesies, as well as a soft and cute t-shirt, effortlessly bringing an outfit to a whole ‘nother level. But with newborns and babies, comfort and safety comes before style, so make sure to check that the garments are compliant to safety standards before purchasing. We also suggest checking that the waistband is stretchy enough, so your baby can run around without any difficulties.

Our Leggings and Pants are all designed to be trustworthy companions for your baby’s daily activities, in and out the house. Their waistbands and leg design are engineered to follow your baby’s movements, thanks to their stretchiness and softness.

8. Bib

Whether you’re breastfeeding or teaching your babies how to eat by themselves, bibs are a must-have for every newbie parent. Things will get pleasantly messy!

Our Bibs are made out of soft organic cotton, making them super soft and safe for your baby’s delicate skin. You won’t have to worry too much about your baby making a mess, since our bibs are incredibly easy to clean: just throw them in the washer!

9. Footies

You never know when will your baby try to start walking so it’s important to always be ready when that moment arrives. Make sure that your baby takes his first steps in complete safety with non-slip footies.
Footies should always fit snugly for extra comfort.

Our Shoes and Footies are easy on and off, equipped with anti-slip soles, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor use. A safe elastic will secure it to your baby’s feet, keeping them completely comfy whether they’re starting to give walking a try or already confidently walking around the house.

10. Warming Hat

Warming hats will come in useful from baby’s day one, through their move from the hospital to their house, up to their first trips with Mommy and Daddy out of the house. It will protect your baby from unpredictable weather and humidity, an absolute must-have!

Our Muffin Warming Hat is easily adjustable to snuggly fit your baby’s head: just fold it until it fits perfectly, without having to worry about the folds being uncomfortable or bulky.
Our iconic Muffin patch is designed to be non-scratchy for baby’s delicate skin.
Bonus: it can also double purpose as a thinking hat for your adorable baby!
