What do you think about turning your child into a nice giraffe for a few hours? Or to characterize the little one as a small elephant calf? Turning your daughter into a beautiful butterfly can become one of the most endearing visions of your life and you can even honour one of the characters that you liked the most when you were a child disguising your baby as Maya Bee.
Flamenco: If you have a girl and she has already shown her interest in dancing, why don’t you take advantage of this carnival to turn her into an authentic flamenco? She will be delighted with her long polka dot dress and you will be happy, proudly showing your daughter in disguise.

Recommendations for choosing baby costumes
Baby costumes don’t have to be complicated and you don’t need to empty your pockets to get the most original one. You just need a bit of imagination and skill for your child to enjoy its first Carnival to the fullest.
However, the most important thing when choosing the costume, beyond the theme, is to consider certain considerations related to health and safety. In that sense, a child costume, whether handmade or purchased, should be:
Respectful with the skin: Baby skin is very delicate, for that reason the material from its costume must be natural and organic, to avoid possible redness. It’s also important to take care of the details, hence the seams must be located in a way that doesn’t disturb or damage your baby.
Comfortable: As with clothing, the child’s costume should allow maximum freedom of movement and should also include brackets on the bottom to allow you to change the diaper without undressing.
Safe: It’s essential to make sure that the costume doesn’t include any embellishments or incrustations that the child can put in its mouth and cause choking. Fixing these elements strongly or removing them is the perfect solution to avoid possible scares.
