Beatrix Potter’s infamous rabbit has long appeared on baby items, and we can't help but love Peter Rabbit baby clothes. They're just super sweet with a touch of nostalgia, plus any baby will look adorable wearing them.

Shopping for baby clothes for your newborn is easier than ever because there's nothing more exciting than filling baby drawers or wardrobes with cute little outfits from all of your favourite retailers. But choosing what style of clothes you want for your baby can be the trickier part, especially getting quality, comfortable pieces that still look good.

Peter Rabbit themed clothing are the perfect choice, because not only are they incredibly cute, but they also add character to more neutral baby clothes. You're almost guaranteed to get an 'aw' from anyone looking at your little one.

What story is Peter Rabbit from?

Our favourite little rabbit was originally featured in his debut children's book, 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit'. He was created, written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, with that first story being commercially published in 1902. Since his debut, he's featured in countless stories, on page and the big screen. He's had the hearts of several generations of child over his time and with his sweet but mischievous personality, we can see why.

What should you consider when buying clothes for your baby?

Size - The sizing tag may say one thing, but every baby grows at their own speed so, make sure you know baby's measurements before you pick out a size for them to wear.

Style - This is the fun part and why we love Peter Rabbit inspired baby clothes so much. When buying clothes for your little one, make sure you love the look of them so you actually enjoy dressing baby in them.

Material - Your choice of material will depend on the weather and how comfortable you think your child will be wearing it. Make sure your choice of clothes is breathable and soft against their skin.

Budget - It can be tempting to splurge when you have a baby, especially on cute clothes, but future you will thank you for setting a budget and sticking to it. There are always lovely, affordable options out there.
