Hats for Your Baby and Toddler

As you build your little one’s wardrobe, don’t forget to add some baby hats into the mix. Wonderfully colorful, comfortable, and practical, baby hats complete most outfits and provide protection for your baby’s head without being too big, loose, or itchy. These are absolute must-haves for your holiday packing checklist for babies and toddlers, especially if you plan on spending a lot of time outdoors. 


Are baby hats worth it?

Baby hats bring a lot of fashion, utility, and convenience to your bub’s wardrobe. For one, it’s an essential part of sun safety for babies. This is true for baby sun hats, which are especially useful if you’re spending a whole day’s adventure outside. 


Do hats shape a newborn’s head?

Generally, no. Most baby hats, including newborn caps, aren’t designed to reshape a baby’s head. However, for both safety and health reasons, it is inadvisable to leave a hat on when they sleep. 


Frequently Asked Questions

How long can a baby wear a hat?

Generally, a baby hat can be worn as long as they are quite comfortable. It should be noted that babies, specifically newborns, are not required to wear hats. In this case, be mindful of your little one’s comfort and adjust their clothing accordingly. 

When should babies wear hats?

In general, your little one should wear a hat if it's cold outside or when the indoor temperature is too cold. Even when indoors, you must constantly monitor your baby's temperature to make sure that, even with their hat on, they are neither too hot nor too cold. 

Should infants wear baby hats?

Newborns and infants are not required to wear a hat, especially once they make it out of the hospital if the temperature is warm. Generally, your baby should sport a hat when it’s too cold or if they will be exposed to too much sun. Other than that, baby hats are completely optional. 

How do you put a hat on a newborn?

When you put on a hat on a newborn, it’s important to be gentle and mindful of your baby’s head and neck. Gently support your child’s neck and slide the hat atop your little one’s head, right above their ears. Adjust the baby hat to its most comfortable position as necessary.
