Look for soft, breathable fabrics that are gentle on sensitive skin and easy to wash. Many premature baby clothes also feature wrap-over fastenings or open fronts, making it easier to dress your little one without too much handling. If your baby is in neonatal care, clothing with simple access points is especially helpful for medical monitoring and comfort.

   100% cotton or organic fabrics for sensitive skin. Tag-free, seam-free designs with no scratchy materials for added comfort.
   
4. Hats & Mittens
   Soft cotton hats to help retain body heat. Scratch mittens to protect delicate skin.

What premature baby clothes a NICU baby can wear will depend on it's stage of development and it's current care. It's best to ask the medical team.

However many NICUs will allow NICU-friendly options such as incubator vests, gowns, and side-snap tops which allow for medical access and minimal handling. Accessories like soft hats and stay-on mittens help keep tiny babies warm and protected.
