baby-sleepsuits
A baby sleepsuit is a one-piece item of baby clothing with long sleeves and legs, and they can be footed or footless. A sleepsuit for older children and adults is typically called a onesie.
A baby sleepsuit is typically made from cotton and closed with snaps (otherwise known as poppers, which nowadays are nickel-free), although they may also be made from fleece or closed with zips. The feet are often enclosed, but they may be footless. Sometimes built in scratch mitts are also part of the sleepsuit. If it doesn't have integrated scratch mitts then you'll want to buy some baby scratch mitts too.
