The cotton gown is a layette "must-have" - in fact, a new mom will be needing several of these newborn wardrobe staples. Ours is made from super soft cotton that has been embroidered with one of our exclusive designs. The gown is made to fit from newborns until about four months of age and has long sleeves with a protective "mitten" at the end of each sleeve to protect the baby from scratching itself. The elastic closure at the bottom makes it super easy to make those frequent diaper changes during the first several months.
