Get ready for all the snuggles – Carter’s new My First Love Collection has everything parents and gifters will need to welcome home baby. We all know and love our most-loved styles like the Original Bodysuit™ and 5-Star Sleep & Play™. But this year, we’ve changed things up by expanding our line of essentials with elevated design in new prints and textures along with brand new offerings.

“The muted pastels and soft neutrals were inspired by nature,” said Design Director Isabel Arenas. “They’re timeless shades that never go out of style.” The summer line also spotlights three seasonal prints: Sage Voyager, Little Lilac and Elephant Gray. “These prints add a touch of whimsy and personality to your baby's wardrobe,” said Arenas.

Every product was designed with special features parents know and love.

Bodysuits

Features include long-lasting snaps that hold up after wear, wash, repeat; overlap shoulders that expand over baby’s body for easy changes (and can be removed entirely without going over their head in the event of a blowout emergency); soft, 100% cotton that’s gentle on baby’s skin, plus no itchy tags.

Sleep & Play

Our day-to-night, anytime staple 5-Star Sleep & Play™ is the most practical outfit for new babies. Its two-way zip design zips-up from the feet so you don’t have to undress baby, and cuddle tabs at the top keep little chins protected from zippers.

Outfit Sets

An outfit in an instant. This parent-favorite takes the thinking out of getting a little one dressed. Each seasonal launch is designed with distinct color palettes and prints to make it easy for parents to mix and match with layering pieces and pants (easy pull-on style and elastic waist keeps baby comfortable all day). Accessories like hats, headbands, bibs and socks also make it easy to add a bit of flair to baby’s OOTD. With (new!) unexpected details and textures, these sets make the perfect coming home outfit — and a great gift, too.

Sleeper Gowns & Wearable Blankets

For bedtime, the new sleeper gowns’ open bottom makes for quick, easy diaper changes, while a cinched design keeps baby’s feet warm during sleep time. When baby is finished swaddling (around 3 months), transition into sleep bags, a.k.a. wearable blankets. Safer than traditional blankets, sleep bags all have a TOG (Thermal Overall Grade) rating of 1.0, meaning they’re made to keep baby at just the right temp.
