The Three Styles Every Newborn Needs: Footies, Gowns & Coveralls
by Magnetic Me Dec 22 2025
From the minute they’re born, your baby is constantly changing—and needing to get changed. They’ll need cozy styles in super-soft fabrics; you’ll need pieces you can quickly take on and off, again and again.
Here, find our three must-have styles for these early days (and late nights) with magnetic closures to make dressing easy.
Footies: The 24/7 Essential
Best Style for:
Babies NB-24M
Wear for:
Sleep and play, in soft stretchy fabrics made for many washes
Pro tip:
Babies sleep better when they've moved their bodies. Footies let them get their kicks out on the playmat, and then segue right into a nap in the crib.
Why parents love it:
“Love the silky-soft fabric and easy-to-use closures. Makes nighttime changing so easy and stress free.”
—Madeline

Gowns: The Nighttime Hero
Best Style for:
Babies NB-3M
Wear for:
Sleep, with magnets for quick changes at all hours of the night
Pro tip:
During their first days home, gowns with kimono-style magnetic closures are gentle for healing belly buttons.
Why parents love it:
“Greatest thing ever for nighttime changes with your newborn.”
—Caroline

Convertible Coveralls: The Grow-With-Me Staple
Best Style for:
Babies NB-24M
Wear for:
Sleep, play, crawling, and walking, with adjustable cuffs that expose hands and feet for grip
Pro tip:
Free play accelerates brain development, and convertible coveralls adjust for every move.
Why parents love it:
“I love that this one has convertible feet so he can have all the sensory experiences and also warmth when needed.”
—Lauren H.
