Baby clothes that combine softness, practicality and style. Cotton bodysuits, summer rompers, knitted sets, grow-with-me clothes and maternity fashion: our selection accompanies every stage of the early months — guaranteed comfort for baby, simplicity for parents.
A baby’s first clothes are part of every moment of their day: naptimes, feeds, outings and their first games. At PetitMaxou, we select items that combine absolute comfort for a baby’s delicate skin, practicality for parents in a hurry, and style for outfits you’ll love to photograph.
Certain pieces are essential right from birth. The bodysuit - in cotton or organic cotton, short or long sleeves depending on the season - forms the basis of all outfits. The romper (playsuit) is perfect for hot days: just one piece to slip on, comfortable, looks lovely in photos. The knitted sets offer a more dressed-up look for outings or family visits.
Don't forget the essential accessories: hats and booties for the first few weeks, bibs for weaning, and a few comfortable pyjamas.
Baby sizes are shown in months but actually correspond to centimetres. It is better to rely on the size in cm than the exact age. If in doubt, go for the larger size: babies grow quickly.
In terms of materials, the cotton remains the safe choice: soft, breathable, washable at high temperatures. The organic cotton GOTS or OEKO-TEX certified guarantees the absence of pesticides and harmful substances. For winter, cotton-merino wool blends offer warmth and thermal regulation without scratching.
Dressing a newborn can become a challenge at 3 am. A few details make life much easier: the pressures (faster than buttons),’front opening (rather than going through the head), the wide sleeves, the integrated feet for the winter pyjamas.
We also offer a selection fashion for mums pieces designed for pregnancy and breastfeeding, comfortable cuts, soft fabrics. Because mothers-to-be and new mums also deserve to feel beautiful.
How many clothes should I pack for a newborn? About 6 bodysuits, 6 sleepsuits, 3-4 daytime outfits, a few pairs of socks and 2 hats for the first few weeks.
Should clothes be washed before first use? Yes, always. A gentle wash removes production residues and potential allergens.
