What to look for

  1. Ear flaps and chin ties help hats stay on. Check how the brand sizes by head circumference.
  2. Sizes vary by brand. Many brands size by weight and height, not age. See each brand's sizes

How many hats to buy

Typical counts from 11 published baby clothing checklists, adjusted to your answers.

How far ahead are you shopping?

Your call. Some parents buy the first size and shop as baby grows; others stock up a year out. Babies grow at their own pace, so keep tags and receipts on later sizes in case you need to swap.

How often do you do laundry?

No washer at home, or a trip to the laundromat? Pick about once a week.

How we count
  • Each number is the typical (middle) count across the checklists. Most give one total for the newborn stage, so Newborn and 0–3 months share one number.
  • The counts assume laundry every 2–3 days. About once a week roughly doubles it (Babylist, Nurture&). A winter baby gets 2 extra pairs of socks (Babylist).
  • Each size is worn for about 3 months starting from the due month. Snowsuits, mittens and outerwear count only for sizes worn in fall or winter; sun hats and swimwear only in spring or summer.

Before you buy

four things to check
  • The smallest size.22 of the 38 brands with a size list here start at newborn or smaller.
  • The fiber.It is on the product page and the sewn-in label.
  • The regular price.Sale prices come and go. The table here lists regular prices.
  • The return window.Check how long the store gives you to send a size back.
