Baby Pajamas & Newborn Sleepwear

FAQs

What should a newborn wear to sleep?

For newborns, a fitted one-piece pajama or knotted gown is ideal. Dress your baby in one layer more than you're comfortable in, and always choose breathable fabrics like bamboo or cotton to prevent overheating. Avoid loose blankets in the sleep space — warm, snug-fitting sleepwear is the safest option for the first year.

Are bamboo baby pajamas safe for newborns?

Yes — bamboo is one of the safest and most recommended fabrics for newborn sleepwear. It's naturally hypoallergenic, free from synthetic irritants, and highly breathable, which helps regulate your baby's body temperature overnight. Our bamboo baby pajamas are also designed with safety in mind: snug-fitting styles that meet standard sleepwear guidelines.

What is a knotted baby gown, and when should I use one?

A knotted baby gown is a simple open-bottom sleep gown with a knotted or tied closure at the feet — no snaps or zippers needed. It's especially popular for the newborn stage (0–3 months) because it makes diaper changes faster and easier in the dark, and works perfectly during umbilical cord healing when you want to avoid pressure on the belly button area.

How many baby pajamas do I need?

Most parents find that 5–7 pairs of baby pajamas is a good starting point, accounting for spit-up, diaper blowouts, and frequent washing. Having a mix of styles — a few knotted gowns for the early newborn weeks and a few zip or snap pajamas for as your baby grows — gives you flexibility across the first several months.

When do babies stop wearing newborn-size pajamas?

Most babies outgrow Newborn sizing between 6–8 weeks, though babies born on the smaller side may wear them a bit longer. We recommend having a mix of Newborn and 0–3 Month sizing on hand before your baby arrives. Our baby pajamas are sized to run true, so you won't need to size up unnecessarily in the early weeks.

Those first weeks home with a newborn are a blur of feedings, diaper changes, and not enough sleep — the last thing you need is complicated clothing. STORQ’s baby pajamas and newborn sleepwear are designed to make those middle-of-the-night moments a little softer for both of you.

What's the Best Fabric for Baby Pajamas?

For newborns and infants, fabric is everything. Bamboo is widely considered one of the best choices for baby sleepwear because it's naturally hypoallergenic, incredibly soft against sensitive skin, and temperature-regulating — meaning it helps keep babies from overheating in summer and retaining warmth in cooler months. Unlike synthetic blends, bamboo is also moisture-wicking and becomes softer with every wash. All of our bamboo baby pajamas are free from harsh chemicals and dyes, making them a safer choice for babies with eczema-prone or reactive skin. When it comes to baby pajamas, the fabric you choose matters as much as the fit.
