Three Pants: Easy pull-on style with no closures and a comfortable covered waistband.

Perfect Baby Set!
This 12-piece Essentials baby set has everything you need! The print is adorable and could truly be gender neutral but not boring at all. The fit is true to size other than the waist of the pants feeling a little big depending on your baby’s belly. Organic cotton is important to us and this hits the mark on that as well. The gown is the perfect length to use as an outfit or just an outer layer. While it has been perfect for us, this would make the perfect baby shower gift. The box and packaging is aesthetically pleasing and would be a fun unbox for any new mom!

Great Shower Gift Set!
The packaging of this set is top notch! Comes in a box with everything laid out and wrapped in tissue paper, perfect for a baby shower!! I love the bright (but still neutral) colors and prints. Initially I was skeptical, because out of the box, the material felt a little rough and stiff. After going through the wash, these pieces are SO soft! I think the sizing is probably on the small side of the range. I received 3-6m and while my son is only 4.5 months old, he is wearing 6m sizes from other brands. I would say these fit him snug compared to other clothes he has. I haven’t used the gown (personally I am not a fan of them), so I would prefer a set that included 2 sleepers. In a gift situation though, I understand including it so parents have it to test. I would have liked to see a long sleeve onesie but that’s mostly due to when I received the set. It’s winter and we live in a colder climate so I have to layer the onesies with jackets or long sleeve shirts to keep him warm. Ultimately this is set is a nice variety and great quality!

Anazing all-in-one set
This set has everything necessary for the basics a baby will need. Pajamas, booties, onesies, pants, hats! I love that everything can mix and match such as any pair of pants go perfectly with any of the onesies. The organic cotton is nice and soft. And the print is adorable! This set has become a main staple in our rotation so far. I also appreciate the generous sizing. Our guy is 5 months old and in the 90% percentile for height. These outfits and pajamas fit him great but will also last us quite some time still. Overall, I am very happy with this set!

Not quite what I was hoping for
This set arrived in a darling box, with the clothing wrapped so nicely in tissue paper. Unfortunately as I opened the box, it came with a very strong new clothes/processing smell. I was hoping it would go away after the first wash but it did not. The sizing was also too large. I received the 3-6 month size, which is my babe’s current size in other brands. I love cotton and was excited about this being organic cotton, but I would not order these if you are looking for a healthier, more natural clothing option.

Organic Layette Perfection!
This 12-piece Essentials Layette Set for my 4 month old is organic, soft, and so cute! I couldn't be happier with my choice! This set has everything you need to keep your baby comfortable and stylish right from the start.

The design of this set is absolutely adorable and modern. Each piece features lovely, neutral colors and fun patterns that are perfect for both boys and girls. The attention to detail is impressive, with cute prints and thoughtful touches that make the outfits stand out. The variety in design ensures that my baby always looks stylish and well-dressed. I just love the little space ships paired with the happy Earth onsie!

My little one is 4 months, so the 3-6 month size is what we chose. The fit of each piece is just right, providing enough room for my baby to move comfortably without being too loose or too tight. The fabrics are incredibly soft and gentle, ensuring they stay cozy and comfortable all day long. The materials are also very durable, which is essential for frequent washing.

One of the standout features of this set is how easy it makes diaper changes and dressing. The onesies and pants have secure snaps and stretchy waistbands, which make dressing and changing super quick and hassle-free. This is a huge plus, especially during late-night changes or when we're on the go. I have noticed many 3-6 month pants have a tight elastic waste band, not this one! There is room to grow, and I love that.

As a full time student, working, mom of 3, what I like most about this set is its completeness and versatility. Having a mix of onesies, pants, hats, and bibs all in one set has been incredibly convenient. Everything matches beautifully, and it’s nice to have multiple pieces that coordinate well together. The set also comes in a lovely box, making it a perfect gift for new parents. I believe it would make an excellent baby shower gift, as it combines practicality with style, ensuring that new parents have all the essentials they need.

For the price, you’re getting a fantastic assortment of high-quality organic baby essentials. It’s clear that a lot of thought has gone into the design and selection of items in this layette set. I feel it offers excellent value and peace of mind knowing my baby is dressed in safe and comfortable clothing.

I highly recommend the 12-piece Essentials Layette Set to any new parent or as a thoughtful gift. It’s a delightful, practical, and high-quality option that has met all our needs wonderfully.

Adorable, fun, gender neutral set!
I love this 12 piece set. All the prints are so fun and colorful, and the pants can be all be used with different onesies. They are gender neutral too, without giving “graybe” vibes, which I can’t stand. The is perfect for my 4.5 month old and I feel he will be able to use these at least for another two months (50i-ish percentile size). I think this would be a fabulous baby shower gift as it has all the essentials and you can mix and match while having fun. The prints are absolutely the best part and I was even more excited to see that these are all organic cotton! My one critique is that upon opening the box, the clothes had an interesting smell, almost barnyard-ish… however, as soon as I washed it went away. Overall, this set is so cute, fun to put on baby, and will make you smile when it’s on your cute baby!

Everything you need, matching, and organic cotton!
We adored this set! It was so awesome to receive multiple pieces that we would need for this little one’s size that they just grew into and helped eliminate a lot of extra spending and shopping. My favorite part about this set is that all of the pieces can be mixed and matched and will still look so put together, and that it would be cute on any gender!

The fabric is organic cotton, which is a must for newborns. It’s soft, but not packing in heat. It fit my 4 month old perfectly in the onesies and pants, with good stretch over the chubby thigh rolls and the baby looks super comfortable! The sleeper fit a bit larger but I think that’s a good thing, to allow more space for comfort. Baby was able to play comfortably in all the outfits. Everything was super easy and quick to dress and undress for diaper changes, all pieces were very uncomplicated. I really appreciated that this came with matching booties, a bib and a hat, so that all the accessories match the clothing and I don’t have to buy much else for this size. I also thought it was cool that they included a nightgown for some variety. However, every piece in this set is useful, needed, and so adorable, we will be wearing them all and saving for the next baby. Having so many must-have matching clothes conveniently in organic cotton was awesome, I would be sure to buy this for my expecting friends. It would especially make a great gift considering the adorable packaging.

Perfect Versatile Set!
I absolutely LOVE a good mix and match set and this one checked all of the boxes. Sizing was right on for all of the items, the splashes of color were fun, and all items were of a good quality. The double zipper made diaper changes easy while my little one wore the zipper pajamas and I liked that the waistband on the pants weren’t too tight on his stomach. I would also consider this a gender neutral set, which can be hard to come by. This would be a great gift for any family!

A great gift!!
This 12 piece set is everything I was looking for my baby! The material of this set is soft, and breathable. The prints of this 12 piece set is bright with colors which I love and can be used for boy or girl! The footies pajama has a double zipper which is great and easy for diaper changing, along with the gown being able to have easy access, and with both of these they have built in mittens!
I love how versatile the onesie sets and pants are, that you can mix match them along with the little hats and booties. I overall think this would be a great gift for a baby shower as it has a little bit of everything in this set. I can’t wait for my baby to wear it when he’s born!

Cute capsule wardrobe!
I absolutely loved the look of this set — so fun for future planet lovers. We got the 3-6 month size, and it fit great for our big baby. Not too big or small, but had room to grow as needed. The material was soft and thick at the same time. A set of clothes like this would make a great baby shower gift to get a baby’s closet started — it is perfect for mixing and matching (so many outfits!), gender neutral, and bright to catch babies’ attention. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the closures are a little *too* secure. I had to use my nail to pop the snaps open, however the pants were some of the easiest I’ve had to get on my baby and not tight around his belly. The hat also fit his head really well, and he has a big noggin! We get a lot of marks on his forehead and didn’t with this set. Lastly, the clothes had a bit of an odd smell when I opened the box, but went away when washing before we tried them on. Overall, I would recommend this set!
