Obsessed with this sweater on my little one. Put it through the wash already and it washed super well, held it's shape. This is going to be worn a LOT this season. Happy with my purchase!

I received this headband and matching sleeper as a gift for my newborn and I am so impressed that this headband actually fits her head! I'm so used to large cloth matching bows to always be way too big for babies head even if they claim they are 0-6 months.This fit my one month old perfectly and has enough stretch to continue fitting her growing head. It also stayed on for our entire outing today!
