Bodies - Baby Boy

The first garment you put on in the morning, the body takes baby from getting washed to naptime. At Tartine et Chocolat, the baby boy body features a pointed collar, delicate embroidery or pintuck pleats, like a little shirt made just for him. Cut from soft cotton, it can be worn on its own in warmer weather or under a sweater when the air turns cool, and fits naturally into our collection of baby boy clothes.

What is a baby boy body for?

Closed at the crotch, the body stays in place when baby wriggles or is passed from one pair of arms to another. His back and tummy stay covered, even when he stretches out on his play mat, and you can change his nappy without taking the body off completely. Worn under one of our baby boy outfits and dungarees, it makes an elegant alternative to a shirt and keeps his outfit looking neat all day.

Pointed collar and embroidery: the baby shirt-style body

The pointed collar gives the body the look of a little shirt, perfect for a family lunch or a keepsake photo. Pintuck pleats create a delicate texture on the front. Elsewhere, embroidery tells little stories featuring a dog, a dinosaur or a car. In ecru, white, horizon blue, navy or mustard, each style pairs with a cardigan or velvet trousers.

Until what age can a baby boy wear a body?

Essential in the first few months, the body can be worn for much longer: many parents continue using it until their child is 2 or 3, as long as it makes nappy changes easier. Our selection therefore accompanies baby from 1 month to 3 years. How do you know when to go up a size? When the crotch poppers become difficult to fasten or the body pulls at the shoulders, it's time for the next size.

For baby's arrival, our newborn boys' bodies offer the same softness in sizes suited to newborns. For little sisters or cousins, our baby girl bodies have the same délicatesse. And to put together a wardrobe for those first days, discover our advice on dressing a newborn.
