The Cutest Infant and Toddler Halloween Costumes

Baby costumes that are good enough to eat. Just make sure you don't leave your baby behind in the pumpkin patch...

Let your little one run wild in one of these adorable zoo animal costumes. Elephants, monkeys, and giraffes are just the start.

Keep your baby as snug as a bug in a rug and cute as a button to boot.

- Try to take your photographs in the morning or afternoon as noon lighting is not as flattering as other times of the day.

- Use a flash if the lighting is not that bright or you are indoors (even if the lighting is good).

- Use a flash if your hands are not that steady. On an automatic camera the shutter needs to open for longer without the flash (unless the lighting is very bright) leaving more time for hand-shake to affect the image.

- Take multiple shots at a time. Some cameras allow for rapid fire shooting by holding down the button. This is the best way to capture those magical poses where if you go for a single shot you might miss the smile or catch the shot as a head turns or eyes blink.

- Get down to your child's level occasionally. You don't want all your shots to be taken with your child looking up at you.

- Don't forget to allow some photos of you with your child. You might hate them now, but you'll love having them in a few years' time. Just put on your best smile, get into the moment, and put the camera out of your mind.

Does your household feel as crazy as a farmyard full of animals? Dress your baby to fit in.

They're cute enough to cuddle and now they're soft and fluffy too.

Sometimes they can make as much noise as a herd of dragons. Let them out on a rampage in these cute costumes.

They have you so wrapped around their little fingers it's enough to tug on your heartstrings.

Pumpkins, crayons, and witches make adorable little Halloween trick-or-treaters.
