Ideas for preemie Halloween costumes

Does anyone have any great ideas on how to dress up your preemie for Halloween, either in the NICU or at home?

I didn't dress up my preemie her first two Halloween's because I'm seriously lacking in costume creativity and talent.

A few great ideas were shared on my preemie parenting blog in the article

Preemie Halloween Costumes

but I would love to get even more ideas from all of you.  What have you done in the past and what are you planning for this year?

Thanks!

  • We were thinking of trying to make a wonder woman costume with the little crown, a small cape, and a painted onesie and superman could work for a boy.  Because let's face it all preemies are amazing!

  • Wesley is going to be BammBamm b/c he loves carying his baseball bat around, so I'm going to make either a Flinstone car or Dino cut-out out of cardboard to attach to the side of C's stroller so she can trick-or-treat with us :). I think I have a little leopard print pair of pants she can wear as well. She'll be comfortable and will match her big brother! I also thought it would be cute to do a mouse costume, a caterpillar/cocoon, or a flower...I thought all of those sounded sweet for an itty-bitty!
