Gender-Neutral Baby Pants, 0-24M

Baby pants live or die by the waist and the rise, not the print. A flat, wide fold-over waistband or soft ribbed elastic sits high over a cloth or disposable diaper without digging in, and a roomy seat keeps the pants from riding up mid-crawl. Harem-style pants give the most diaper room and stretch longest as the baby grows; slim leggings layer best under a romper or knit dress. For length to grow into, look for fold-up ribbed cuffs at the ankle and a roll-down waistband you can cuff now and let out later. Footed pants skip socks for newborns; footless pairs add traction for crawlers and new walkers. Buy by weight, since labels run small: newborn fits about 5-8 lbs, 0-3M 7-12 lbs, 3-6M 12-16 lbs, 6-12M 17-22 lbs, then 12-24M. Expect $12-$24 for a single legging, $16-$30 for harem or jogger pants, and $24-$45 for a two-pack or a top-and-pants set in organic cotton or bamboo.
