Historically, clothing for babies is recent. In the 19rd century, the children were wrapped then equipped with the clothing copied from those of the adults in miniature. The childlike fashion starts to be simplified in the 18rd century even if it still imitates clothing of the adults.

In the 19rd century appears the concept of bracket age who allows the real development of childlike fashion which was limited before to the port of a dress (girl and boy) as soon as they walk.

The Western tradition that chooses baby clothes white, pink or blue dates from the 20rd century. Its origin remains uncertain and two hypotheses divide it. One is the result of religious imagination to interpret the colors without specifically attaching them to a sex. The other advance that since the Middle Ages, the red symbolizes the woman and thus blue the man by opposition, the colors would have been softened to be carried by children.
