Basic Leggings

The Rai & Co Baby Leggings are the finishing piece of the Basics Range — and once you try them, you'll order them in every colour. Designed specifically for babies who are still in nappies, with a gentle, lighter waistband that won't dig into little bellies and a drop crotch to accommodate a full nappy without pulling or bunching. Part of our Basics Range, they're built to pair with our Baby Singlet Bodysuit and Long Sleeve Bodysuit for a complete, coordinated everyday outfit.

Care Instructions

Cold hand wash separately before first use. Machine wash on a cool gentle cycle with like colours. Do not use fabric softener on children's clothing — it can affect the garment's properties over time. Always check the care label inside for full instructions. Colours may vary slightly from screen to screen due to photography lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age are baby leggings suitable for?

Our Baby Leggings are available from newborn (0000) through to size 1, covering babies from birth to approximately 12 months. The drop crotch design makes them ideal from the very earliest weeks when your baby is still in newborn nappies.

Why does the waistband matter so much in baby leggings?

Standard elasticated waistbands can dig into a baby's soft, rounded belly — especially when they're sitting or during tummy time. The Rai & Co Baby Leggings use a lighter, gentler waistband specifically designed to sit comfortably without pressure, even over a full nappy.

What is a drop crotch and why does it matter for babies?

A drop crotch means extra fabric is built into the seat of the leggings, giving room for a bulky nappy without the leggings pulling tight or restricting your baby's movement. Without a drop crotch, nappy-aged babies often find leggings uncomfortable or restrictive — particularly during tummy time and crawling.

Are baby leggings suitable for eczema-prone babies?

Yes. The soft cotton blend and gentle waistband make these leggings a good choice for babies with sensitive or eczema-prone skin. Wash with a fragrance-free, gentle detergent and avoid fabric softeners for best results.

How do I style baby leggings?

The simplest combination is the Rai & Co Singlet Bodysuit or Long Sleeve Bodysuit paired with the Baby Leggings — it's a complete outfit in two pieces. Add a Rai & Co Ribbed or Apple Onesie on top for extra warmth in winter, or keep it as a two-piece for easy, relaxed days at home.
