Premature baby clothing
For babies born earlier than expected, our premature range offers comfort, care and affordability without compromise.
When your baby arrives earlier than expected, attention to detail is everything. From treatment and feeding to washing and dressing, the needs of premature babies are unique. Our latest baby range has been specially designed with softness, comfort and practicality at its heart, so you can focus on what really matters — cuddles, care and those all-important first moments. “At Primark, we make products that are for everybody, taking into consideration the end use at all aspects of the product development stages.” - Jennifer Geraghty, Primark Baby Department Buyer
This principle has shaped a collection that brings peace of mind to new parents and comfort to the smallest of wearers. From our 2-Pack Sleepers ($10) and complete 6-Piece Starter Set ($16), to the heartwarming 2-Piece Cardigan & Hat Set ($8), every product is made from 100% cotton, chosen specifically for its softness and breathability. Highlighting the range’s thoughtful design details, Geraghty explains: “Babies have incredibly delicate skin, which is why our 100% cotton interlock fabric is both super-soft and breathable.”
But it’s not just the fabric that makes this range special, it’s the function. Medical needs like feeding tubes and IV lines require clothing to adapt. That’s why these garments feature a soft touch closure and are designed to open out flat, making dressing and undressing as easy and gentle as possible. Additional shoulder, side, and neck openings make feeding and treatment easier, especially in neonatal units where access is essential. These design decisions reflect a true understanding of the realities of premature care. With no scratchy labels and flat seams to avoid irritation, everything is done to prioritize your baby’s comfort.
The 6-Piece Starter Set is especially well-suited for first days and nights, including two sleepers, two bodysuits, a hat, and mitts, all designed to fit premature babies weighing 3lbs or 4lbs. The Cardigan & Hat Set, made from soft knit cotton, available in one size (5lbs/44cm) make a thoughtful choice for your baby’s first journey home. With its gentle feel and timeless design, it's the perfect outfit to mark such a meaningful milestone. “We know that bringing your baby home from hospital is a special moment,” says Geraghty. “So we’ve included our lovely soft knit cardigan and hat within the range for the perfect coming home outfit.”
From affordability to functionality, this collection shows that thoughtful design details can make all the difference. Our premature baby clothing doesn’t just fit small bodies, it fits big emotions, creating comfort and calm in those first precious weeks of life.
