Contextual information

A layette is a coordinated collection of clothes for a newborn, though the term is also used to refer to basic supplies for an infant. A basic layette set is typically made up of four items: a sleepsuit, diaper cover, bodysuit, and hat.
However, it can also include other things like socks, booties, and hair accessories.
