Something for a baby, a little poem? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

layette

'something for a baby' is the definition.
(a layette is a set of clothing for a baby)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for layette that I've seen before include "Set of clothes for new baby" , "First clothes" , "Complete set of clothing for a baby" , "baby needs this" , "Complete set of baby clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
