Snap closures on baby stuff are great and easy to use. But! They can fall off. You can hand-sew on replacement snaps but what works better is a Dritz snap replacer.
This is the perfect baby gift. I guarantee you don't have one, yet it allows you to replace all those darned snaps that vanish in the wash. If you've never seen one, every fabric store sells them. They're a giant, specialty pair of pliers. Buy an assortment of snaps. The snap replacer can use several sizes.
You'll need strong hands to work the snap replacer, but it will keep all kinds of baby clothes in service when you replace the snaps. As long as there's some usable fabric -- or sew on a patch! -- you can replace the snap.
The snap replacer does both sides of the snap separately so you can replace the missing side.
