Choosing Gender-Neutral Prints for Your Baby

When it comes to the relatively new trend of gender-reveal parties, blue means it’s a boy and pink means a girl is on the way. However, more and more parents are embracing gender-neutral prints for their baby’s clothes, accessories, and nursery.

If you’re a parent-to-be and don’t yet know the sex of your baby, or if you wish to keep a gender-neutral theme, you’re in luck. There are so many cool and classy prints and designs available for every facet of your baby’s life that come in colors beyond just pink and blue. Below are three print styles you are sure to adore and must-have baby items to accompany each.

Animal Prints

Whether the jungle is your jam or playful pups—and every creature in-between—animal-themed clothing, bedding, blankets, and more are timeless choices. A classic receiving blanket, for example, would look adorable in a giraffe or bunny print.

In addition to creative prints, nice plush baby blankets that you can take to the park, beach, or just lay on your floor at home are must-haves. Select a blanket made of quality materials, such as products created from multiple layers of 100% cotton muslin, and make sure they’re machine washable so they stay soft wash after wash.


Nature Prints

There’s nothing more natural than baby drool and spit up. With this in mind, you’ll want to make sure you have plenty of bibs on hand for your baby. A three-pack of burp cloths at the minimum is a good place to start—seek out a set with nature-inspired designs like wispy ferns and luscious trees. Hint: A pack of bibs makes a great gift for parents who need to get the basics covered before the baby arrives or even shortly after.

Quality burp cloths are designed to keep your baby clean, so look for a generously-sized bib made with absorbent fabric. Kidney-shaped bibs that will drape over your baby’s shoulders and snap at the back are bound to catch even the stealthiest dribbles. When nature calls in this regard, why not add a little flair with forest and flower prints? 


Nighttime Prints

Nothing says it’s time to go to sleep like dreamy pajamas, crib sheets, and sleeping bags. If only it were that easy. But you might as well send the bedtime message into the universe with patterns that show stars and other nighttime reveries such as moons and rockets. A peaceful, restful nighttime experience is always a relief.

In addition to wearing pajamas, your baby might find comfort in a sleeping bag designed specifically for them. Your baby will feel cozy throughout the night and look cute in a starry-night inspired print. Wearable sleeping bags should incorporate a breathable fabric and be able to open and close from the bottom so that you can change your baby’s diaper with ease during the night if need be.

As you can see, when it comes to choosing gender-neutral patterns and themes, the possibilities are endless because many designs naturally lend themselves to neutrality. Themes should be fun while taking into consideration the functionality, versatility, and safety of the products purchased. Beyond the prints, you want to find super-soft and breathable materials, such as quality cotton muslin, for baby blankets, clothing, swaddles, and anything else that touches your baby’s skin.
