Preparing For Baby When You Don't Know the Sex

I know we’re part of the small percentage that didn’t find out the sex of not only our first, but now our second either! I’m very superstitious (read: nervous) about knowing too much, or jinxing anything and plus the element of surprise is nice, right? Right?

Anyways, if you’re like us (read: crazy), and also are waiting for the delivery room to find out the sex of your newest arrival, preparing can be tough. On top of getting everything else, clothing can be hard to navigate, especially if you want some fun pieces and not just grey.

With Harry, a LOT was grey during his newborn days, and over the years I have found some wonderful small brands and companies that offer better solutions, whether your little one ends up being a girl or boy. I’m keeping this simple with the absolute necessities (onesies, bibs, hats) because personally that’s all Harry was in for the first 3-4 months. But, I have a weird thing about babies being in “real clothes” — might just be me… definitely just me…

Anyways here you go! Most of these are spring/summer focused, but the brands of course offer other options seasonally. Hope this helps all you soon to be moms/dads out there.

Bibs

Never met a blog post I didn’t like where I didn’t have to mention my favorite bib of all time and the only bibs Harry wears. Wish I knew about these amazing bibs when Harry was born, we didn’t discover until around his first birthday! Definitely a must have, and come in amazing (gender neutral!) colors.

Hats
