Building a gender-neutral nursery is about more than just color palettes (although that’s obviously an important factor). The neutral theme also embraces natural elements and whimsical touches that create a subtle sophistication.
While dreamy design is at the heart of nursery planning, you still need baby gear that lives up to the hype. So, we scoured the internet for gender-neutral baby gear that can deliver on both fashion and function.
Here’s a look at our favorites.
Munchkin Infant Swing
Featuring Bluetooth connectivity, an easy-to-use touch display, and a neutral white and gray color scheme, the Munchkin Infant Swing allows you to comfort baby with a gentle rock and music of choice. The innovative swing blends nicely with any motif, making it a perfectly neutral addition to our list.
The Saatva Crib Mattress
Made for baby’s comfort and mom and dad’s peace of mind, Saatva's dual-sided baby mattress is focused on safety and sleep needs. The double-firm side is built for infants while the firm side is for toddlers. Simply flip it over as your baby grows and sleep needs change. Eco-friendly, organic, and non-toxic.
Magnetic Me Lovey

from
Magnetic Me
Meet baby’s first bestie. From the makers of Magnetic Me, an innovative brand that makes magnetic-fasten clothing, the Magnetic Lovey makes our list as the sweetest and cutest lovey for the gender-neutral nursery. And at just $20, it’s a more economical pick than some of the fancier brands. While there are traditional pink and blue themes to choose from, the brand created several neutral choices as well, including lovely lambs, sweet elephants, and cuddly koalas, each with a silky soft blankie attached.
Slumberkins Snuggler and Board Book
$48
from
Slumberkins
This unique addition made our list with its thoughtful ingenuity that steers clear of boy and girl tropes. Slumberkins is a leading children’s brand that is on a mission to promote early emotional learning. The brand created age-appropriate books with accompanying cuddly creatures — made of the softest fabric! — to help parents teach important emotional and social skills like stress management, gratitude, and conflict resolution.
Copper Pearl Crib Sheets
$40
from
Copper and Pearl
Crib sheets can truly elevate a nursery from “cute” to “designed.” But finding sheets with prints that aren’t gender-focused is harder than it probably should be. Copper Pearl makes the cut with a slew of dreamy neutrals that put the final touches on any thoughtful design. The fern print is our fave, but the brand has an excellent selection, with dozens of options ranging from geometric patterns to cactuses, animals, and more.
Loulou Lollipop Muslin Quilt
$65
from
LouLou Lollipop
For softness that’s breathable and cozy, muslin is the way to go. These muslin quilts from Loulou Lollipop capture our hearts with over 30 gender-neutral watercolor prints. The large reversible blanket features four layers of bamboo and cotton muslin fabric that gets softer with each use.
