The Modern Gender-Neutral Baby Registry
The Modern Gender-Neutral Baby Registry

Whether you’re keeping baby’s gender a surprise (aka going “team green”), prefer a more minimalist approach or want to avoid the traditional baby pink and blue, a gender-neutral registry can be a great choice for any expecting parents. It’s also a great decision if you plan on having more kids, since you can save gender-neutral clothing and gear for younger siblings. 

While we think anyone can enjoy all of the colors of the rainbow, if you’re sticking to pieces that’ll work for a baby boy or girl, that doesn’t mean you’re limited to the usual yellow, gray or beige. 

A few examples of trendier colors (beyond those three go-tos) that work as neutrals include shades of: 

  • Sage

  • Oat

  • Slate blue

  • Clay

  • Black

  • Charcoal 

  • Ivory, Cream, White

  • Camel

  • Taupe

This guide is designed to help you build your registry with products that are perfectly suited to any baby. From sleek gear to neutral-toned nursery picks, we've curated useful baby items in each registry category. 

Nursery + Decor

These pieces of nursery furniture would make wonderful additions to every baby’s nursery, regardless of the color palette.

On-the-Go + Gear

Whether you’re heading out to your baby’s doctor’s appointments, running errands or going to enjoy some fresh air at the park, these on-the-go products are designed to work for every family.

Feeding 

Whether it’s breast or bottle-feeding or they’re taking their first bites of food, these neutral feeding essentials can make mealtimes smoother. 

Diapering Supplies

Most diapering supplies are pretty gender-neutral by design. We like these gender-neutral diaper bags that both parents can carry, but since you’re the one using it, get whatever style and color represents your own style.

Clothing & Accessories

This is the category that people tend to really lean into traditional colors and patterns for baby boys and baby girls. While any color looks great on whoever wears it, these picks don’t scream one gender or another. 

Play

Last but not least, we have the fun category. These toys are sure to encourage every baby’s curiosity and development.
