Leopard is the new black: Here are 11 baby products you need ASAP

Gigi Hadid may be making a splash with her leopard print Baby Bjorn carrier, but I like to think I started the trend 15 years ago. I was about to become a mom for the first time and one of the three things on my list of must-haves was a leopard print ring sling (because, #priorites).

As far as I’m concerned, in drips and drops, the Peggy Bundy-esque print is a highly wearable neutral. (Maybe not in the form of a spandex bodysuit, but hey, you do you.) It’s personally a go-to for statement coats, bags, scarves and even sunglasses. And as someone who generally prefers to look like the cross between a ninja and a stagehand, it’s an accessible and stylish way to walk on the wild side (pun intended) without stepping too far outside my comfort zone.

When you become a mom, it turns out there are so many new opportunities to slip a little leopard print into your everyday.

Along with perennial favorite Baby Björn’s new leopard line (which is guaranteed to sell out fast, so get those in your cart ASAP!) I’ve hunted down some of the coolest leopard print baby and mama products that are on the market right now. Check them out below!

Baby Björn baby carrier mini

Spotted (get it??) on Gigi Hadid back in November before it was available for purchase, we’ve been counting down the days until we could add to cart. The mini style is perfect for the newborn stage with an easy on/off design.

Posh Peanut lana leopard ruffled sleep bag

IMO, teal is the perfect contrast color to leopard. So while this sleep bag spoke to me based on its outside, it’s truly the lining that makes it steal my heart. It’s constructed from butter soft viscose from bamboo which is not only gentle against delicate baby skin, but it also provides heat regulation keeping them warm at night without overheating.
