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!

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

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.

Stella Jane & Co. leopard baby swaddle set

Stella & Jane baby swaddle set

Soft and sweet, this 3-piece set is a fab shower gift or treat for your brand new little. I mean, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to have too many head adornments, I say.

Colugo carrier

Colugo The Baby Carrier

With their integrated lumbar support, UPF 50+ sunshade and uber convenient fanny pack-esque feature, Colugo carriers are not messing around. They expertly blend style and function with every print and color, but this one is definitely my favorite.

Vans toddler Old Skool V in leopard print

Vans toddler Old Skool leopard

Remember when people used to bronze a baby’s first pair of shoes? Now that Millennials and Gen Z trendsetters are the parents, I imagine mantles of teeny bronzed Vans in the future.

$24.95

BirdRock Baby leather leopard baby moccasins

Birdrock Baby leopard moccasins

Easy to slip on and off when you want to, but somehow miraculously able to stay put when they’re kicking, crawling and climbing, leather moccasins are the ideal first shoes. This style from Birdrock baby is made from soft sueded leather so they form to chunky baby feet to keep them comfy as they take their first steps. Even better, for each product sold, Birdrock Baby donates food for a day to a child in need.
