Not all people are able to find out the sex of their baby before baby arrives. Sometimes the baby hides! There are other people that do not want to know whether they will have a boy or a girl. The questions pour in though, from people either curious or wanting to buy a gift, about what they are having.

By selecting gender neutral items for your baby you will actually get a lot more use out of them. This is especially true if you are planning on more than one baby. The convertible crib natural is just more sensible than the one with pretty pink bows on it. The frilly stuff is great for things that can be changed quickly and inexpensively, like curtains.

Light browns and other earth tones can be very sweet for a baby nursery. By carefully selecting neutral colors your designer baby bedding you can make sure that it is worth every cent you pay for it. These are usually high quality and can survive baby after baby, but not if they are pink with lace.

It is easy to go overboard on the pink or blue for a new baby. While the shopping can be fun, the end result should never be a room that looks like it is being lit with a blue light. A room that looks like a bottle of allergy medication exploded is also not desirable. The baby’s room should not be nauseating.

The convertible crib is easily accented with other things. You can always tack on some bows, or attach some buttons to make it cuter. The biggest difference is that in the end, these things can be easily changed or eliminated. It is not so easy when the whole crib is gender specific.

Think of the next baby. You spend a small fortune buying car seats, highchairs, cribs, bedding, and other items. The last thing that you want to do is have to buy it all again because you first had a boy, then a girl. The car seat in dark blue with racing stripes does not quite seem adequate. The purple stroller with teddy bears does not quite feel right when you put a little boy in it. By staying neutral you can save a lot of money.

If you have twins, one boy and one girl, this approach makes even more sense. They will likely share many items, and as they become more vocal you do not want to have to listen to fights over which booster seat belongs to whom. Taking the more practical approach will mean you can have a little more peace and quiet later on.
