Sweet Essentials for Baby Girls

by Katie Wallace | Updated: April 15, 2017

Bringing home a baby girl is such a special experience. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I couldn’t wait to shop for all the girly things β€” ruffled onesies, sparkly headbands, and tiny baby shoes. Now that I’m a mom to two girls and one boy, I’ve had the chance to discover what’s cute and practical. If you’re preparing for a baby shower, birthday, or just want to spoil your little princess, here are some of my favorite baby girl finds.

Baby Barefoot Sandals

There’s something so precious about baby feet. Add a handmade touch with these adorable flower barefoot sandals. You only need a few simple supplies such as ribbon, elastic, and cute embellishments to make your own pair. These sandals are soft, stretchy, and such a fun way to dress up little toes. Learn how to make these baby barefoot sandals here!

Baby barefoot sandals are also perfect for infant photo shoots and can be customized in any color to match a favorite outfit. Whether you’re crafting them for your own baby or giving them as a gift, this easy DIY adds a sweet detail to your little one’s wardrobe.

A Diaper Bag That’s Chic and Functional

A baby girl comes with plenty of gear, and a good diaper bag is a must-have. I used the Bumble Collection “Amber” Tote in Modern Floral and absolutely loved it. This bag has all the features I needed; roomy compartments, easy-to-clean material, and a design that feels stylish without sacrificing function.

Why I love this bag:

  • Spacious interior with lots of handy pockets
  • Two bottle pockets, both inside and outside
  • Magnetic closures and a zippered main compartment
  • Soil-proof changing pad included
  • Moisture-resistant fabric and reinforced shoulder strap
  • The structure keeps its shape and holds everything securely

Whether I was packing it for a quick errand or a full day out, this bag held everything without feeling bulky. It’s still one of the cutest and most functional diaper bags I’ve used.

A Gentle Solution for Baby Hair Accessories

If your baby girl has soft or wispy hair, headbands aren’t your only option. I discovered Girlie Glue, and it was a game changer. It’s made from Agave nectar and completely safe for baby skin. With just a small dab, you can gently stick a bow or flower to your baby’s hair, with no clips or tugging.

It’s perfect for newborn photos or everyday outfits, and it washes out easily with water. Even as my daughter’s hair grew, we continued using Girlie Glue for quick and easy hair flair.

These baby girl essentials have been well-loved in our home, and they’ve also made thoughtful gifts for new moms. If you’re preparing to welcome a new baby, take it one step at a time and enjoy the process. Creating space, gathering sweet little items, and making memories along the way is part of the joy of welcoming a new life.

πŸ’‘ Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids! 🧳 πŸ’‘ Essential tips for traveling with our 4 kids!

🧳 Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

πŸ₯ͺ Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafΓ©s become our favorite spots. 

🏞️ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

πŸ“± Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

πŸ”¦ Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations. 

➑️ Which of these travel tips would help your family the most?
