Want to know what’s trending for us parents so far this year? If, like me, you feel like you’re flying by the seat of your pants on this journey of parenthood, this one’s for you. I’ve scoured my sources and found everything you need to know about parenting in 2024.
All the gear, new ideas
One trend that’s been gaining traction is eco-friendly and sustainable baby products. With more parents becoming conscious of their environmental footprint, there’s been a surge in demand for eco-friendly products. You’ll see products made from organic, non-toxic materials that are gentle on both baby and the planet. From organic cotton onesies to bamboo feeding utensils, eco-friendly baby gear is all the rage this year.
Convenience from tech
In 2024, we’re seeing a rise in smart baby gear designed to make parenting easier and more convenient. Think smart bedding and accessories that track your baby’s sleep patterns and alert you when they need attention, or high-tech baby monitors with built-in cameras and temperature sensors for peace of mind while your little one sleeps.
As a twenty first century Mum, I can vouch for the video monitors as a way to keep my mind at ease!
Fashion
This year, we’re seeing a return to classic, timeless styles with a modern twist. Think vintage-inspired rompers and dresses in soft, muted colours, paired with modern accessories like chunky knit bonnets and leather moccasins. Let’s not forget about the gender-neutral trend that’s been gaining momentum in recent years – expect to see more unisex clothing options in a variety of colours and prints that are perfect for any baby, regardless of gender.
Parenting Practices
When it comes to parenting practices, one trend that’s been gaining popularity is attachment parenting. This parenting philosophy emphasizes building a strong emotional bond with your baby through practices like babywearing, co-sleeping, and responsive feeding. It’s all about meeting your baby’s needs with love and compassion, and many parents are finding it to be a fulfilling and rewarding approach to parenting in 2024.
Conscious Parenting
Another parenting trend that’s been making waves is conscious parenting. This approach encourages parents to be mindful and intentional in their interactions with their children, focusing on fostering empathy, emotional intelligence, and self-awareness from a young age. It’s about being present and engaged with your child, and creating a nurturing environment where they can thrive and grow into compassionate, resilient individuals.

What parenting trend is likely to increase in the future?
Pinterest predicts that in 2024, parents will focus on celebrating inchstones, which they describe as “tiny triumphs (that) will make the heart grow fonder as parents sprinkle party vibes on their kids’ not-so-grand moments.” It lists upticks in searches for “My first tooth party” and “baby naming ceremonies”.
What are the negatives of attachment parenting?
The on-demand breastfeeding and constant physical closeness emphasized in this approach may limit a mother’s ability to establish her own healthy sleep patterns, return to work, or even maintain the same level of intimacy with her partner (at least for some time).
