What is a baby sprinkle?

Now that we’ve shared the best baby sprinkle ideas, here’s a quick explanation of what a baby sprinkle party is so your guests know what to expect.

A baby sprinkle is a smaller and more casual version of a baby shower, typically organized for parents expecting their second or subsequent child, especially if the baby is the same gender as a previous baby.

Unlike a baby shower, where extensive gifts and items for the nursery are common, a baby sprinkle may focus more on essentials, and guests may bring smaller, thoughtful gifts or items that they specifically need for the new baby.
