The 'Bound 2' rapper - who is married to Kim Kardashian West - is booking in dates for a 2015 tour and has already made a string of demands to ensure 17-month-old North is comfortable with life on the road.
His requests include the Princess Rose designer daybed, a pink blanket made from Mulberry silk, a Samsung touchscreen TV loaded with the little girl's favourite shows and has advised "no expense be spared" when it comes to her meals.
A source told Closer magazine: "North will have her own chef, who will prepare bespoke baby meals, including butternut squash risotto, minty lamb koftas and chicken and apple balls.
"Her organic milk will be served in a Tiffany sterling silver child's cup with a Tiffany monkey straw and Kanye's requested platters of organic berries - no expense will be spared."
It was recently revealed that North already has her own stylist, 200 items of unworn designer clothes in her wardrobe, $50,000 diamond earrings, an organic chef and several expensive strollers located around the world.
The insider said: "All of North's stuff is always waiting at the location they're travelling to.
"They use a local caterer to bring in food for North while she is in Paris. Kim likes Nori's food to be all organic."

The 40-year-old admitted to being a little bit annoying as she gave a self-deprecating acceptance speech during the British Fashion Awards last night (01.12.14).
The former Spice Girl won the coveted Best Brand trophy for her eponymous label at the stylish bash in London but took the time to thank her parents Jacqueline and Anthony Adams.
Speaking at the London Coliseum, Victoria quipped: "My parents, you love me unconditionally - and I know I am a pain in the bottom."
The singer-turned-designer also showed her appreciation for her husband David Beckham as she thanked him and their four children - Brooklyn, 15, Romeo, 12, Cruz, nine, and three-year-old Harper - for their "support".
She said: "We've come a long way since that Spice Girls dressing room. David, you inspire me every day. You support me. You make this possible. I adore you and my children."
The gushing star also praised her hard-working staff.
Victoria added: "I am so so proud to be British and incredibly proud to have built my brand in the UK. I want to thank my team. I love you all so much and this is for all of you."
She later posted a photo of herself on Twitter, enjoying a party in the toilets with several friends, complete with the caption: "Loved our after party!!! x (sic)"

Olly Murs pays himself a plumber's wage.
The 'Wrapped Up' singer is worth an estimated £5 million but pays himself the same salary as his pals after being scared by bankrupt pop stars on the reality television show 'The Big Reunion'.
He explained: "I've given myself a salary recently, because I think it's important. For the first two years I was like, 'Yeah I'll buy that and this. Mum, what do you want? I'll get it for you.'
"But then you watch shows like 'The Big Reunion' and it opens your eyes to realise that this can all go so quickly, and you've got to be wise with your money."
The 30-year-old star elaborated by saying he's thrilled with his life at the moment, so is terrified of losing his treasured possessions and friends.
He said: "My worst fear is losing everything. I've bought my own house, I've got a lovely car, I've got brilliant friends and family. If I lost all that it would be devastating and down to my stupidity."
Olly wants to ensure he stays down to earth and remains close to his friends who he met before finding fame, so hopes his salary will stop him from flashing his cash.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I've got mates in different jobs to me, and they're not on the same amount of money as me. So I don't want to be like a big time Charlie. I've never been that kind of person, I always like us all to be on an equal playing field."

Bette Midler's only birthday wish is for Ariana Grande to forgive her.
The singer-and-actress turned 69 yesterday (01.12.14) and took to Twitter to apologise to the 21-year-old star once again after she branded the brunette beauty's music videos "silly beyond belief" and said she had a "silly high voice" - but now Bette has pleaded with Ariana to let her direct her next video.
She tweeted: "Yes, it's my birthday! And my birthday wish is that @ArianaGrande forgives me soon and let's me direct her next video... (sic)"
Ariana is yet to respond to Bette's request which could be because she is busy preparing for her performance at the Victoria's Secret Angels show at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London tonight (02.12.14).
While the singer was reported to have been shocked and upset by Bette's remarks recently, she took to Twitter to respond in person and insisted she will "always" be a fan of the star.
She wrote: "Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement!
"Not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back!!! always a fan no matter what my love. (sic)"
During Bette's rant about Ariana, she also hit out at other young female acts who make a "wh**e" out of themselves nowadays by dressing in scantily-clad attire for their music videos.
She said: "It's terrible! It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, slithering around on a couch, looking so ridiculous. I mean, it's silly beyond belief and I don't know who's telling her to do it. I wish they'd stop. But it's not my business, I'm not her mother. Or her manager.
"Maybe they tell them that's what you've got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold.
"Trust your talent. You don't have to make a wh**e out of yourself to get ahead. You really don't.
"I mean, don't ask me. It's beyond me. I'm too old.
"I don't know what the end game is going to be. I don't know where you go from all that sex in your twenties. I don't know how you sustain it."

Paris Hilton has been hit with death threats from a man who believes she is Jewish.
The hotel heiress - who was raised a Roman Catholic - and her father Rick Hilton have both been targeted by a guy on Instagram and Facebook who has posted several abusive and anti-Semitic messages to the pair.
According to TMZ, one of the posts he allegedly wrote read: "I know ur Jew family gives nothing," and another stated: "KILL JEWS FOR FUN (sic)"
A post to Rick said: "one month and she's dead, she's never coming home. (sic)"
Another message to Rick read: "I'll beat u and that bitch to unconscious.(sic)"
The guy is also alleged to have threatened to sexually assault the 33-year-old star.
The Los Angeles Police Department has obtained a warrant to try to track down the man on the social media sites and believe they know who he is.
It's not the first time Paris has been hit with death threats as in May 2007 she was sentenced to a 45-day jail term and before the stretch was due to start in June that year she was said to be inundated with threats from inmates.
An insider said at the time: "These maniacs have been writing, 'We're going to get you,' and, 'I'm going to kill you.' It's horrifying.
"One person wrote that she's going to steal Paris' shoes when she gets to jail--and if Paris argues, she'll be beaten to a pulp."
Paris said: "I'm very scared right now."

Christian Bale loves "losers".
The 'American Hustle' actor - who has a nine-year-old daughter and three-month-old son with wife Sibi Blazic - prefers hanging out with people who have "failed miserably" than those who are successful because they are "much more fun".
Asked what his friends are like, he said: "One thing I've heard consistently said to me throughout my life is, 'You know what I've noticed about you, Christian? You hate hanging out with winners. You love losers. The more of a loser, the more you love 'em.'
"I hate the 'loser' title, but I do kind of realise there's something to it. The more successful you get, the more you have to fit into a certain kind of a successful mould.
"Successful people plan their days, and they waste no time whatsoever. It's all about quality, quality all day long. Losers waste their time. People who've failed miserably in their lives are much more fun."
The 40-year-old actor adores his former model wife - who he married in 2000 - but claimed he is "terrified" of her.
He said: "My wife was a stunt driver--she was chasing me through the city in 'Batman'. She was driving one of the cop cars. She can do 180s and stunts and all that. She terrifies me. My wife terrifies me."
And Christian admitted his spouse particularly loved his role in 'American Hustle' - because he had to gain weight.
He told WSJ magazine: "You know, my wife kind of liked Irv in 'American Hustle', because she looked really skinny standing next to me. That's what she said. She loved it. She was like, 'Keep getting bigger. I look fantastic and skinny.' "

Kerry Katona is looking forward to getting drunk at Christmas.
The 34-year-old Atomic Kitten star was pregnant with her fifth child, Dylan-Jorge Rose, for the festive season last year, and admitted it was frustrating not being able to have an alcoholic drink with her husband, George Kay.
She said: "I can't wait. It was winding me up so much last year seeing George and my mum get drunk that I went to bed and left them downstairs.
"I'll be dancing until the early hours and I'll make them go to bed first!"
The 'Whole Again' singer - who has four other children, Molly, 12, Lilly-Sue, 11, Heidi, seven, and Maxwell, six - revealed the couple usually start drinking on Christmas Eve and after a nap, have an early-morning champagne breakfast before her kids wake up.
She explained: "We were up so late last Christmas Eve, we were still wrapping presents at 1am! We woke up and felt like we'd only just gone to bed but we had a blast.
"Santa was drinking vodka while doing all the wrapping! The next day, we get up, get the Christmas music on, crack open the champagne and all the kids open their presents."
Talking about how her Christmas Day will pan out, Kerry - who will embark on a tour with her Atomic Kitten bandmates Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton in 2015 - said she doesn't have her traditional lunch until later in the day after enjoying a boozy breakfast cooked up by her husband, who she married in September.
Speaking to OK! magazine, she added: "We usually get up before the kids, then have champagne, and George makes a fry-up. Then we have dinner about 4pm."
