15 Innovative Baby Products You Didn't Know You Needed
Woombie Air Swaddle Blanket(01 of15)
Open Image Modal
This isn't your average muslin swaddle. Woombie created a swaddle that is made from a mesh like material for extra ventilation. The material has a little stretch to it, which makes swaddling babies easier and allows for a more snug swaddle. The tiny holes in the fabric help it to "breathe" and prevent overheating. www.woombie.com
LatchPal(02 of15)
Open Image Modal
This handy little gadget holds your shirt up for you while you breastfeed. Has any other breastfeeding mom attempted to hold your shirt up with your chin? Or maybe even tucked into your bra strap? Worry, no more! The LatchPal keeps your shirt up so your little one can nurse. www.latchpal.com
SweatyBaby Bodysuit(03 of15)
Open Image Modal
These onesies were designed by a mother who was tired of how sweaty and hot her babies would get in the summer. I feel her pain. Both my kids are infernos. These bodysuits are made from a bamboo/cotton blend and contains wicking to absorb moisture. http://sweatybaby.com/
Baby Elephant Ears Bib(04 of15)
Open Image Modal
This is another invention clearly thought up by a mom. The top of this bib has a flap that tucks into the top of your baby's shirt to avoid the inevitable drooling/food spillage that happens and somehow makes it behind the bib. This bib is wonderful. http://babyelephantears.com/
PouchBuddy(05 of15)
Open Image Modal
Behold, the answer to messy pouch problems! Ok, maybe not all the mess. These handy things screw on to the top of food pouches for easy eating for clumsy baby hands. These make it so easy to hold the pouch without squeezing it everywhere and the top mimics a sippy cup. https://www.chubchubbaby.com
Doodle Pants(06 of15)
Open Image Modal
I can't tell you how much I LOVE these pants! Any veteran mom knows that some leggings are made way too tight around the diaper area. The double seam in the back of these leggings are the solution. The material is a thin sweater knit that is very stretchy. The legs are long enough to come down around baby's heels, which I love. http://www.doodlepants.com/
Little Ashkim Turkish Towel(07 of15)
Open Image Modal
Shouldn't your baby have a luxury bath towel? Right. I thought that might be excessive, too. Until... I tried this thing. This is the softest towel I have ever felt. I need one for myself ASAP. https://littleashkim.com/
Zipadee Zip(08 of15)
Open Image Modal
When I first saw this, I thought It looked just like a flying squirrel! This sleeper is designed to help your mini stay covered, loosely, through the night. It's a perfect transition from the swaddle. https://www.sleepingbaby.com/
Complete Tooth Fairy Kit(09 of15)
Open Image Modal
What more could you need when they start losing teeth? This kit comes with everything you need to bring the tooth fairy magic to life. http://www.babytoothalbum.com/
Swanling Slumber Sleeper(10 of15)
Open Image Modal
This thing is actually amazing. It's an all in one mattress protector, fitted sheet, top sheet and sleep sack. They are available in crib size and twin size. In early months it prevents babies from getting stuck on their stomachs. Their website has great videos and diagrams that show how it works. http://www.swanling.com/
Bambu Eco Friendly Flatwear(11 of15)
Open Image Modal
These eco friendly, compostable, bamboo utensils are perfect. Some of them even have a hole to put them on a leash and connect them to a bib. http://www.bambuhome.com/
Toofeeze Teether(12 of15)
Open Image Modal
Having something cold to teethe on is always ideal, but making sure I have a teether in the fridge is not usually something I remember to do. This silicone teether has a stainless steel portion that is hard and stays cool which feels amazing on baby's gums. The silicone part is a handle that is easy to grip for little hands. http://www.toofeze.com/
Pello Floor Pillow(13 of15)
Open Image Modal
You need no other baby pillow. I am absolutely smitten with this thing. It has everything you need for every infant age. As an newborn, the baby can be laid on this pillow for a cozy nap. Once baby is sitting, this is perfect for learning to balance and being totally surrounded by a barrier. Now that my Charlie is pulling up and climbing, she uses this to help her stand. I prefer this to the semi-circle pillows ten to one. www.mypello.com
Pacific Baby Feeder Bowls(14 of15)
Open Image Modal
These natural bamboo, ergonomic, biodegradable feeding dishes are the best. They come in perfect sizes for feeding baby their first foods and they double as snack bowls for the older kids. www.pacificbabyworld.com
Pully Palz(15 of15)
Open Image Modal
Pully Palz are the perfect thing to hold on to a pacifier. They attach to car seat, crib and more and help to encourage baby's motor skills while keeping their pacifier in reach. How often do we wish the pacifier wouldn't fall? Here's the answer! http://pullypalz.com/
