This is a fun new mommy gift! Babies love to grab and chew everything in sight, so many moms take a hiatus from wearing jewelry while they have a baby. Teething Bling® from Smart Mom Jewelry is the original teething jewelry with pendants and bangles that look great and safe for curious babies to handle and chew. They’re made of FDA approved materials that teethers are made of, all non-toxic, phthalate, BPA, PVC, latex and lead free. All pendants come with a breakaway clasp as an added safety measure.
pediped® Originals® $32 and up
Pedipeds are a great first shoe for infants and they remain the best choice as children begin walking on their own. The soles were specially designed to closely mimic barefoot walking; They are soft and flexible and allow children to grip the floor when taking those early steps and developing their stride. Unlike those crazy chunky heavy flat soles that cause babies to walk like Frankenstein J The pediped® Originals® collection is available in sizes 0-24 months and you can find their super cute designs in tons of stores or online.
Aden & Anais Swaddle 4-pack $49.99
Mothers have swaddled babies forever. It’s a gentle and effective way to soothe and calm baby. Studies have shown that swaddled babies sleep more peacefully by preventing spontaneous movements (called reflex motion) which continually wake them through the night; swaddled infants stay in REM sleep. Which means Mom and Dad get more sleep, too! The muslin material lets air circulate, so overheating isn’t as much of a concern. Aden & Anais have great prints and organic options as well. Love!
Joovy Room Play Yard $269.99
The Joovy Play Yard is designed to be a full-featured nursery center- it’s a bassinet, changing station and playard all in one. It’s super convenient and multi-purpose to have at Grandma’s, on a trip or in a room in your home. The nylon fabric is super strong, durable and stain resistant. It’s got a full-size bassinet that holds an infant up to 15 pounds and the removable changing table supports a baby up to 25 pounds. The parent organizer is the biggest available on a playard with nine compartments that hold up to 9 lbs. of nursery items (again, perfect on at a vacation home where you’ll have all your diapering items, maybe toys and clothing.) Room also has some bells and whistles: a built-in MP3 (iPod) jack for you to play a personal playlist or the integrated music with sleep mode as well as a built-in nightlight positioned to work inside the bassinet!
Baby Cargo Ultra lightweight Stroller 300 Series $179
Unfortunately we ran out of time before I could feature the brand new Baby Cargo stroller line! Baby Cargo is made for parents on the go- it’s made for travel around neighborhood or hoping on a plane or train and heading out of town! It weighs under 16 pounds and has a great shoulder strap for carrying it. Baby Cargo strollers’ design was inspired by fashion and interior design. Someone said the colors and mod design makes them think of West Elm. It’s super easy to fold and has great storage pockets. You can come kick the tires at Please Touch on 1/21- they’ll be there showcasing their line to Philly parents!
