Fifteen Baby Products to Simplify Your Life
The first time you register for baby gear, you know you’re gonna need some of the basics like a car seat, stroller, onesies, and swaddle blankets. But what about the other thousands of products out there? Most of them you probably won’t need (we’re looking at you PeePee Teepees), but there are some that might make your day-to-day life with baby a little easier and those might be worth the purchase.
We’ve compiled fifteen of our favorites below.
BABYBUM DIAPER CREAM BRUSH ($9.99)
The BabyBum Diaper Cream Brush is made of soft flexible silicone and allows you to apply diaper rash cream to your baby’s bum faster, thicker, and smoother than when using your fingers and you’ll be left with clean hands! It’s a no-brainer, right? There’s a reason this product has over 90% five-star reviews on Amazon!
FRIDABABY MEDIFRIDA ACCU-DOSE PACIFIER ($12.99)
It can be challenging to administer medicine to a baby, and really stressful when giving antibiotics (or another medication) where you really need accurate dosing. The FridaBaby Accu-Dose Pacifier Medicine Dispenser helps solve that problem. It delivers a dose of medicine through a pacifier, sending the medicine to the side of the cheek and bypassing their taste buds to (hopefully) prevent them from spitting it back out. You’ll know your baby got the full dose and there’ll be no mess to clean up!
BABY BLUE GIRAFFE BABY NAIL FILE ($9.99)
Why is clipping a baby’s nails as frightening as childbirth? Okay, it’s not that bad, but it’s close! Don’t mess around with traditional clippers on those tiny delicate fingers – do yourself a favor and buy this baby nail file instead. Made from a genuine Czech glass, the Baby Blue Giraffe nail file very gently trims your newborn’s delicate nails and allows for more control so you’re not accidentally clipping any skin (ending in tears for everyone).
DODDLE & CO. THE POP PACIFIER ($18.99)
The POP is the only pacifier that stays clean by popping back into itself when it’s released. No need for a case! The POP comes in really cute colors like “In Teal Life” and “Make Me Blush” and is recommended for babies 0 – 6 months old.
SNAPPY SPROUT BODYSUIT EXTENDER ($15.00)
Do you have a tall baby who seems to outgrow their bodysuits before they’ve even worn them much? The Snappy Sprout Bodysuit Extender is here to save the day (and you lots of money)! Made of 100% cotton flannel, this brilliant product extends the life of bodysuits by allowing your baby to wear them longer. They are also great for those adorable cloth diaper bubble butts that need some extra booty room in bodysuits. Baby clothing manufacturers use different size snaps on bodysuits, but fear not, the Snappy Sprout comes with 3 different snap sizes to fit most brands.
OXO TOT HANDY STROLLER HOOK ($14.99)
For that extra set of hands all parents need, the OXO Tot Handy Stroller Hook is a stroller essential. Made out of strong aluminum, the hook can be attached to your stroller handles or frame, fitting all stroller makes and models. It is perfect for grocery shopping, clothing shopping, or hitting up the farmer’s market – just hang your shopping bags on the hooks instead of trying to stuff your bags in the basket below or carrying them yourself (insider tip: get two hooks so you can distribute the weight better!). You can also use the hook as a convenient handle for your older child to hold on to as they walk alongside the stroller. We promise once you have one you won’t know how you survived before!
