I love when some of my favorite brands come out with new items – and always love experiencing new brands. Here are some of my current favorites.
Boppy Blankie
Looking for some new gifts for little ones and their parents? The Baby Collection by Boppy (yes, the same Boppy which makes the amazing seats!) is the perfect combination of comfort and style that brings all the snuggliness of the award-winning Boppy® Pillow to a fresh and fun multi-piece collection. The extensive toy collection includes rattles, bean bag plushies, musical toys and finger puppets that are feature-rich for baby’s developmental stages. The soft-dot textured fabric and friendly, colorful faces will make it hard for babies to resist playing and bonding with them. The plush blankets are made of two-ply super soft fabric, perfect for cuddling and bonding with babies. Whether used in the nursery or out and about, these blankets will keep babies cozy and warm. The collection is available at retailers nationwide including Babies”R”Us, BuyBuyBABY and kohls.com.
Siliskin
My 2 & 1/2year old has long graduated to regular drinking cups, but I was definitely hesitant to handing her our normal glasses for fear they would break. Luckily, the Siliskin glass is a 6 oz glass cup encased in a shock absorbing silicone protective sleeve (a Siliskin) so even if it gets dropped, we are safe! Kids can now drink out of a "big kid" glass cup just like mom and dad. The Siliskin sleeve also makes the glass cup easy to hold and grip. 2-pack $12.95; silikids.com
Lulyboo
This is definitely one of those items you don't realize you need until you have it. The Lulyboo Baby Lounge Lights + Music Travel Bed combines elements of a crib, bassinet, playpen and changing station into one portable, compact carrier. This travel bed includes a removable, netted canopy for breathability and a three-in-one soother that uses music, lights and vibrations at various volumes and settings to help baby rest. The fold-and-go design makes it easy to transform the bed into a portable, lightweight backpack. Any new parent would love this one. $79.99; lulyboo.com
Butt Paste
Got to love a good name! Boudreauxs Butt Paste offers soothing relief for diaper rashes. Formulated by a pharmacist and father with direction from a pediatrician, it spreads on easily and cleans off quickly, with a pleasant scent you won’t smell on your baby from a mile away. The Butt Paste has 16% zinc oxide and Peruvian balsam that act as a protective coating on your baby's sensitive skin. It's available in a variety of sizes and comes in Original, Maximum Strength and All Natural, in stores nationwide and online. Boudreaxs Butt Paste
