One of the main reasons I started this blog was to test out new items and share what was worth spending your money on and what to avoid. Today I am excited to share some really great items I think you’ll love for your little one. Later this week I’ll be sharing some items I’ve tried out for new mamas.
aden + anais Snuggle Knit Collection
aden + anais is obviously a well-known baby brand and for good reason. Their products are well-made so they have held up for us through three babies. Their NEW snuggle knit collection is adorable. Not only that, but “snuggle knit” is the perfect name for it because every piece is so soft. The gift set comes with a knotted gown, a knotted hat and a little bandana bib. (You can also buy each piece separately.) We have the rosette print but they also come in a navy stripe and a heather gray. The lovey is our favorite! It comes in the same three color options and is also super soft, making it the perfect thing for snuggles.
Baby Banana Lil’ Squish Jellyfish Sensory Rattle + Teething Toy
This cute little jellyfish teether is made of silicone so it is soft and gentle on baby’s gums. Its tentacles make it easy for them to grip on to and is the perfect size for tiny hands and little mouths, which is great for babies who start teething early (all of mine have started around 4 months!). It’s great for teething as well as promoting hand/eye coordination.
GUND Tinkle Crinkle Activity Ball and Tinkle Crinkle Caterpillar
My babies have always been big fans of any baby toys that make a crinkle sound. Blaire and Ben LOVE playing with them both, we’ll say it’s just to entertain Sloane… even if that’s not true… it’s because they WANT to play with it. And Sloane thinks they’re so funny!
Baby Balm and Baby Lotion from Pipette
All three of my kids have had sensitive skin from the beginning and they get it from their mama. I actually heard about Pipette in Good Housekeeping (page 48) The baby lotion and baby balm are both really great options for baby’s sensitive skin. The lotion is great for everyday use because it’s lightweight. The balm is good for chapped lips, elbows and knees.
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Maximum Strength Tub
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Maximum Strength is perfect for stubborn diaper rash. It’s the perfect baby shower gift! It visibly improves rash in as little as three hours. It is free from dyes, preservatives, parabens and talc so it is gentle on your baby’s skin.
Have you tried any of these products?
