Baby Must-Haves

Why It’s a PediaPick:

I’m a fan of this 2-pack swaddle blanket set because the blankets are made from organic cotton, making them soft, lightweight, and cozy for your baby. The 47″ x 47″ size is perfect for swaddling, tummy time, and doubling as a stroller cover. The pretty colors and cute prints make these blankets as charming as they are practical.

Why It’s a PediaPick:

Activity gyms are great for keeping babies entertained, especially during tummy time and when learning to roll over. I like this activity gym because it has a mirror babies can stare into during tummy time and toys to look at while they’re on their backs. There’s even a piano they can kick with their feet. Hooray for cause-and-effect fun!

Why It’s a PediaPick:

This swing is the Rolls Royce of baby swings and a frequent flyer on baby registries. I like it because it’s trusted by NICUs across the country and it mimics motions inspired by real parents. With 5 motion settings & Bluetooth connectivity, you can control it from your phone & stream your own music. Fancy, right?

These baby blankets are the best! They’re soft & cuddly and the plush material is calming for babies. My son & daughter had several of them growing up. I also love the “pair and a spare” concept. You get 3 blankets, so if you lose one and your baby goes into meltdown mode, you can just whip another one out. #Superparent!

This cute-as-can-be gift set comes with a bunny rattle, a second rattle with rings, and a push car toy. I love that each handmade item is crafted from premium organic wood and is designed to grow with your baby—from shaking the rattles as an infant to pushing the car as they get older.

Sophie the Giraffe is one of the most popular teething toys on the market. This set comes with the original Sophie the Giraffe and a teething ring. My kids loved chewing Sophie’s legs to soothe their gums, and I’d pop the toy in the freezer to make it cold for extra relief. PediaTip: Wipe to clean; don’t submerge in water.

The Honest Company is known for its naturally-derived, nontoxic products, and I love how this gift set bundles several of their top-selling newborn essentials into one convenient kit! With diapers, wipes, a gentle shampoo, a body lotion, and more, it’s the perfect baby shower gift or present for new parents.

Why It’s a PediaPick:

Babies often seem like they’re spiting up all day long. Spitting up is normal (up to a point). I love these burp cloths because they’re 100% cotton and they have a reinforced terry cloth backing, making them nice and absorbent. Plus, they’re pretty to look at and they hold up well after multiple washes!
