  As the parent of a newborn, I was naturally terrified of the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). According to the American SIDS Institute, babies should sleep on their backs in their own crib, never in your bed. With our newborn, my husband and I used the Halo Bassinest Swivel Sleeper, Essentia Series, which was easy to set up and use and...

  I want my daughter to know that it's important to always be herself, but I need tools to help teach her that. One of the tools I use is a book about authenticity that follows a unicorn who learns it's OK to stand out. The book is from the Slumberkins — they have bundles of books and stuffed animals that cover important and...

  I don't usually let my daughter play with the germ-covered toys in doctors' waiting rooms, so I bought a popular waiting room toy for her to play with at home. I love that the Battat Wooden Activity Cube will grow with my daughter. We started using it when she was 9 months old, and she's 14 months now.  The play cube has a...

  A toy box is a must to keep kids' spaces organized, especially if you don't have a designated playroom.  The Melissa & Doug Wooden Toy Chest holds 8.25 cubic feet of toys, so a lot of my daughter's toys fit inside, and it keeps our living room looking at least somewhat organized.  Little fingers won't get pinched with a lid that stays open...

  Mealtime with a toddler can be frustrating and messy when they insist on throwing their entire plate on the floor. The OXO Tot Stick & Stay Suction Bowls and Plates ($9.99 each) are the first bowls and plates I've tried that my 1-year-old isn't able to get off the table. They're the perfect size for toddlers, and they have a wall that makes...

LunchBots makes bento boxes starting around $20 in a variety of sizes and configurations.  Sometimes I struggle with including variety in lunches and snacks, so the preportioned compartments encourage me to be creative about what I pack. I love that these containers are stainless steel and that you can also get colorful inserts and covers so kids can personalize their box. They're also very...
