So, there are only like 476,823 different baby products out there (okay, that's probably being conservative). Some of them are phenomenally ingenious and/or useful, while others are a total waste of money. (There is always the third category of things that depend on the baby/family, but we won't address those here.) Here's my top list of world's best baby products.
Soothie pacifiers. Aubrey came home with one of these from the hospital. We switched for a brief time to another style/brand, but when she started teething, this was her preference because of the all-rubber design. One of her favorite things to do is turn it around in odd positions and chew on all sides of it.
Newborn gowns. So nice not to have to fuss with any snaps for those middle-of-the-night diaper changes during those first few sleep-depraved weeks. And they're just comfy. However, when the legs start to become more active, the gown must be abandoned; otherwise, the feet wind up near the neck hole.
Zip-up sleep-n-play. After the time of the gown has come to an end, these are perfect. There are no snaps for little toes to get caught between, and ultimately bust out of. (I can't tell you how many times my girl has had one leg hanging out of her jammies.)
To wrap up the sleepwear section: the Sleep Sack. Goofy sounding, but a great product. After the skill of rolling has been acquired, gone is the hope of keeping the little one under any sort of cover or blanket. This is the solution, especially if you keep a cold house at night, as we do.
The Boppy. Genius. For a breastfeeding mom, it's an arm-saver. For baby, it's a support system from newborn to sitter.
Jogging stroller. Specifically, with a switchable front wheel (changes from swivel to fixed). The three-wheel (swivel) design is SO easy to maneuver. The bicycle-style tires make for a very smooth ride. The fixed wheel is awesome for actual jogging.
Mum-Mum rice crackers. There are other baby finger food products that we have enjoyed, but none as much as these. Aubrey can eat them totally independently, which she loves, and the texture is perfect and dissolves quickly.
That concludes today's installment of the 2011 buyer's guide according to Meg. More favorites will be brought to your attention in the future :)
