SwaddleMe
I consider this blanket one of the most important baby items you can buy. Definitely a “must have” for a new mother who wants to get some sleep! Basically, this provides the simplest way to swaddle with soft fabric wings with Velcro that tightly snuggles the baby. A leg pouch drops down for quick diaper changes while leaving the baby comfortably swaddled. There are three fabric choices: flannel, fleece and cotton jersey. Although there are great fabric options and sizing choices and color variations, I found that I liked the cotton jersey best, which also comes with the best color options. The flannel barely stretches, and the fleece made my son feel too warm and was a bit itchy. Swaddling with loose blankets is difficult to keep snug and poses a risk for SIDS. Pediatricians point out that swaddling soothes infants by recreating the comforting snugness of the womb, and blankets like SwaddleMe is a perfect way to secure babies. Better sleep means … 
SUPER WHY!

My son loves this show. This incredible series is designed to help kids ages 3-6 read through interactive reading adventures with familiar childhood stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and Three Little Pigs. The episodes start with a preschool-related problem and teaches them how to find a resolution with literacy powers. It’s a very creative and thought-provoking show that enhances their troubleshooting skills. Check out an episode and see why my son wants to be Super Why.
Beaba Babycook
Anyone can start making their own baby food. This is the secret… Beaba Babycook. Originating from France, the baby-food maker functions as a steamer, processor, warmer and blender, it has won praise throughout Europe and now is finally available to families in the U.S. This small appliance starts by steam-cooking vegetables, fruits, meat and fish in less than 15 minutes, preserving the valuable vitamins and flavors, then purees or blends them to the desired texture. Moreover, it also operates as a re-heater or defroster for precooked foods, which is ideal for busy parents like me. It comes with a 2 1/2-cup polycarbonate bowl, cooking basket, spatula and recipe booklet. The bowl and basket are dishwasher safe, and the size makes for easy storage on counter tops and in cabinets. However, it is quite pricey, and you’re likely to find some baby food processors that are half the price. 
The Flipper
Sanitizing your toothbrushes may be easier than you think. With Flipper toothbrush holders, I feel more confident that my son’s toothbrush is actually cleaning his teeth instead of spreading bacteria. As you may have read or heard, the toothbrush holder is only one small germy step above laying your toothbrush on the bathroom sink.
These clever and practical toothbrush holders suction tightly to the wall tile and keep the brushes self-contained, so there is minimal chance of passing germs from brush to brush. The best part is that it comes in a variety of colors and shapes. Your kids just push and pull their toothbrush in and out of the Flipper without ever having to touch the bristles. Plus, the Flipper also has razor holders. Even better, they are so cheap, costing $3.99 each. They are simply a fabulous addition to your bathroom.
