Restoration Hardware Baby & Child Clothing

Not too long ago we announced the birth of Restoration Hardware’s Baby & Child. They have not disappointed us so far in their line of beautiful products. Today we start with their organic cotton baby apparel. Their Apparel line does not skimp on one detail of quality. The fabric is supberb, the stitching is perfect, and the style is classic, yet sleek and modern, while still avoiding looking like baby versions of adult clothing. The only down point is one that will be true of most Restoration Hardware products… the price. This dress and pajamas are moderately pricey at $30. The sweater is most definitely pricey at $79. However, If you have it, you get the quality that will last several hand-me-downs later, and more than likely it will still be in style as well. RH Baby & Child also has a precious shoe line, all shoes running $20-34.



Philips Avent SCD 590 Digital Two-Parent Baby Monitor
Philips introduces a baby monitor with a sleek design and new DECT technology. Heavily reliable, it gives complete peace of mind for parents. It has two small portable cordless parental units for moving freely around the house with visible link indicators that show continuous connection with the baby monitor. I love the cool design and it truly has clear reception and I haven’t encountered any static. The coolest feature of this monitor is that is also functions as a nightlight, which an array of stars light up. However, I have a couple of problems.
1) the volume, at its highest, is still relatively low
2) the battery life for the mobile parental units is short
3) it’s very pricey.

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 … 
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.
Infant Rearview Mirror
As moms, we drive everywhere. Whether it’s running errands, picking up and dropping kids off school, or getting a cup of morning coffee, this rear view infant mirror is a great accessory in the car. It allows us to safely see our rear-facing infant clearly. We can get an eye on our babies. See them smiling, falling asleep and playing while you drive. The mirror has a simple attachment, fits most vehicles and comes in cute animals characters. You can choose from a panda bear, to a dog to a bear. Once your child is out of a rear-facing seat, you can use it as a fun mirror toy as well as put it inside a crib. 
Baby Bonkie
The name of the product is cute (Baby Bonkie) and the styles are delightful as well with great colors and various fabric options. However, the Velcro closures are not durable enough to encase a fidgety baby or a larger-than-average baby (for instance mine). The snug blanket fits too tight, making my loved one look/feel more like a baby in a burrito wrap than a baby in a swaddling wrap. However, the lining is chenille making for a very warm refuge from a cold day. This machine washable blanket also comes available in a lot of options, with special attention paid to color details.
