Baby Products for the First Year, Part 2

by Kimberly Ward, designer at Kimberly + Cameron Interiors and author of the blog Lavender Gloss

Editor’s note: This is the second in a two-part series on recommended baby products.

5. Swaddling Wraps. You will learn about swaddling in one of your many pre-natal classes.  Your friends might tell you about it in passing.  I am here to let  you in on the secret to expertly swaddling your newborn. It’s all in the wrap.  Save yourself  some frustration and buy the best wraps that you can.  Your baby will wiggle out of a poor wrap job in no time flat.  Don’t choose a wrap with the perfectly still doll from class in mind. No, choose a wrap for that athlete that has been actively kicking in your womb for 9 months.

6. Baby Plus. This baby learning system is hands down, the best product that I used during my pregnancy. I believe that I could raise my baby in a jungle and wrap her in leaves because her disposition is so pleasant.  She nursed right out of the womb and slept through the night from the very beginning.  She is very alert, extremely calm and as I write this, she is 15 months old and using the potty when she gets out of bed in the morning. I believe that I will constantly discover ways in which she has benefited from this system.

7. Bumbo Baby Seat.  Truly your second set of hands! Use it for feeding or whenever you need to safely sit your baby down. I love this award-winning product and know that you will too.

8. Giraffe Baby Teether. Your baby will chew on things.  Every thing!  Make sure that you keep plenty of safe teethers around for them to chew on.  My favorite is this giraffe baby teether.
