    33 Things To Make You Look Like You Actually Know What You're Doing In The Parenting Department

    Fake it 'til you make it, my friends.

    1. A farmstand-themed activity gym that'll transform into a growth chart as your kiddo gets older! It comes with over 17 different developmental activities to keep 'em busy so you can watch that episode of Real Housewives you've been eyeing.

    2. An easy-to-use OXO grape cutter to show the world you're capable of preparing a healthy snack for your toddler even if it isn't packaged into an artful display like the ones all over TikTok.

    3. An Owlet Smart Sock that'll help any new parent feel comfortable heading off to sleep — it'll track your baby's heart rate and oxygen level, tell you when they need you, and measure how long they slept. Magical.

    4. Or a Miku Pro Smart Baby Monitor, which uses patented sensor fusion technology to track your baby's vitals and nursery conditions. We really are living in the future.

    5. A Baby Brezza formula dispensing machine to mix and warm bottles for your little one — it'll make those middle-of-the-night feeding sessions a bit more bearable for you both.

    6. A Skip Hop play pen complete with a lil' entertainment center to settle the never-ending storms that seem to erupt from that tiny human you brought into the world.

    7. Expandable drawer organizers from OXO, so when your kiddo ruins yet another outfit (it's inevitable) you'll quickly be able to grab an appropriate one to change them into.

    8. A Colugo stroller in a stylish design that'll show the other parents at the park you are *not* here to mess around when it comes to fashion, safety, and accessibility. This stroller has it all!

    9. A DockATot all the social media parents rave about — and for good reason! It'll provide you with an aesthetically pleasing place to plop your little one for nap time, tummy time, and even diaper changes.

    10. A handmade felt mobile inspired by pop culture favorites like Pokémon, Pixar's UP, and so many more. A must-have for anyone looking for something that'll soothe their tyke as they drift off to sleep and perfectly accent their nursery theme.

    11. A brushed cotton crib sheet that'll feel nice 'n' soft against your baby's skin and match the ones you have and love on your own bed.

    12. A Coterie diaper subscription to ensure you never find yourself without, arguably, the most important staple in any parents' household.

    13. A set of soft Minnie Mouse blocks for your playful lil' tyke — mostly so they won't have the opportunity to chuck wooden objects around the room (or accidentally directly at you).

    14. A Halo Swaddle that can be worn in three different ways, guaranteed to keep your mini-me comfy and cozy at all times.

    15. And a Halo SleepSack in a fun Disney print for when they grow and want a bit more freedom — this version features an inverted zipper that'll make diaper changes a breeze.

    16. A two-in-one silicone feeder pacifier you can use to introduce your baby to new foods (yuuuum!) and help soothe painful gums (teething, fun!). You can fill it with frozen fruits, veggies, or milk and take a sigh of relief when you see how much they enjoy it.

    17. A Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, because why not add another gadget into the mix? This one will automatically sterilize your bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam.

    18. A Chicco car seat developed with Greenguard Gold Certified fabric that doesn't include added chemical treatments so you can have peace of mind when you buckle Junior in for a ride.

    19. A glider and matching ottoman for those late night and early morning feeding sessions. You'll love how comfortable it is and how cute it looks in the nursery when you're not sleepily sitting in it at 4 a.m.

    20. A Harry Potter-inspired swaddle blanket that'll get you tons of Instagram likes (that's why people have babies, right?) and also encourage your tyke's love of magic from the start.

    21. A Skip Hop changing pad with a darling mobile above it to keep your antsy kiddo distracted while you handle the dirty work. Sigh, being a baby is *so* much better than being an adult.

    22. A WubbaNub pacifier with a plushie attached to it so your kiddo will always have something to cuddle with. Also, they're just really freakin' cute.

    23. An organic and Oeko-Tex certified muslin drool bib, because your little one is going to drool all over their clothes if you don't place one of these on them. At least they'll still look stylish!

    24. A cradle cap comb that'll remove dry skin from your tyke's scalp so gently they won't even notice you're doing it — shout out to the soft rubber bristles on this comb.

    25. An enamel pin to add to any new Mom's denim jacket to remind everyone they're doing their best even when their tyke is screaming their little heart out in public.

    26. A simple Graco swing that'll carefully sway your baby from side to side so you can hopefully put them down for a little and actually get some laundry done (imagine???).

    27. A personalized photo book filled with pictures of special memories of your kiddo's first year, because if there's one thing you're going to be great at it's going to be documenting every silly, gross, and adorable thing they do.

    28. Plant-based konjac bath sponges that'll actually make bath time *so* much fun. My apologies to your rubber ducky.

    29. And a too-cute baby bath tub you and your little one will have a *whale-y* good time using.

    30. A darling Delta Children bassinet with a celestial theme and features any tired parent will consider to be *~out of this world~*. We're talkin' soothing sounds, a nightlight, a water-resistant mattress, and a large storage shelf.

    31. Or a splurge-worthy Snoo Smart Sleeper, a must-have for any gadget-obsessed parent who has been itching to get their hands on the coolest baby gear around. Uh, also any parent who is willing to do anything to get their baby to sleep.

    32. A teething ring made of silicone and wood, starring a cute lil' giraffe who will keep your baby company while they chew away and relieve some of the unpleasant feelings in their gums.

    33. And a subscription to Disney+, because sometimes even the most resilient, hands-on parent deserves a break to relax and let their kiddos enjoy an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
