Promising review: "I never had any intentions of purchasing the Owlet until after we brought our daughter home and had a scare due to reflux! The next day we drove 30 minutes away to purchase it. I have slept so much better since. We have not received false notifications except the occasional 'check placement' when baby was kicking a little too much. The solution to this is we just place normal socks on her feet and it stops that from happening! I would purchase this product over and over and would recommend it to everyone! It helps us sleep so much better, especially when baby came down with a cold and was super congested. The Owlet assured me her oxygen was 100% and the same day in the doctor's office their machine read 100% as well. It’s great knowing my babe is sleeping safe at night!" —Mommy27

Promising review: "The pro is the way to go! We haven’t had any issues using the newest of the Miku line. It connects quickly and offers an amazing image quality. The vital monitoring seems spot on for our little one." —Andria

BuzzFeed editor John Mihaly swears by this gadget. He said:
"Listen, listen, listen. Without hyperbole, the Baby Brezza has been one of my best investments for year one in babyland. Late-night feeds no longer become about fumbling, spilling, mixing, warming, and minutes later delivering a so-so bottle to a crying child. No, in seconds a measured and warm concoction is in hand and then in baby's mouth. Just add water to the tank and formula to the dispenser and serve bottles ranging between 2–10 ounces warmed to three different temperatures. The time, effort, and stress this wonderful machine has saved me from is emotionally immeasurable and worth the price tag. It even forces you to clean it after every four uses because that formula gets gunky and you get lazy."
Get it from Baby Brezza for $229.99 and check out the newest version (it connects to Wi-Fi and let's you use an app to start making the bottle before you even get out of bed!) for $299.99.

The Deluxe+ Dock comes in so many styles I'm honestly not sure how you'll decide which one to buy!
Promising review: "My daughter loves her DockATot and I love how it is the perfect size to take when traveling or even going over to a friend's house. I would recommend buying it without a second thought. It’s probably the best thing I have bought for my daughter so far." —Crystal J

When you subscribe you'll receive 192 diapers every four weeks, but you can update the frequency or ship date any time. Coterie's diapers are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, chlorine-free, alcohol-free, and paraben-free.
Promising review: "We absolutely love these diapers! We've been using them alongside many other diapers and these are clearly superior. They fit extremely well and look really nice on our baby. They aren't saggy and they don't have random pictures all over them. Thus they look great under white clothes, too — our baby wears a lot of white onesies and the diaper patterns look horrible under there. These diapers also feel just wonderful, and downright luxurious next to the other diapers we've tried. We are really grateful for these diapers" —Daniel C.

This swaddle is perfect from birth to six months, allows for easy diaper changes, and (most importantly) immobilizes their little arms so they can't accidentally scratch themselves.
Promising review: "Love these! Used them with my first and it was a lifesaver. It helped her sleep so much better that I always had several on hand just in case there were any accidents. I plan to use them again with my daughter when she’s born. Definitely a must-have!" —Timmons3516

Promising review: "This is amazing!! I am such a germ freak, so the mesh ones were not going to fly with me. The fact that this entire thing comes apart to sterilize is wonderful. Then add the different size heads for it is great for those just starting foods. My little one has two teeth and absolutely loves this thing. We use frozen cut up fruit and veggies and he goes nuts. Keeps him occupied for hours!! Definitely recommend 😀" —Danielle Fox

It also includes a HEPA filter to ensure everything is dried with clean air. It can hold up to eight bottles and two full pump part sets. Additionally, my best friend swears by this product and highly recommends it.
Promising review: "You guys....if you are expecting (or trying to get a gift for someone who is)....GET THIS PUPPY NOW. I ended up getting this after a few sleepless nights and not feeling like my bottles were staying clean while drying on the grass counter mat. This has been a lifesaver. It is so easy to use and works in a hurry. The best part = it dries your bottles too. No more waiting around for them to dry. Every evening I load em' in and they are sterilized and dried within 45 to 60 minutes. What could be better?! Definitely a game-changer everyone should have on their list." —MorganS

Promising review: "This is not the first infant car seat we have purchased over the years. This is the second Chicco seat. Our previous one kept our 1-year-old daughter unharmed after a horrible car accident. We decided to give their new seat a try this time. It is so easy to install either by latch or car seatbelt. The shoulder straps are easy to adjust to the right height. Our little one isn’t quite 5 pounds and it fits her well. Super easy to tighten her in. Bonus is the ClearTex fabric. The padding looks comfortable for her. Another great car seat!" —Emily R.

Promising review: "I am obsessed! These swaddles are amazing and grow with your baby! They’re lightweight but heavy enough, if that makes sense. These designs are everything. I can’t wait for the new release. I wish these were out with my other two when they were babies. If you are feeling hesitant, don’t be it’s totally worth it!" —Skye J.

I got this for my best friend for her baby shower and since her little one has coming along it's quickly become one of her favorite products! Her daughter loves staring up at the mobile and doesn't fuss as much when getting changed. She also loves that's it's very simple to clean — a big bonus!
Promising review: "This changing pad is the best thing I’ve bought for our nursery. This is my second baby and with my first we had a traditional changing pad with covers. The Skip Hop changing pad is soooo much easier because I am not constantly changing and washing the covers. My baby loves looking at the mobile and it is so stylish in the nursery." —MelM
You can check out a bunch of other WubbaNub designs here.
Promising review: "I used to think these were just a gimmick, but then I had a baby. A baby that only liked the standard soothie pacifiers. The animal is essential for a babe who is still developing his dexterity. He can grab it and put it in his mouth on his own at four months. Highly recommend. Care — I just toss them in the washer as need and then dip the pacifier part in boiling water for five minutes." —Christine

Promising review: "The pictures posted here are legit. It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It’s amazing and gross and wonderful. My babe doesn’t even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then I slowly start to comb in sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in multiple directions. It’s shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I’ve even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!" —ZMomUtah

Promising review: "Great quality pin, well made, well packaged. Has a valid point on it. I wear this to all the parent things I have to attend. I wish I had this when my daughter got her first car. It would have been required to be visible on her person for each police officer to read as she was issued so many tickets." —Greendrgn
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
Promising review: "What a lifesaver. Our baby (currently two months old) LOVES this swing. This thing helps to put him to sleep almost instantly, thanks to the two vibration modes, the music, and the different speeds. I would definitely recommend this swing to any new parents because it’s very helpful in putting baby to sleep and/or calming them down." —JamieLeeC

I used Artifact Uprising to make copies of my wedding album for both my mom and my mother-in-law. We were able to feature more of each of their sides of the family with minimal effort — the results were gorgeous.
Promising review: "Book was very well put together, the foil touch, the fabric, the binding. The paper was much thicker than I expected so the book felt even more substantial and special. Image reproduction was great. Colors were softer than the originals but the effect was still wonderful." —Jane C.

Promising review: "My two month old always cried during baths, I thought she was the only baby who hated bath time! I bought these sponges because she has cradle cap and wanted something soft enough to use on her head but strong enough that it’ll get ride of the cradle cap. Well, I ended up using the sponge on her whole body and this was the first time she enjoyed bath time! I think she didn’t like the feel of the rags I was using but likes the sponges instead. This was definitely worth buying!"—Angie

Promising review: "I bought this tub for my son when he was two days old and now at 9 months he still uses it. The sling was comfy for the newborn stage and worked perfect. Never any issues. I put it in the big tub so my 9 month old and 22 month old can bathe at the same time, and they LOVE it. I've taken it outside like a pool and used it as a chair. With my oldest we went through like four tubs her first year and I hated all of them. This was a good price, safe, and built well. Definitely recommend!!" —CarolinaMama

Promising review: "LOVE this bassinet. Great price and quality. Love all the features it comes with. The light is perfect for night feedings. Love that its on wheels so I can roll it from room to room. Perfect size — doesn't take up much room. If your looking for a great bassinet I highly recommend this product. It truly is a great product that has been super helpful." —Cara
Get it from Walmart for $44.98 (originally $49.98).
This magical machine of a bassinet automatically responds to babies' cries and fussing with soothing rocking and white noise. It also prevents risky rolling thanks to its three hip-safe sleep sack swaddled. Additionally, you can connect it to an app to log your little one's sleep and adjust the motion and sound. There's even a specific mode for preemies and an option to help wean your baby out of the bassinet and into a crib.
Promising review: "We jumped on the bandwagon a few weeks after the birth of our baby. Initially I was put off a bit by the price and bought a cheaper bassinet. However after four weeks of baby only doing two- to three-hour sleep chunks at a time at night and having to spend one to two hours a night trying to get him to fall asleep, I broke down and bought one. Best. Decision. Ever.
The first night in the SNOO, he was doing five- to six- hour sleep chunks. By 10 weeks, he was sleeping through the night from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Getting him to fall asleep went from taking over an hour to under a minute. It was incredible. I didn't dread nighttime anymore! At 15 weeks, he transitioned seamlessly to his crib and has been doing his 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. sleeps in it ever since.
I recommend this to all of my parent-to-be friends. Don't let the price scare you off; after a few weeks of virtually no sleep, I was ready to pay any amount of money to feel rested. Great product, aesthetically pleasing, easy to bring on travels (we took our on a road trip along the CA coast). 5/5 stars." —Hannah
