    31 Things From Target You'll Probably Consider A Must-Have If You're A Parent

    Including a foot massager because you d-e-s-e-r-v-e it.

    1. A kids' electric toothbrush with a two-minute timer that is a serious game changer. We got one of these for our 2-year-old when we hit a wall with toothbrushing and now he's totally back on the routine. Once you go electric you'll never go back!

    2. A pair of Ring cameras that'll give you peace of mind when you are not able to be in two places at once. Ring Indoor Cam is your solution to quickly check what’s happening at home, or in another room of the house, right from your phone or tablet. This way you can somewhat go to the bathroom in peace?!

    3. An awesome mini trampoline that will make your little ones *jump* for joy! We got this for our two kids at the beginning of the pandemic and it is still a hit and helped on those days we experienced cabin fever. It is small enough to use indoors and the safety bar folds down so you can easily store it under your bed or couch.

    4. A travel wipes dispenser because it's a great solution for quick and easy on-the-go diaper changes. It includes a strap that conveniently hangs on strollers and diaper bags and makes for a way better option than the bulky baby wipe bag.

    5. An on-the-go Neosporin spray for all those unbeknownst scratches and cuts while you are out and about. This is perfect to put on your key chain, slip in your purse or keep in your car.

    6. A toddler kitchen helper to help your kiddos learn how to do the dishes?! (One can only hope). We love this product in our house, it helps foster independence in the kitchen. Our kids can wash their hands and reach their favorite snacks all on their own.

    7. A Babybjörn bouncer that I don't know how I would have lived without. The natural rocking stimulates your child’s development and helps them stop crying (I swear). It's easy to wash, has an ergonomic design, folds flat to store easily, and is just plain wonderful.

    8. A baby carrier you won't regret purchasing. These are a necessity when you have a new bundle of joy on the way. This was the one product I can confidently say we used the most. It holds kids up to 45lbs., and babies can be worn inward- or forward-facing.

    9. A machine-washable shopping cart cover that gives me so much peace of mind when grocery shopping. This ingenious product fits most shopping carts and restaurant-style high chairs, keeping your kiddo from touching their germy surfaces — AND it folds up into a small pouch, so you can easily throw it into your diaper bag/purse.

    10. A bottle sterilizer that'll make hand washing bottles and boiling them a thing of the past. This sterilizer can clean six bottles in six minutes and is guaranteed to kill 99.9% of germs!

    11. A formula mixer because sometimes you need an extra hand, or device, to help mix those 3 a.m. bottles. This mixer is BPA-free, stores up to 24-oz of formula, and is designed to reduce air bubbles. It also has an adjustable time ring to let you know when the formula was prepared so you don't have to guess.

    13. A pack of four organic bamboo nursing pads that are reusable and safe for baby to latch after using them. These are easy to use, help reduce odor, and are an all around amazing product for new moms.

    14. And a Frida Mom Sore Nipple kit to help you get through those first painful months of breastfeeding and pumping. Moms love how this kit comes with everything they need for instant relief. It also makes for a great baby shower gift.

    15. And breast milk storage bags to keep your milk fresh for weeks on end. These bags are super strong and have double-sealed sides. They are also BPA-free and pre-sterilized. YAY for effective baby products!
