Like every other new mom, I am in constant pursuit of the latest and greatest new baby items. Below is my shortlist:
1.) Merry Muscle Jumper - As a Brooklyn momma who struggles with limited space, this jumper works great because you can screw it into a beam and take it down when not in use. In my opinion, this is important because you can avoid buying yet another piece of Fisher Price plastic that will further contribute to the growing display in your family room. This jumper keeps my baby entertains for more than 15 minutes and we laugh and giggle and smile at how cute he looks in it.
2.) Sophie the Giraffe – Ok, so I’ll admit it. I was intrigued with this giraffe after seeing it in the hands of so many babies (ok, celebrity babies). I was interested with the historical relevance, and even more so, that this toy has been helping babies teeth since 1961. I decided to pay the hefty price and buy Benji his very own. Not quite sure I agree that this should cost $22, but nonetheless, Sophie has helped with Benji's teething woes.
3.) Kiddopotamus Swaddles – Let it be known that my child loved being swaddled. And when I mean swaddled, I mean Hannibal Lecter swaddle style. When we brought him home from the hospital (Benji, not Hannibal Lecter) we quickly learned that the old fashion swaddle blankets wouldn’t cut it. But the Kiddopotamus wraps kept his hands snug in the contents of the wrap so that he couldnt accidently or deliberately wake himself up.
4.) Medela Pump In Style – this is a must have for any pumping / working mom. While the price is steep, I found it to be my saving grace (and still is). Hands down one of the best purchases I made in the last five months.
5.) City Mini Stroller – I am a huge fan of the city mini, not only because it is extremely durable for the city streets, but because it is the lightest of stroller (aside from the Graco umbrella strollers) so it makes carrying it up brownstones with an infant in tow much easier.
