Print Cards
“These art cards are endlessly
entertaining to babies, who love staring at the contrasting black and white
designs. They’re also small enough to stow away in your diaper bag so you can
amuse baby on the go. My son still loves them almost a year later.”

Pump Ease Hands Free Pumping Bra
“If you are planning
to use a breast pump, a hands-free pumping bra is an absolute must-have. I love
Pump Ease Hands Free Pumping Bra—it frees a mom’s hands up while pumping so she
can read a book, write a thank you, eat a bowl of ice cream or whatever else.
It also enables her to change her breast pump settings without propping pump
parts under chin and limb.” (pumpease.com)

FlexiBath Baby Bath Tub
“Although my favorite place for infant bath is the kitchen
sink, every new parent should have a FlexiBath. This product

save water when using the big bathtub.” (arealcoolworld.com)

Wees Disposable Changing Pads
“You’ve
probably selected a prettier changing pad cover—maybe even to coordinate with
your nursery—and this will protect it from the inevitable messes. These pads
are super cheap and also work well to protect bassinet or crib sheets, too.”

stroller on the busy NYC sidewalks is a task within it self; throw an umbrella
into the mix and you need a PHD! My Blue Bumbershoot is a hands free umbrella

and the wind pattern. Bring on the rain!” (mybluebumbershoot.com)

“I adore this all-in-one life organizer for women who are going back to
work after their children are born. The kit includes a daily
baby log, menu planner, immunization record and CPR magnet, and
there’s also a CD with templates to help you navigate the
most difficult topics with your employer, such as Alternative Work
Schedule Agreement, Pumping Space Proposal and Work Re-Entry Guide. A kit that
helps us advocate for the working Mom? Genius!” (smartsolutiontoolkit.com)
