Top parenting stories this week
From baby toys and cool threads to store openings and things to do with your little one. We cover the new, the old favourites and the best-kept secrets for everything baby.
Baby Medicine Bottle

Trying to give medicine to a baby can be a messy, stressful process – which is why we love ReliaDose (designed by a mom, of course!). The baby medicine delivery system is designed for infants up to 18 months. A syringe ensures you measure the right amount of medicine while the bottle helps you mask the taste with your baby's favourite beverage. No more tears, no more spilt medicine! reliadose.com
We'll announe the winner on our Facebook Fan Page!
Clean Eating

Who has time to clean a bib after every use? The innovative design of Bébé au Lait’s Reversible Double Bib provides four clean surfaces, making it easy to cover up baby’s mess from the last feeding. Double-sided magnets make the bib easy to put on even the squirmiest of tots, and the designs are so lux you’ll wish your little one had a matching outfit.
BPA-Free Baby Bottles

If you liked the old Adiri BPA-free baby bottles, you’ll love the new-and-improved version. The Adiri Ultimate Nurser is still 100 percent polycarbonate- and BPA-free, but now the bottles have a new leak-proof cap and better flow control. They’re also more durable–and the cap and warming plate transform into a super handy snack pot once your baby is ready for finger foods. As always, we love the soft, breast-shaped nipple, which reduces nipple confusion and helps make the switch from breast to bottle a whole lot easier for both mom and baby. Available in slow, medium and fast-flow. thewatergeeks.com

Eco-friendly Bath Time

Our kids love bath time, but when we added kid-friendly suds from eco-friendly Nature Clean, it took washing up to a whole new level. We like the new line of gentle bath products because they’re made from almost 100 percent natural ingredients and don’t contain parabens, sulphates, synthetic fragrances or dyes. Our kids like them for the Treehouse factor–each product features a colourful Treehouse character on the bottle. (The Franklin the Turtle foaming hand soap was a big hit in our house–who knew we’d have to tell a three-year-old to stop washing his hands?!) There’s also bubble bath, 2-in-1 shampoo, body wash, body lotion and leave-in detangler. naturecleanliving.com

Adjustable Toy Strap

We don’t know about you, but as new moms we always seem to leave a litter of dropped toys and sippy cups in our wake. That was before we started attaching a Simply on Board strap to everything in sight. You just attach one Velcro end of the strap to a stroller, car seat, high chair, baby carrier (you get the idea), and the other adjustable end (Velcro again–simple!) to the thing you don’t want to lose, whether it’s your baby’s favorite soother or the indispensible Sophie the Giraffe. There are two machine-washable straps per pack and a variety of colors to choose from. Available at Babies R Us, as well as in store and online at Mastermind Toys (mastermindtoys.com).
