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.
Sea Creatures

We love the creativity of boon’s Creatures. Free of BPA, phthalates and PVC, these fish are as functional as they are cute. Your child can mix and match parts to create new underwater species, scoop up water and bubbles, or squirt a sibling. The basic design invites creativity and lets your child create whatever sea creatures their heart desires.
Stroller Mitts for Mom

Tired of feeling your fingers freeze on the handle of your stroller? So were the moms behind the Mommy Mitten – a fleece-lined, water-resistant hand warmer that simply secures around the handle of your stroller to keep your fingers cozy and dry. (No more struggling with clumsy gloves or mittens.) There’s even an external zipper pocket for your keys, cell phone, or baby's pacifier. The Mommy Mitten is available at The InnoShop (a collection of innovative and unique children's products invented by parentpreneurs), by ONS GEAR. onsgear.com
Halloween Cute Times Two

Halloween dress-up is twice the fun when there’s a matching costume for your child’s doll. Just when we thought Pottery Barn Kids couldn’t get any cuter they doubled the fun with matching child and doll Halloween costumes. We adore the Puffy Cupcake costume for kids (size 6 months to 8 years) and doll-sized version.
Best Pregnancy Coat Ever

Pregnancy plus winter often equals a coat conundrum – how to keep warm without resorting to your partner's old ski jacket? Enter the M Coat. Canadian made, this stylish, cozy coat features a pregnancy panel that makes room for baby, both before and after you deliver. And, when you're no longer wearing your baby, just remove the panel for a regular fitting winter coat. The M coat is 100 percent Canadian down, comes in 10 colours and offers a lifetime warranty. themcoat.com
Loving Sleep Mates

My three-year-old Beckett declared his SwaddleDesigns Baby Lovie a favorite sleep companion before he could roll over. It’s the one baby accessory that has proven irreplaceable over the years. Beckett’s not alone in his love of the tiny 14- by 14-inch satin-trimmed blanket. Shiloh Jolie Pitt has also declared the SwaddleDesigns Lovie a favorite.
SwaddleDesigns is committed to providing safe sleep accessories at an early age. In addition to their famous lovie, SwaddleDesigns also offers the SwaddleDuo–a pair of swaddling blankets to keep baby comfortable and safe in a variety of temperatures.
