Eco-Friendly Popsicle Molds

When it comes to healthy treats for kids, nothing beats a popsicle on a warm sunny day. So when we discovered these stainless steel popsicle molds, we just had to share them! Durable, food safe and earth friendly, the stainless steel ensures popsicles freeze fast. The mold is also easy to clean and lasts a lifetime. The molds are designed so you can take them out one at a time for a single serving, or several all at once if you’re hosting a playdate – each stand comes with six molds and lids, as well as 12 silicone rings to ensure proper stick placement. thetickletrunk.com

Come Out of Hiding

It’s tempting to stay indoors with a newborn for fear that the second you head out in public your babe will wantto dine. While many mothers are comfortable breastfeeding in public, those who aren’t can rejoice in The Hideout. Created by the Canadian company Baby Boomba, The Hideout is a fashionable and easy way to discreetly cover your newborn while she feeds.
The breastfeeding cover is 100 percent natural, made with breathable biodegradable bamboo fabric (one side is knit and the other is fleece). It even doubles as a blanket when baby wants to take a nap after she’s full.
Baby's First Journals

We'll never forget those early days when we couldn't remember which breast we'd last fed our newborns on, or the last time they soiled their diapers. Ah, those hazy, crazy days of early motherhood! So, naturally, trust a mom to come up with the perfect solution: Baby's First Journal from Glow Baby. The stylish journal slips easily into any diaper bag and is a sleeping, feeding and diapering log that also helps you keep track of your baby's growth and chart her milestones and special moments. Glow Baby recently added Baby's First Foods, a diary designed to help you identify food likes, dislikes, sensitivities and potential allergies. (There's also a spot for recording favourite recipes and weekly menu planning.) glowbaby.ca

Celebrity Swaddles

There’s a reason why stars like Heidi Klum (seen here), Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts swaddle their babies in aden & anais–their swaddle blankets are stylish and practical. The swaddle blankets were created by mother of four and Australian native Raegan Moya-Jones when she saw the lack of muslin cotton blankets available in the United States. A common swaddling fabric in Australia, muslin is light, breathable and prevents overheating. Plus, the aden & anais swaddle blanket’s generous 47 by 47 size makes it easy to swaddle babies of all ages. The blanket can also be used as a nursing cover, stroller cover or burp cloth.
