So, today is finally baby day! As you’re reading this, I’m at the hospital getting my third c-section (after two musts, I had to choice on this one…) or snuggling the new baby, so thought it would be appropriate today to post some of my favorite baby/nursery products. Some are “oldies” but goodies that I’ve actually used, and some are new since I had my last baby almost three years ago. One thing I’ve noticed is that finally parents are able to get things that are great for baby, but not in hideous prime colors that any stylish parent can’t stomach!
1) I was in West Elm last week checking out some pillows for a client and ran into this new glider/ottoman they have (yup, I seriously ran right into it…the belly on me is outrageous and throwing off all sorts of balance!)
2) For all of you who live in cold climates, this little carseat cover from 7 AM Enfant is amazing. I have it in black and have used it for all three of my kids so it was well worth the investment…super cozy for the kid and super stylish for you.
3) This is a high chair from Baby Bjorn that came on the market just over a year ago. What’s great is that it breaks down to store in tight places and wipes down very easily.
4) When it comes to sleeping, there are three products that are a must: a crib (this Oeuf Sparrow is the one I have and am about to use with my third baby…love it because it’s unisex and goes with any type of decor); a travel crib (this one from Baby Bjorn is perfection–at 11 lbs or so it’s so easy to travel with and has an amazing warranty); and finally, a cot for when baby is sleeping in your room when they first come home (I have the Arm’s Reach Co-Sleeper, but seriously this one is WAY nicer…)
5) A good lounger is a must and I love this sleek one from bloom. There wasn’t anything on the market like this six years ago when I was buying all my baby stuff.
6) Finally, when it comes to artwork, one of my favorite sources is Sugarboo Designs—such fun, whimsical pieces (Note, they’re often available on sources like One King’s Lane so be sure to sign up and check them out for sales) and Etsy has some really great pieces for kids to make your new nursery really special.
Amy will give you all an update on the baby tomorrow!
