This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.comWell, I’m 6 months into this new mom thing (again)…and it’s going pretty well!  I mean she’s still alive and thriving and we seem to be getting a bit more sleep, so that’s a WIN in my book!  Heidi sure does keep us on our toes and she’s growing like a weed.  She really is the happiest and most smiley baby I’ve ever seen.  She’s starting to figure things out and get bored easily and even has a bit of separation anxiety when I leave the room.  The one thing I keep saying to myself when I see new baby items is “Wow!  They didn’t have this almost 10 years ago when I had Connor?”  So many things have changed in a decade and I love trying and sharing my favorite baby products with YOU!  So, it’s a new year & I’d love to share some NEW fun baby products we’ve been trying lately and you can check them out too!  I also love connecting with new Moms on Instagram and the blog…it’s so fun!

The first item we are loving is the new Snuggle Knit Collection from aden + anais™

The NEW aden + anais™ snuggle knit collection is made of the softest fabric designed for the ultimate snuggle. This would be the perfect gift if you know someone about to have a baby.  It has everything needed for a hospital stay and afterwards.  The set comes with a beautiful knotted gown, hat, swaddle blanket, & bandana bib (The bib is exclusive to the newborn gift set).  This super soft set is available in three prints – heather grey, rosettes, and navy stripe.  The newborn gift set retails for $59.95.  The knotted gown, hat and swaddle blanket can also be bought separately. The snugly little lovey retails for $19.95 – Perfect for babies and toddlers, the snuggle knit lovey will be much-loved by little ones & provide calm and comfort at any time of the day. I love the super stretchy and SOFT fabric which makes it easy to swaddle and use as your baby grows.
The snuggle knit newborn set is available for purchase at adenandanais.com, Amazon, at retailers including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, and at select specialty boutiques across the country.

The second thing we are obsessed with is the Lil’ Squish Jellyfish Sensory Rattle + Teething Toy from Baby BananaThis little lady is a drooly teething mess lately.  Anything she can stick in her mouth she will!  The Lil’ Squish Jellyfish Sensory Rattle + Teething Toy will keep your curious little one busy and happy through the teething phase and beyond. It’s made of 100% silicone, Lil’ Squish has a soft, squishy head with lots of fun textures for little mouths to explore. A variety of colorful tentacle loops make it easy to hold and maneuver and provide more teething textures, as well as promote hand-eye coordination in children.

The third item on my new Mama baby list is Butt Paste Maximum Strength Tube from Boudreaux’s

This is a product we already use and this might be an over-share…but Heidi has been sick with an ear infection and has been taking antibiotics this week.  Nothing gives your baby diaper rash like getting the runs from medicine…ugggghhh….

She actually hasn’t had that big of a problem with diaper rash until now.  Just wait until your baby gets sick or starts eating solids then queue a diaper rash!  Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Maximum Strength formula contains 40% Zinc Oxide for when stubborn diaper rash needs a little more attention. A must-have addition to any diaper bag and nursery changing station, Boudreaux’s Butt Paste quickly and effectively treats rash without harsh ingredients like dyes, preservatives, parabens and talc. The product works by forming a protective layer on soft baby skin to soothe rash discomfort – leaving both baby and parents happy!  You can see a difference in as little as 3 hours!

The fourth item on our list is the Tinkle Crinkle Activity Ball and Tinkle Crinkle Caterpillar from GUND

This gal loves anything with a crunchy sound or thingies sticking out of it! Lol!

The Tinkle Crinkle Activity Ball features lovable characters from the Tinkle Crinkle Collection in soft, 3-D cut-outs on top of sections of different-textured fabric and multicolored ribbons for a mix of sensory-stimulating play. This soft plush ball has safe embroidered details and is easy to grip and throw by little hands and is machine washable for easy cleaning!The classic Tinkle Crinkle Caterpillar has been updated with fun, new patterns and a more modern look for modern babies. Each part of 16.5-inch Tinkle Crinkle Caterpillar includes a fun surprise for baby, including squeaker, crinkle, rattle, and more in bright, primary colors and fabric with textures to promote tactile and sensory stimulating play. Tinkle’s embroidered details make it safe for play by all ages 0+ and is machine washable for easy cleaning!  We love the GUND brand.  They have the cutest dolls, teddy bears, & stuffed animals make perfect gifts for birthdays, baby showers, baptisms, Easter, Valentine’s Day & more!

The fifth items on our baby bests is the iBaby Balm and Baby Lotion from Pipette

We’ve been using this after bath time lately and the baby balm is super nourishing and hydrating with plant-derived ingredients to comfort even the most sensitive skin.  The baby lotion is very lightweight and non greasy.  Babies have super delicate skin so I’m always cautious of what I use on Heidi.  Pipette Baby provides deep, gentle moisture for baby’s sensitive spots and replenishes and restores natural balance of baby’s skin.  Pipette is also featured in Good Housekeeping Magazine on page 49.

I hope you loved hearing about what we are LOVING with our new baby and I’d love to hear what you recommend as well.  Nobody helps a new Mom better than another new Mom right?  It takes a village and lots of coffee!!!
