These Baby Bed Blocks from Space Babies could really have helped me survive some sleepless nights with our newborns. Intended to help babies breathe while sleeping when they have a cold or earache, I would have used them to help relieve the pain of acid reflux. Both of my children suffered from reflux. My first had it worse than the second. After the midnight feedings, my husband or I would have to rock or hold our children at an incline for at least 15 minutes to lessen the likelihood of reflux. While it may not sound like a long time, in the middle of the night it is an eternity. We tried a wedge pillow, but somehow both kids always ended up off of it. We tried placing towels under one side of the mattress, but that didn’t work well either. The Baby Bed Blocks sets the entire crib at an incline (maximum height four inches), so no matter where the baby is her head is always elevated. However, once your little ones really start moving, you may not be able to use these. It could have a reverse effect if your kids feet move to the up side of the incline. If these don't end up working for you, you end up with six stacking toy blocks. Available at BabyGuru.

Of course, you Mom Snobs know the greatness of Hermes, but now your babies can too. Unfortunately, they don’t have a baby Birkin (wouldn't it be cute to have Mommy and Daughter matching bags), but they do have beautiful keepsakes. Their quality and classic style carries over into everything baby. I can’t even tell you where to begin. From bibs to bathrobes, everything is so perfect and precious. Keep your newborn occupied with the sterling silver Hermes Horse rattler ($375). For those first feedings, use the sterling silver fork and spoon ($425). The lambskin booties ($200) are gender neutral in taupe and will assure your baby puts his or her best foot forward. They are just the thing for a religious naming or first appearance. Available at Hermes.

Tea Party Tee Pee - $288

Sofa forts are so yesterday. Now, you don’t have to destroy the living room for your kids’ entertainment. Tee Pee for Me makes handcrafted, heirloom quality tee pees out of high quality drapery fabrics and durable PVC pipe. The finished product stands 5.5 feet tall, 5 feet wide at the base, and weighs only 9 lbs making it extremely portable. Collapse the tee pee to store it in any closet, under a bed, or just throw it in the car to head to grandmas. Even the most high maintenance princess will opt for these tee pees over the fairytale castle. There are 13 fantastic indoor fabrics ranging from Wild West to Tea Party complete with Marabou top. However, if your tee pee is headed outdoors, choose from five outdoor designs made from Sunbrella fabric. For those of you that don’t know about fabulous Sunbrella fabric, it is fade & mildew resistant, offers 98% UV protection, and cleans with a hose and bleach water. The best part is these tee pees come fully assembled. Yippee! I don’t even want to count the hours I have spent trying to decipher directions that look like hieroglyphics when putting together a new toy. And no toy is complete without the proper accessories. Customize your tee pee with a coordinating name plate, play mat, pillow, and tote bag. I know, I know the tote bag sounds a little odd, but it is sized to hold the play mat, pillow, and name plate. So, if you are like me…a little OCD when it comes to organization, this is a great way to keep it all together. Tee Pee for Me is “Made in the USA” from Atlanta, GA. Available at Tee Pee for Me.

With so many candidates throwing their hats in the ring for the 2008 election, who is going to be the next President is anybody’s guess. Every vote will count in the primaries to decide the Democratic nominee. Since our boisterous tots can’t vote yet, their shirts can talk for them. Let your little campaigner endorse Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or Rev. Al Sharpton on a shirt from American Apparel. The blue, one color designs have a radically retro look. Available at Babesta for $20.

My friend Terry (new mother of twins!) gave the "I See Me" personalized book to my son when he was born and it has become one of my favorite gifts for other new mommies. The concept is totally brilliant, you input the baby's name and they coordinate each page with every letter in the name. Each letter is assigned an animal with a rhyme and the book is custom printed with your child's entire name, way better than another personalized burp cloth right? This is so much more unique. Now that my son's almost three, we are having fun reading each letter together and I think he understands this book was made for him because he calls it "my name book", how cute is that? I can't wait to have a daughter because I love the new fairy tale version for girls, check out the virtual tour to see how cool this is. Each book begins with the baby's birth date making this a very special keepsake. My Very Own Name book may be purchased here for $29.95 (you can also print a dedication message to the baby on the title page).

Journey Diaper Bag

Here is a diaper back worthy enough for the rugged outdoorsman. Indiana Jones is jealous he can’t carry such a cool tote. Scout, the newest line from Petunia Pickle Bottom, is both handsome and functional. The rustic and hardy design surpasses all previous daddy diaper bags such as The Diaper Dude. The bag comes with two interchangeable interior linings: a water-resistant diaper bag lining and a padded laptop lining. A few snaps swap the diaper bag lining for the padded laptop lining, so your husband can be ready to head to the office on a moments notice. The diaper bag lining has several interior pockets for organizing. The exterior bottle pockets snap off and another one can be placed inside the bag. The padded laptop lining also has two interior pockets. Each Scout bag comes with a custom antique wipes case. The antique hardware and debossed logo finish off the look of this dapper bag. Even the most masculine hubby will be ready to hit the trail with the kids. Check for retailers at Petunia Pickle Bottom.
