You need burp clothes, it is a fact of life. As it is, spit up and drool not the cutest and most glamorous part of parenthood but I made the mistake of going super practical and using plain white rags. Now looking back at pictures of the special bonding moments of me burping my baby, I realized that it looks like I am using old dish rags!! It's always from enjoyable to make every part of parenthood as bright and cute as possible! Yes, even the barfy parts =) Baby JaR Burpies are $25 for a set of 2 and $35 for 3. Get the coordinating Baby JaR Reversible Bibs, $28 each. Monogramming available for $6.

Bibs are just bibs right? Well, that's why you got to get creative with them and make sure they stand out because they are important pieces of equipment in our hectic lives! And these Bella Tunno bibs aren't really just bibs, they are better than your average because not only do they look good, they are laminated which means easy clean up, no leak through and stays stain free. Mess be gone! Or at least contained. They have an adjustable velcro closure in the back of the neck and are for solid food tots - the lamination is kind of a bummer when it comes to milk!! They're nice and big at 9" in width by16" in length. Tons of designs, like the Bella Tunno Wild Child, Bella Tunno Dots and Stripes or Bella Tunno Ivy Leaguer. At Amazon for $18 each.

We all love cake but I think there are some new moms who would appreciate not having cake brought over for a while.  Although I loved (and devoured) the Sprinkles cupcakes my sister got for my second daughter's baby shower, now looking at my rear and gut, this might have been a better option!  These amazingly beautiful cakes from Babycakes of Scottsdale are in fact new born essentials make into a cake!  The 2 Tier Girls Set is $350 and includes 1 Blanket, 12 Onesies, 6 Wash Cloths, 2 Sleepers, 12 Receiving Blankets, 1 Skull Cap and 6 Burp Cloths.  There is of course a boy set as well.  If you have someone REALLY special to shop for, the 3-Tier Girl Set  has 1 Sun Hat, 1 Cuddle Blanket, 3 Sleepers, 12 Onesies, 2 Dresses, 6 Wash Cloths, 2 Skull Caps, 6 Burp Cloths, 3 Pairs of Socks, 2 Pacifiers, 1 Pair of Booties and 12 Receiving Blankets for $415.  I know what you're thinking, you are going to try to make this for your best friend or sister, right?  I think it is money well spent to just get the actual piece of art and spend your time fighting with those who want to take over the throwing of the shower with too many opinions.  You know what I'm talking about.

Does your tot make messes so big no bib is big enough to cover them? I am tired of marker and fruit stains, it hurts me to throw out perfectly good clothes because of them but I cannot let my girls go around looking dirty! And now my 1 1/2 year old insists on eating everything on her own even when we are at a restaurant with no bath readily available for the aftermath cleanup. I have giant bibs but nothing like these overall coveralls that go all the way down the leg. Awesome! They are machine washable, 100% cotton coated with PUL (not vinyl), mildew and stain resistant and of course waterproof. At Chic Tots for $19.95 - $29.95, they are on sale, price depends on styles.
