A bestselling Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Musical Toy with catchy, classical melodies
Promising review: “The best baby distractor EVER! Every person with a child must have this toy! I had about 5 tucked in various places in case one got lost. My son loved them from basically birth and sometimes it would distract him for hours of non-crying! (heaven for a new mother) Of course in the beginning you have to keep pushing the button for them but compared to swinging him in his car seat that was easy! Then we he got older he would spend entire car ides just playing with this one toy. I give it to everyone I know who has a baby.” —NH-Mommy

Promising review: “Great skill-building utensil. My baby loves gnawing on these for teething just as much as he loves eating with them! I love that you can load the spoon and hand it to baby to feed themselves. My little one just turned 6 months and uses these spoons with wild success. A must have for BLW or feeding, in general.” —Christopher

Promising review: “MUST-HAVE FOR TEETHING BABY. We have tried so many teethers, and none of them gave my little guy relief, and he had trouble holding, etc. He loves to chew on his hand, so this is perfect as it has grips in the middle under the mushroom. He chews on it for teething and uses it as a pacifier. LOVE THESE!! I already ordered two more. 🤣” —Mark

Promising review: “This safety product is a must have for mommas (and dads) everywhere. For active babies, having the peace of mind that if they do slip and smash their little faces into the faucet they won’t need a trip to the emergency room. What more could a parent ask for?

And a sterilizer and dryer that does all the heavy lifting of sanitizing and drying a TON of bottles, pacifiers, and pump parts
Promising review: “I don’t know how I functioned without it. I can honestly say that this was the best purchase I made all year. This thing is amazing. It is sturdy but has a sleek, modern appearance that compliments the kitchen. I had no idea how necessary this was, I was initially boiling bottles to sterilize them. This unit practically does everything for you. It steams, dries and acts as a storage for bottles. I also use it for toys and my lo’s pacifier. Don’t hesitate to purchase this. It’s a must-have, especially for new moms who may not be sure if you need one.” —charmed angel

A pack of brightly colored stacking cups guaranteed to become any baby’s fave open-ended toy
Promising review: “I got these when my son was 7 months, and he is 11.5 months now. He immediately liked them and has not gotten tired of them yet. He hasn’t learned to stack them, but he loves to push them over after I stack them, and he also puts them into each other. Once he’s older he can stack them, and we can use them to learn colors and numbers. It’s wild that a $4 ‘toy’ that is so simple can be such a great all-purpose item for a baby that grows with them over time, all while being unbreakable and educational. This is a MUST-HAVE toy that every baby should have in their toy collection.” —IShop2Much
