Stokke® Care™ Changing Table

Change together. Grow together.

Description: With Stokke® Care™, you can face your child while you’re changing him/her. This makes the job easier and encourages eye contact and interaction between you and your child. The idea behind the unique hour-glass design of Stokke® Care™ is to give the baby freedom of movement without sacrificing safety. Stokke® Care™ allows the baby space to move their arms and legs freely, but it does not allow enough space in the middle to let the baby roll over easily. It is not recommended, however, that you ever leave the baby unattended on the changing table. Stokke® Care™ is height adjustable with two different working levels to fit any size user. With less bending over, you reduce the strain on your back and shoulders, and also have better control of the always active child. Stokke® Care™ will also adjust as your child grows. As your baby grows out of the changing unit, Stokke® Care™ can be converted into a small desk. The desk shape and size is ideal for two children to play games on, paint or draw. Later, Stokke® Care™ can also be used as a bookshelf, CD rack, TV stand or a combination of them all.

BabyPlus Prenatal Education System

Description: Expectant moms do everything they can to create the best start for their growing baby, from prenatal vitamins to playing Mozart. Now moms can truly give their babies a head start with BabyPlus (www.babyplus.com) –the first prenatal education system. The BabyPlus System introduces patterns of sound in the only language a developing baby can understand—the maternal heartbeat. As the baby differentiates the simple rhythmic sounds of BabyPlus from those of the mother’s heartbeat, learning begins! Many parents use music and spoken words to stimulate the growing baby, but music is too complicated for the developing baby to process and the spoken word is muffled. The mother’s heartbeat is the only sound a growing baby can comprehend, making BabyPlus the most developmentally appropriate form of learning in the womb —and the perfect gift for a mom-to-be.

Hot New Baby Product

Anne Heche Loved the Magic Sleepsuit

Description: The Magic Sleepsuit is an innovative baby sleepwear product that was gifted to over 60 celebrity mom and dads at the 2009 Pre-Golden Globe Awards Boom Boom Room Gifting Suite. The Magic Sleepsuit provides babies with a cozy and calming sleep environment and is designed for babies who have become too big for swaddling, yet need that warmth and contained feeling to aide in their sleep. The Magic Sleepsuit is better than a sleep sack because not only does it provide the warmth of a wearable blanket, it also eliminates the need to layer the baby in multiple layers of clothing, helps keep the baby on its back longer (the prefered sleep position by First Candle/SIDS Alliance and American Academy of Pediatrics), and provides fabric weight to help the baby sleep better and longer. Even if the baby sleeps well, it is a wonderful gift to replace loose blankets and provide a cozy and secure sleep environment. It can also be worn in a car seat, which makes for easier travel when you need to transfer a sleeping baby from the car directly to the crib. The Magic Sleepsuit was created by a mom and pediatric physical therapist. The Magic Sleepsuit is available from the company web site www.magicsleepsuit.com and comes in two sizes (small and large) and three colors (pink, blue, and yellow).
