Not only do I love products... I love baby products. And these days, it seems as though new and exciting designs are being introduced all the time.

Here are some recent finds that have caught my eye...

Crib Bedding Collection

Skip Hop has now entered into the nursery with its fashionable bedding for baby… and we like it! Choose from two different designs that are both modern and functional - Mod Dot or Vine Floral. You can even go all out and match your crib set (which has a 385 thread count) with coordinating accessories such as a decorative pillow, a lamp, or a wall organizer.

Baby Food

Fresh, delicious, organic food for baby. While their store front opened in October, the online store just recently launched, so now they’re able to ship across the U.S. (in environmentally-friendly insulated packaging - we love that!). The menu changes with the seasons, so you know it’s fresh. No preservatives, no fillers, no chemicals – just natural, organic goodness. Even our 2 ½ Cradle tester liked it!

Bellybar Chews

Since I’m pregnant and a vegetarian, I’m excited about these new chews from NutraBella, the makers of those tasty snack bars. Available in two flavors, Citrus on Board (my personal favorite) and Chocolate Cuddles, not only are they vegetarian, but they are chock full of calcium and more importantly, Omega-3 DHA (those important building blocks for baby’s brain, eye, and nervous system development). Pass the chews, please!
