starting a family isn't anything new,
but lately it seems that tinseltown is teeming
with celebrities having babies.
these new (and expectant) moms are often
in the know on what's new, what's hot, and
what's tried-and-true in the world of
pregnancy and baby products.
(either that, or their stylists have great taste!)
here are some of their recent picks.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Well, Liv, Shiloh,
and Coco must subscribe to this theory because they love to carry bags
just like their mamas. Penelope Peapod makes classic baby dolls that
come in little straw purses that double as bassinets. So, even when they
are on the go, little girls can feel grown up by nurturing a 'baby' of their own.
Celeb fans: Angelina Jolie
Most moms-to-be will tell you that they end up wearing
the same five things throughout their pregnancy because they
just want ease and comfort. Well, Maggie Maternity has taken that
statement seriously by creating the 'Maggie Box,' a set of four basics
(figure tee, trouser, tank, and silhouette skirt) all in a very flattering
black viscose and jersey material. No wonder Angelina is such
a fan - we know she loves her black!
Celeb fans: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner,
Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kelly Ripa
We could not think of a more apropos name for this line
of incredibly soft and comfy cotton wear. Not only is the material
splendid indeed, the colors and patterns are also appealing for
babies and adults alike. And though the price point may be on the
higher side, these pieces will go the distance.

Celeb fans: Kate Hudson, Brooke Shields, Naomi Watts,
Keri Russell, Sheryl Crow, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Patrick Dempsey
Though it may look like a simple piece of cotton, the
Baby K’tan is actually a heavy-duty sling/carrier... it can easily
accommodate twins, and holds up to 42 lbs! Celebrity moms and
dads (including Dr. McDreamy) love the K’tan because it’s great
for an active lifestyle but still keeps baby cozy and close. And we
can’t deny that we love the little matching hat that comes with every one.

As we all know, many props are needed to keep a little
one entertained, and sometimes Mom just doesn’t have enough
room in her bag for all the necessary toys, books, and snacks.
Enter these adorable Dante Beatrix backpacks, which allow little
ones to carry their own weight (so to speak) and enjoy
themselves while doing so. Genius!
