You’ve just been invited to a baby shower and you want to get the perfect gift for your loved one. After hours of research anda year of real-word use, we have narrowed down the top baby gifts that any mom-to-be shouldn’t live without.Every product listed below receives unanimous positive reviews from moms, dads and babies alike.
Wubbanub Pacifier
A major problem parents face in their baby’s first year is dealing with soothers. Loosing them, dropping them and forgetting them. Having to constantly reinsert the pacifier into baby’s mouth after it is spit out can get very annoying. The WubbaNub solves most of these problems by combining a plush toy that rests on baby’s chest with the top rated (and hospital recommended) Soothie pacifier. Cleaning the toy can be a little tricky because the pacifier does not detach from the plush toy. Wubbanub suggests throwing it in the washing machine which works just fine. 62 parents rate this an average of 4.6/5 stars on Amazon.
Under the Nile Organic Baby Gowns
These sleeper gowns have soft elastic at bottom to keep baby warm and make changes VERY easy. Parents rate this an average of 5/5 stars on Amazon.
BabyBjorn Babbysitter Balance Air
Setting a baby down in a safe and portable spot while mom rests, showers or cooks dinner is an absolute life saver. This particular bouncer adjusts to three different angles and folds flat for storage and transport. Though it is quite pricey, the sleek design will fit into most decors. 29parents rate this an average of 4.8/5 stars on Amazon.
Hanna Anderson Night Night Baby Sleeper Pajamas
I love sleepers that are easy to get on and off my child. These deluxe pyjamas look great, feel amazing and are super practical. 101 parents give these sleepers a 5/5 rating.
Lamaze Chime Garden
This is one of the best baby toys out there. It entertains babies (and adults for that matter) with lights, pleasing sounds, and multiple textures to grasp. It does require batteries that need to be replaced about every 3 months. 47 parents rate this an average of 4.7/5 stars on Amazon.
Tiny Love Super Deluxe Lights and Music Gymini Activity Gym
This play mat is ideal for keeping baby occupied on the floor or in the crib. In the event of a spit-up, simply wash the removable mat. 807 parents rate this an average of 4.7/5 stars on Amazon.
Sofie the Giraffe
The best selling teething toy of all time for a reason. Its proportions and rubber texture are just what babies want when they are cutting teeth. I currently have a giraffe that is two years old now and the spots are just starting to fade a bit. Otherwise, it is in great shape and my second baby loves it. 1547 parents have rated this teether at 5/5 stars on Amazon.
Robeez shoes
These shoes are easy to get on and off, look super cute, and are ideal for early walkers. Robeez shoes are soft, grippy, and most importantly, don’t fall off every ten minutes. My personal favourites are the Sesame Street and Star Wars collections.
Burt’s Bees Baby Bee Gift Basket
You would be absolutely amazed by the amount of harmful toxins found in common baby products (check outwww.ewg.org/skindeep to find out more). Burt’s Bees products are very safe, effective and don’t contain noxious perfumes.
Phil & Ted’s Lobster High Chair
This is the top rated portable high chair and has proven invaluable when visiting other people’s homes, eating out, and camping. The Lobster’s tray reduces mess and ensures the baby is eating off of a clean surface. Whenever we bring the Lobster to a restaurant, we have parents and grandparents approaching us asking where to get one for themselves.
