Vulli Sophie the Giraffe Teether, Brown/ White

I've written about Sophie the Teether before but I feel like I want to put her back in the spotlight because so many parents love her. It's always interesting to see what will catch on. She is made of soft 100% natural rubber and food paint and is free of phthalates and BPA chemicals. There are so many ways for your little one to grab on to Sophie and soothe his sore gums. The contrasting colors will keep your baby interested too. I guess it's easy to see why so many parents rely on her to comfort their little one.

It's amazing how much stuff one little baby can require. That's why you can't underestimate the importance of efficient practical storage.

It's roomy enough to hold diapers, wipes, clothes, toys, or anything else you can think of. The design is neutral so as your baby grows you can adapt it to hold other items, like crayons and coloring books or dolls and action figures.

The Teethifier - The Advanced Back Teeth Teether

Did you ever notice that most teethers have a very limited design? There's room for a little fist to cling on and a small space for a few front teeth. That's great for the front teeth, but what about those later months when the really big back teeth come in, bringing really big pain with them? You need to give your baby a way to soothe himself for his sake and your sanity. The Advanced Back Teeth Teether will help your little one reach those back areas that might be hard to reach with traditional teethers. It's also a great alternative to topical medications that might be bitter and distasteful for your baby.

The First Year's Infant To Toddler Tub with Sling

Bath time can be a tough time for a new parent. Babies are so dependent when they are born and the bathroom can be a dangerous place if you are not careful. Don't worry, this tub has a few features that can give a nervous parent a little help. The drain plug alerts parents if water is too hot and there is a sling and foam padding to provide extra support. These features are great, but it is important to always remain at your baby's side when he is in the tub. Once you get the routine down, it can actually be a fun bonding experience for you and your little one.
