- Kalencom diaper bag: This maxi tote is a great addition for Moms and Moms-to-be. It includes a changing pad and an insulated bottle carrier. At about $90, it is a little on the pricey side but it is worth it. It is durable, chic, and functional...three things you need in a diaper bag. It can be bought online or found at Precious Cargo, B. Braithwaite, New Baby Products, and Dabber Doo.
- Palmer's mother and baby skin products: Palmer's has been making skin softer for over 100 years. Their cocoa butter formula smells good and feels good on your skin. This is especially good for all the pregnant moms with itchy tummies. Check out their Deluxe Mother and Baby Skincare set which includes massage cream for stretch marks, bottom butter, nursing cream and skin firming lotion and body oil. It retails for $29.95 and can be bought online or at Wal-Mart, Target, K Mart, CVS and similar retailers.
- HyGenie: This is a cool new contraption that uses UV and ozone technology to sanitize a baby pacifier, nipple, or bottle in only seven minutes. Plus, it's portable so you can kill viruses and banish bacteria wherever you are. This is perfect for the mom on the go! Retail: $29.99 online or on Amazon.com.
- My Pacifier.com: These are super cute stocking stuffers and would make great a "Honey, we're pregnant" gift. You can get one with your child's name on it or get one of the designer ones which include "Mute Button" "Fa la la la la" or "My Daddy Rocks" (my personal favorite until my son ditched it at Disney). Best of all, they are only $5 online!
- Hadley Stilwell satin nursing pajamas: These PJs look sexy and are functional for nursing moms. They are machine washable and are made of a stretch fabric...great for lounging. Retail: $67 online.
- SNUG Camisoles: These tank tops are must haves for ALL women. The website says they are one size fits all and guaranteed not to ride up. Frankly, I didn't believe them but it's true! They fit awesome, even over a pregnant belly, and do not ride up. They have just enough stretch in them to smooth out those unwanted bulges and they look great under everything. Plus, they wick sweat away. No more sticky tank tops! Retail: $36 at Bloomingdale's or online.
- Sonny & Reed teething necklace: Two Atlanta Moms started this company when they couldn't find a necklace that was safe for their teething sons. I was skeptical when I first heard about it. I mean, how cute could it be? The answer: Super Cute! Chunky and funky, they are a perfect way to dress up your everyday jeans and t-shirts wardrobe. You would never know that the necklace was safe for kids to bite and pull and generally put in their mouth. Retail: $29.50 online.
- Passion Spice lingerie: I LOVE their tag line: "Being a Mom doesn't mean you have to stop being a woman." Right on! They have affordable, sexy nursing bras, panties, and lingerie. My favorite is the Belle nursing bra which is on sale online for $25. Go for the red! Va va voom!
- Utterly Yours pregnancy pillow: Getting a good night sleep while your pregnant is not easy so when a product comes along to help, I'm all for it. This pillow looks a little strange but it supports both your back and tummy and takes the pressure off the surrounding muscles. It costs from $39.95 to $54.95 depending on size and can be bought on line. Get 20% off by using promotional code: PROMO.
- Tiny Tillia diaper cream: Cute product with a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formula. It has both healing and protective properties. $14 for 4 oz online. Also, check out their Magic cream which is a healing balm for all the bumps and bruises children get (for kids 2 and up).
