The top 10 mama + baby products you will want to buy this year

Not surprisingly, we spend a lot of time thinking about products for moms. Whether it’s the answer to a fussy feeder or an item that will soothe you, mama, we’re always on the lookout for the latest and greatest in the baby + mama space. Here are the top ten items we can’t wait to bring home from the 2017 JPMA Baby Show.

1. The Nanobebe Breastmilk Bottle

Not only will this savvy little bottle remind you of, ahem, your milk’s source, it’s also designed to preserve breastmilk nutrients essential to your baby’s health. Plus, the unique shape heats and cools quickly (limiting bacteria growth) and makes it even easier for babies to hold and self-feed. Sounds like a little more free time for you, mama!

Pro tip: Use the included breast pump adapter to pump milk directly into the bottle for faster storage with less mess for you to clean.

2. Doddle & Co.’s The Pop Pacifier

Chalk this up to one of those “how did it take so long to think this up?” inventions. The ingenious Pop pacifier from Doddle & Co. automatically closes in on itself every time your baby drops it (AKA, every thirty seconds), protecting the nipple from any unsightly germs that might be lurking on the floor. And it’s made from 100 percent silicone, so there are no lead, PVC, BPA, latex or phthalates to worry about.

Pro tip: It does take a fairly strong suck to keep the nipple from popping back in, so bring this pacifier out once your newborn has mastered the skill.

Not only does this activity center from Skip Hop come with all the bells and whistles your baby needs to promote solo play, it also packs an economical bonus: The design transitions to three different stages to grow with your developing little one. It’s also easy to assemble and comes with a 360-degree rotating seat to put a little more bop in their bounce.

Pro tip: The discovery window lets baby see their feet as they bounce to help them learn the cause and effect of their actions.

Use the smart phone app to customize your Aristotle’s functions, from when the sound machine should turn on to when the nightlight should dim. Get yours summer 2017!
