First baby food moved out of the jar and into the freezer. Then it went organic. (And organic some more.) Then, gourmet. Now, we've discovered a new service that puts it all together, offering delicious, fresh foods for baby made with in…
When our daughter was born, I did what so many mamas do: I started a baby book. I wanted to capture everything about her, along with the wonderment of being a new mom; I'd lost my own mother to cancer a year earlier, to the date, and I t…
I think one of my biggest surprises as a new mom was that the baby was a lot easier to take care of when she was still in my big, bodacious belly. (Ha.) Well, here's a baby carrier that's the next best thing. [ don't miss a fantastic giv…
My 10 month old is teething. That means he's chomping on virtually everything in our house. (Kind of gross when he chooses the wheels of the stroller.) I found a cool new blankie with attached teething toys, so I'm hopeful he'll start gn…
As much as I love how far bibs have come since my oldest was born 7 years ago, my biggest complaint has always been that they rarely stop food from getting on a kid's collar--which also happens to be the hardest part of their clothes to …

Making homemade baby food may be as easy as 1-2-3 (prep! cook! puree!), but it takes time. And let's be honest, it's not easy to stay excited about pureeing carrots. Again. If you're going to invest some of your precious free moments mak…
Avast, me hearties and shiver me slumbers! This organic pirate bedding is the next best thing to being rocked to sleep in the crow's nest. And even better, you can't get seasick! Those scurvy dogs at The Land of Nod are in cahoots with W…
The thing about bibs is that they are made to get dirty. So I've never really cared much about what they look like. But I just discovered a collection of bibs that blends practical and chic. The stylish baby bibs from Ah Goo Baby come wi…
Bath time in our house is no easy feat. There's a lot of wriggling and crying--from both baby and parents. I think partly it has to do with the fact that our plastic bathtub is not the comfiest of landing spots for little tushies. To rem…
We are so excited to announce the launch of our annual baby shower gift guide , our biggest and best ever, if we do say so ourselves. We've worked so hard, scouring the ends of the internet to track down more than 150 of the most clever,…
Our editor Liz Gumbinner practically skipped out of the 26th Street studios after her taping of the Martha Stewart Show this week. (Okay, she did skip, according to some reports. Just a little.) Please catch Liz on Martha's big baby show…
ust when we thought we might be over Angry Birds, one of our favorite little baby companies goes and makes a brand new, very well-done Angry Birds for babies collection. Happily, the birds all look more happy than anything. Guess they ju…

When I saw this amazing DIY kit at Bundle, it screamed "sibling gift" so loud at me I almost considered having another baby just so my kids would have a reason to make one. Truly, this is one of the coolest ideas I've ever come across. I…
If you're looking for a sweet Valentines gift for a baby too young for chocolate bonbons, here's a totally adorable idea. I've been a fan of Trumpette socks ever since I got a set for my own baby and realized they were the only socks tha…
I admit to using plastic food containers for everything from storing leftovers to housing fresh made baby food. Yes, I cringe every time I put them in the dishwasher and I do find it a pain in the rear to take the extra step of pouring t…
I had my trusty HALO sleepsacks to thank for getting me a few nights of sleep when blankets weren't the safest option for my little roly poly babes. So how cool to hear about a new collaboration between HALO and Pottery Barn Kids that's …
I've seen many a hooded towel in my parenting tenure, but none quite like the new ones from 3 sprouts , which always has a way of ensuring equal rights for all animals when it comes to toddler bathtime. Yep, that's a warthog hooded towel…
My 5-year old son's now security blanket is a handmade one we featured here on Cool Mom Picks awhile back. Cool how that happens. So when I saw these beautiful baby blankets at Dandelion Baby, I imagined that they could easily become a f…
