I wouldn't say that this mobile is soothing but my son has adored it since he could see moving objects around 3 weeks. I turn it on and he starts kicking his little legs with excitement. The music runs for about 15 minutes. I found it to be a life saver because I could put him in his crib with the mobile on and know he would be safe and entertained if I needed to do something.

When a stroller won't do, the ergo is great. Other carriers get hard to use once your child gets to be around 15 pounds because too much weight is placed on your shoulders. My son is 20 lbs and I still use the ergo a few times a week in the front carry. When he get's bigger I plan to use it in the back carry mode too.

Great simple cotton blanket that's super soft and very versatile

The BOB is a great stroller. It's durable and will glide over anything with ease - uneven pavement, cobblestones, gravel, grass, snow. It tackles stairs with ease and it's great for short jogs. It’s not the best for driving to the mall with it in your trunk (it doesn't fold very small), but if you want to get outside and want something that will go anywhere you want to go with ease, this is it.

You don't want to have to pull anything over a newborn's head. These bodysuits are very soft and button up the front.

It's amazing how much my son loves this giraffe

A great resource for parents -- there are chapters for each age range and a reference section in the back for information on baby health issues.

It's only okay as a feeding pillow, but it's great as a baby positioner. When they're small use it to prop up their head a bit and when their bigger use it to help them sit up.
