Were your baby sheets thrown out with the bathwater? New moms invest a lot in their first babies. From cribs and swings to strollers and bouncy seats, the price tag for newborn essentials can seem ridiculous.
Castor & Chouca Hop! Bassinet-Trolley: Ga Ga or Gag?
Given the short amount of time that a baby uses most products, it makes sense that some companies design baby gear that also grows with them. Made from eco-friendly bamboo, the Castor & Chouca Hop! Bassinet-Trolley ($415) is a bassinet with plexiglass sides to easily view baby without having to peer over the top.
What's Your Essential Nursery Item?
It all starts with the crib. Be it traditional, modern or eclectic, most moms hope to create a cozy nursery environment that their baby will find calm and comfortable – as well as one that will encourage sleep! When outfitting a nursery many mamas-to-be focus on safety measures, like adding a ceiling fan, and the fun decor items like the bedding, color scheme and wall decor.
