Ga Ga or Gag
Tights For Boys: Ga Ga or Gag?
Mommies wouldn't balk at the sight of tights in the girls' section but what if she saw them hanging near the boxers and briefs? Ladies enjoy the comfort and warmth they provide so why shouldn't their male counterparts? In the Victorian era, men wore tights regularly just like their lady friends.
American Apparel Maternity: Ga Ga or Gag?
Not all expecting mamas are willing to surrender their closet to A Pea in the Pod. Fashion forward ladies can decorate themselves and their bump with American Apparel's edgy and funky maternity clothes — even if the brand is simply labeling belly friendly clothes already in production as "maternity." Regardless, one mama-to-be's dream may be another's worst nightmare.
Childbirth Education Doll: Ga Ga or Gag?
If the labor and delivery videos shown at your birthing class didn't get the point across, perhaps something a little more hands on is in order? This hand-knit Childbirth Education Doll ($150) is custom made to look like any mom-to-be and comes complete with baby, placenta, and umbilical cord — among other notable features. Can you stomach the graphic details and the steep price tag?
Designer Breast Pads: Ga Ga or Gag?
Nursing bras have become sexier and more stylish through the years, so why shouldn't the items we place in them be better looking? Visit almost any drug or baby store and you are likely to find a display of boxes of white disposable nursing pads or neutral colored washable ones.
Two moms who were tired of the drab-colored pads that sat in their bras thought it was time to add some life to these breastfeeding necessities.
Easy Stroll Ergonomic Stroller Handle: Ga Ga or Gag?
Mamas are always looking for an extra hand to help them on their way. From holding lil hands to carrying shopping bags, moms never seem to have enough hands when they need them most. For moms looking to free up a hand while strolling with their wee ones, the Easy Stroll ($30) is an ergonomic device that attaches directly to pram handlebars to allow for easy, one-handed pushing.
Love Handles: Ga Ga or Gag?
Work it mama! Mothers finding it hard to squeeze in a workout are always looking for a way to get some exercise throughout the day. While jogging strollers help provide aerobic exercise and strengthen leg muscles, they don't do much for the upper-body area.
Lolaloo Stroller Rocker: Ga Ga or Gag
Baby likes to rock, but mama needs to roll? The Lolaloo ($183) is a battery-operated device that attaches directly to a carriage's handlebars to soothe a baby to sleep so mama can be hands-free while her small fry slumbers. Currently only available in Europe, the quiet product can be adjusted to rock at your baby's preferred speed.
BabyPlus Prenatal Education System: Ga Ga or Gag?
If babies begin forming memories at the 30th week of gestation, should we start educating them that early? BabyPlus ($149), a prenatal curriculum made up of 16 sounds that resemble a mother's heartbeat, is said to encourage cognitive development throughout a pregnancy. According to the manufacturer, the educational tool can be started as early as 18 weeks of pregnancy, when it is placed outside the womb.
The Shower Hug: Ga Ga or Gag?
Showers are few and far between for new mothers, but a few minutes under the rushing water can give them a new lease on postpartum life. Warm water can lead to painful letdown so one woman created the Shower Hug ($30), a terry knit wrap with a Velcro closure designed to ease the pain and protect the bustline. The fast-drying material can be wrung out after a shower and hung to dry until the next time mom finds a few minutes for herself.
Safe Stork Flag: Ga Ga or Gag?
Make way for the mama-to-be! One mother who had enough of rude and aggressive drivers on the road created the Safe Stork ($10 for two), a flag designed to attach to a pregnant woman's car windows to alert other drivers about her expectant status. They're oddly reminiscent of the once popular Baby on Board placards, would you put one of these on your vehicle?
