• The Babble Review: Sloppy Baby Is Quite Neat

• Monkey Tree Mobile Makes A Great Gift

  One of the best baby shower gifts we ever got  was a mobile for the nursery. Not the Fisher Price, make noise for the baby kind, but a beautiful one that hangs off the ceiling above the crib. We've written about mobiles from Flensted before, but my favorite is the one pictured above. Read More...

• Swankie Blankie Hooded Towels for Boys and Girls

  From bibs to shopping-cart covers, Swankie Blankie's handmade-in-Texas collection has expanded quite a bit beyond the handful of layette items founder Susie Grant started by making for friends and family in 2000. Unfortunately for us, these hooded towels aren't among the items the company sells in grown-up sizes, but your wee ones will enjoy snuggling up in them while you dive into one of Swankie Blankie's adult robes or super-soft throw blankets. Sized for newborns through preschoolers, the Camo and Pink Swirl hooded towels are $38 each at Dimples & Dandelions.

• Tasteless and Tasty: Fetal Bites Cookie Cutter

  What's a baby shower without a tray of delicious fetus-shaped cookies? A lot less disturbing, I would imagine. $10 from Hogmalion.

• New Parent Pillowcases Show Who’s on Night Duty

  Signs, signs, everywhere are signs — even on the Pillowcases for New Parents. “On duty” and “off duty” are embroidered on each side of the pillow, so a simple flip indicates whose turn it is to tend to the new baby.

• In the Nursery: Babylicious is so "Licious"

  The new Babylicious website is so beautiful that you are immediately coaxed into the land of “icious” from the moment you see the homepage. All words that end in “icious” are very, very good words. “Droolicious”, being just one of those words. In any case, follow me into this delicious world… Read More...

• Fisher-Price has Come a Long Way, Baby!

  Babble has reviewed the Fisher-Price Zen Collection in the past, but I had the opportunity to see the Zen Collection Infant Seat in action and I have to sing it's praises! This is a beautiful infant seat with all the bells and whistles we expect from Fisher-Price. It plays ten songs (so Mommy doesn't go loony singing the same one over and over) and the seat is extra deep so baby is cradled in zen-like comfort. Now, let's talk about the way it looks.

• Liv + Co's Stylish and Smart Diaper Bags

  My first diaper bag looked like a diaper bag. It was a nice diaper bag but it was a diaper bag. And I was a proud mommy thrilled to be carrying a diaper bag everywhere I went. I’m still a proud mommy but I miss the days of carrying a stylish handbag. I miss leaving the house without my darling daughter. I miss reading books… okay, I digress. Read More...

• Big Deal: Six Months of Free Diapers from Amazon.com

  I realize that "Six Months of Free Diapers" sounds like one of those "One Year of Free Gas!" come-ons from a car dealership, but this one is legit. Right now, if you put up a baby shower registry list on Amazon, and you, your friends or family spend at least $750, you'll get six months worth of Seventh Generation Diapers. Read More...

• A Plush Grill Set for Baby Grill Masters

  Before you have kids you think the weird toys will be the ones that don't look like anything in particular - the toys that just rattle, have a lot of black and white stripes and seem to have the sole purpose of being put in a baby's mouth. But as it turns out, the truly strange baby toys are the things that are supposed to be things in your life that you never thought someone would make into a toy. Case in point - My First Grill Baby Activity Toy from Russgril. Read More...

• Jessica Alba Gives Tastybaby

  Mom-to-be Jessica Alba had a baby shower last weekend, and as a party favor to the guests she gave out goodie bags from Tastybaby. I'm not sure exactly why most shower guests would want or need a blue "eco-tote" bag full of organic baby food and recipes, but I'm guessing it didn't cost Jessica Alba much anyway. [UPDATE: According to a rep from Tastybaby, the bags contained a bottle of champagne and the "Life's A Peach" baby food - the makings for the Bellini's that were served at the shower. Baby food and booze? Now you're speaking my language. -mdd] Read More...

• Jessica Alba Baby Shower "Gifts"

  If you haven't heard yet (and if you haven't, then you really should be reading FameCrawler more often), Tyra Banks just threw Jessica Alba a baby shower on her television show (because really, if there's one person who needs free kids stuff, it's the Fantastic Four's Invisible Girl). Apparently the Tyra Show got together with MomLogic.com and came up with a list of new products that every new Hollywood mom must have. After the jump I'll list them (along with some of my own snarky comments). Read More...
