Editor’s Picks: April 2025

Sleep sacks are a must-have for infants and toddlers because it’s not safe for them to sleep with blankets. What do you do once your baby is standing or walking, though? Well, with the ergoPouch sleep suit sacks, they don’t have to transition out of the wearable blankets. This innovative sleep sack uses a four-way zipper configuration to convert seamlessly from a traditional sleep sack to a sleep suit with legs. This convertible design means it also works with strollers with five-point harnesses, so it’s perfect for cool spring mornings.

If you have a little one celebrating a birthday this spring, these are the perfect pajamas for the big day (or for the whole month!). With sizes available for newborns through 2–3 years, this is a great outfit for a first, second, or third birthday. While babies don’t necessarily understand what it means to have a birthday, these jammies are perfect for birthday photos.

As the weather warms up, it’s important to make sure kids stay fed and hydrated. This adorable snackbox and sippy cup set are great for toddlers and preschoolers. The small sippy cup features a silicone straw with a weighted base (so kids can drink from any angle), and the snackbox has a flexible whole fruit section and a leakproof lid. It comes in a variety of fun colors, so kids will feel excited about sipping water and eating snacks.

Toddlers may not be in school like older kids, but it’s good to encourage them to work on educational skills by playing with fun toys. This Ms. Rachel wooden phonics sound puzzle boosts cognitive, motor, and communication skills with multiple ways to play: Sing the ABCs, guess the letter, and play “what else starts with…” We all know that Ms. Rachel is great at making learning fun, so let her inspire your kiddos to learn the alphabet.

The best way for babies to learn to walk is barefoot — but obviously that’s not an option all the time. As the weather warms up and we spend more time at the park or playground, comfy shoes for babies and toddlers are a must. That’s where Stonz shoes come in — with a zero-drop sole, a wide toe box, and a flexible natural rubber outsole, these shoes give babies the comfort and movement they need. The shoes are made with an air-mesh fabric and they’re machine washable. Plus, they come in a variety of adorable colors!

Everyone wants the best for their baby’s bottom, but luxury diapers can be really expensive. Enter bumbum, luxury skincare diapers that won’t break the bank! This spring, revamp your little one’s diaper routine with comfortable diapers that pamper their skin. These diapers retail for about the same price as their non-luxury competitors (Pampers, Huggies, Luvs), but they’re super soft, hypoallergenic, and infused with aloe. Since babies wear diapers basically 24/7, bumbum doesn’t want them to just be a means to an end; diapers are skincare, so their materials and ingredients matter. Of course, bumbum diapers have all the features you’d expect from a luxury diaper — like a secure high waistband, super absorbent core, and dual leak barrier — but it’s the extras that really make these diapers special: a liner infused with soothing aloe, a cloud-like softness, and a price tag that suits everyone.

When you have a newborn, sleep is hard to come by. For many babies, the transition from womb to world is overwhelming, and they feel comforted when they’re wrapped up tightly in a swaddle. This three-pack of swaddles is a great buy for new babies, and they’re loved by parents everywhere. The swaddles are made with soft two-way stretch fabric and use non-scratch hook-and-loop fasteners to keep babies snug and cozy.

It can be so fun to get outside with your toddler when the weather is nice. But while they often start out wanting to walk and play, it’s usually not long before they turn to you and demand, “Up!” Carrying a toddler isn’t the easiest, though, so a lightweight, over-the-shoulder toddler carrier might be just what you need. Suitable for kids from 9 months to 4 years, this simple carrier provides the support you need to let you easily scoop up your little one. Whether you’re grilling in the backyard, walking around your favorite park, or hitting up a local farmer’s market, this toddler carrier will make life so much easier.

While spending time outside is really fun for toddlers, younger babies can’t spend as much time in the sun. If you’re looking for something to keep your infant entertained while you post up in the shade, look no further than this adorable The Very Hungry Caterpillar sensory blanket. With fabric ribbons, crinkle tabs, a squeaker, a rattle, and a teether, there are so many ways for babies to interact with the blanket. It also has a travel clip to keep it attached to strollers or car seats.

Warmer weather brings a renewed focus on wellness for many people. We’re getting more fresh air, being more active, drinking more water — so it’s the perfect time to refresh your nutrition as well. If you’re trying to conceive (TTC), pregnant, or postpartum, taking prenatal vitamins is a great way to make sure there are no gaps in your nutrient intake. FullWell’s Women’s Prenatal Essentials covers all your vitamin, mineral, and omega-3 essential fatty acid needs. Formulated by a registered dietitian and recommended by OB-GYNs, these supplements support mom and baby from conception through the fourth trimester.

Can you tell we’re really focused on sleep this spring? Love to Dream, the brand known for its innovative arms-up swaddles, just launched a Sleep Machine, which also works toward its goal of helping babies sleep more soundly. The heart-shaped machine has nine soothing sounds, a night light, a timer function, cry detection, a personalized record function, and a Bluetooth connection. Plus, it’s perfect for travel because it’s small and has a convenient strap.
