Probably one of the nicest Moses Baskets in the world is sold by a company in Ireland called Boohoo Baby. A Moses basket is a wicker basket with handles. Babies feel safe and secure in these baskets and mom and dad can cart the baby with them around the house.

The luxury Irish Baby Moses basket is called the Izzwotnot basket.  It has real leather handles, an adjustable canopy, and embroidered coverlet and a thick wipable mattress that has a thicklypadded liner.  The wicker is actually beautiful and is a gorgeous dark brown.  This is a very classy looking basket that is almost like a high end purse it is so beautiful.

You can also order a Moses basket stand that his higher than the usual stand.  This is good for mothers who have had a traumatic birth and do not want to bend over too much.  The stand is also collapsible so you can tuck it away out of sight when it is not needed.

You need look no further than Gingerbread Monkeys, which sells one piece aerodynamic looking rockers made by the company Bloom.  These are simple iconic rockers that look like they belong on the set of a Stanley Kubrick movie.

The company calls them loungers and they come in many different colors as well as designer combinations for the seat versus the rocker itself. For instance you can get a black base with a black, orange, blue or red fabric seat.

The best thing is that there is no assembly required. The rocker is a U shape with a dip in it for the seat.  The seat itself comes with a five point padded safety harness and an easy to clean leatherette seat.  The price for this designer rocker is not very cheap. It clocks in at $250.

Sometimes the best baby quilt isn’t something you can buy. Even if you’re not a craft person, you can learn to make a simple quilt, especially as you’re on maternity leave waiting for your bundle of joy to arrive – quilting is a fun, low-impact activity. All you need is a sewing machine and the ability to follow directions.

To start, check out patterns at your local craft store or online at any of the following websites:

All of these are links to beginning patterns, so if you’ve quilted in the past, you might want to look for something more challenging.


Fabric.com Deal of the Day
All of these patterns should tell you exactly how much fabric to purchase and in what colors, though you can feel free to change the colors to fit your baby’s bedroom style. Where should you get your fabric? I recommend Fabric.com, which has affordable fabrics of all colors and designs. If you click on the coupon to the right, you can even view special deals available for this website.

Your child will value his or her baby quilt knowing it was handmade. When he or she is older, it will be a keepsake, not just another blanket.

Bumbo SeatThe more sensory stimulation an infant gets, the better. Unfortunately, if you’re a busy mom, it can be impossible to carry baby around all the time. You can put your infant in a carrier or swing, but this is often time-consuming because of all the straps you need to unhook and rehook to keep baby safe.

The Bumbo Seat is a solution for the mom on the go. This funny-looking foam seat keeps babies up to 22 pounds safe and propped up so they can enjoy the world. Older children can also use them, as long as you keep an eye on them so they don’t tip over.

Now, you can’t leave you baby unattended in this seat, and it is dangerous to use it on high surfaces like counter tops, but if you want your hands free for a minute, this is a great solution! Best of all, the Bumbo Seat is washable and lightweight, so you can clean it when it gets dirty and take it just about anywhere for you. Take it to the park, the beach, or anywhere else and wipe it clean when you’re done.

The Bumbo Seat comes in aqua, pink, lilac, lime green, yellow, and blue. You can also order a tray that hooks onto the Bumbo Seat, so older babies can play with toys or eat snacks, all while your hands are free. Bumbo Seats are only $40 or $50 with a tray, and they’re worth every dime. You can order yours here.
