Baby Cologne
I know what you're thinking because I thought the same thing many years ago. Baby cologne seems absurd since babies already come with their own wonderful scent, but I received Jafra's Tender Moments baby cologne at a baby shower for my first son and never looked back! The cologne is described as a "gentle fragrance [which] mixes light powdery notes of vanilla and amber" and it's alcohol-free.
To buy: Jafra USA, $19
Send Baby to Dreamland
Music is a great way to get your baby to fall asleep, but make sure you pick something you like, otherwise it'll start to make you a little crazy night after night. The gentle lullabies from around the world found on Putumayo's Dreamland CD may be exactly what you're looking for. ("Arriba del Cielo" is my favorite track!)
To buy: Putumayo, $15
Learn To Swaddle
You learn so many new skills as a mother—make sure swaddling is one of them! Swaddling a baby is an art, and when mastered, can help even the fussiest infant feel secure and calm. The Miracle Blanket is one of the top-rated for swaddling and comes in multiple colors and patterns. The "Blue Circles" pattern is shown here.
To buy: Miracle Blanket, $30
Security Blanket
Many children love to have one special blanket to cuddle. Each child is specific in their likes and dislikes, but this Aden + Anais blanket made of muslin cotton is easy to fall in love with. The "Jungle Jam – Giraffe Dream Blanket" shown here. Available in other colors and patterns.
To buy: Adan + Anais, $28
Cute Camisas
Start your baby out with Spanish basics. "B de Burro, V de Vaca" is a fun saying to differentiate the two similar sounding letters and it looks super cute on this onesie which comes in yellow or red. Got a colicky baby? Maybe the "canta y no llores" ("sing and don't cry") tee would be more fitting!
To buy: Dos Borreguitas, $22
