Best Products to Keep Our Little Ones Safe
September is Baby Safety Month and here at My Sweet Sleeper, we take safety seriously in all aspects of our children's lives. We have compiled a list of products that have been beneficial in our own households as a team and hope you find comfort here like we do!
Choosing a car seat can be overwhelming. And let's be honest - finding the perfect ratio of safety, quality, and cost can feel like a unicorn. That's why we're thankful for Diono's Radian® QXT+ Their car seats are award-winning for safety, comfort, and protection. This car seat has Safe+ Engineering, meaning it has a unique combination of engineering features and testing to the highest safety standards to ensure the safest seat possible. There's also a 2-in-1 anti-rebound panel, so it increases stability when rear-facing and reduces rebound rotation by up to 50%. Bonus feature? It's a car seat that grows with your child from infancy to 120 lbs!
Newton Baby's crib mattresses are a crowd favorite here at My Sweet Sleeper. We are all about safety without sacrificing comfort, and these are 100% breathable, washable, and comfortable for your baby. The original mattress is 5.5 inches thick and features a soft, quilted removable cover which is convenient for those inevitable blow-outs or unexpected spit-ups that leak through the sheets. Plus there are no foam, glue, latex, or springs, so your baby will enjoy a cleaner, hypoallergenic sleep and the air circulation keeps baby comfy and safe.
Picking the right baby monitor raises so many questions - one main question for us being How can I make sure my baby is safe when I'm not in the room with them? We highly recommend Motorola Nursery's new HD Motorized Video Baby Camera. It has Smart friendly night vision HD camera with remote pan, tilt, and zoom so you can keep an eye on your baby no matter where you are. Enjoy new levels of clarity with the high definition 720p 5” portable color monitor, and with two noise level indicator bars and more. Breathe easier knowing you can see your baby sleeping safely.
From assisting with prep cooking to washing the dishes, your little helper will love being a part of the daily household activities - and they can do it more safely - in their HART + LAND Toddler Tower. Featuring an adjustable platform with three different heights to grow with your tot, this exciting wooden learning tool will easily blend into any home’s decor and instantly become a safe family favorite!
Baby Tula's original baby carrier design sets the standard for safety, comfort, and convenience. And we are completely here for it. It's easy to get on, adjust to your perfect fit, and provides an ergonomic, supportive seat for your baby. With support and love with a carrier like this, your little one can soar safely!
We are continually learning about the negative effects of blue light on us as grownups and our kids. If your kiddos are anything like ours, sometimes they reach a point where they need a night light. Our vote goes to Swanwick's Better Nights Anti-Blue LED Night Light. It's a direct plug-in, set-and-forget automatic night light that supports your sleep and reduces your exposure to blue light, giving your child the comfort of light without negatively affecting their sleep.
It is super important to us to wash our kiddos with products that are safe and gentle. Bubbsi has some great products for our kids that are clean, effective, and eco-friendly. They have no parabens, phthalates, sulfates, mineral oils, or dyes. Plus they are allergy-tested, pediatrician-tested, dermatologist-tested, and non-toxic. Their bottles are the cutest things you have ever seen - and they are refillable so you're also using less waste!
Kids do this great thing where they just don't stop growing, or getting heavier, and harder to lift and carry.. So if you are looking for some good support in carrying your ever-growing child, we recommend MiaMily's Hipster Plus. It offers the most ideal position to promote the healthy development of baby's spine and hip is the “frog-leg position", where baby's legs are spread and parallel to the floor, this allows their thigh bones to rest securely inside the hip socket. Use up until your kiddo is 48lbs and enjoy the extra lumbar support for you in the process.
If you've been around with us here at My Sweet Sleeper, you know that we are big proponents of giving your baby a dark room for all naps, but sometimes you're on the go when naptime strikes and while we might want to just throw a blanket over the car seat, we know safety is wildly important in giving them a good and safe car or walk nap. Snooze Shade Sun and sleep shades block up to 97.5% of UV rays while providing 360-degree protection. Compatible with all Group 0 and Group 0+ car seats with a rigid carry handle, this versatile sun and sleep shade safely protects your baby from the harmful effects of the sun, shuts out light, and blurs distractions, creating a comfortingly dark and cozy space that encourages on-the-go naps.
Who doesn't love a good swaddle that's also safe? Swado's swaddle has a certified hip-healthy design allowing flexion for hips & legs while also keeping baby comfortable. Simply pull and stick it into place with the touch of your hand. No strips, buckles, zippers, or buttons. It adheres by friction making it easy to wrap where you can make effortless adjustments and change a diaper without unwrapping baby. One more perk - it's machine washable!
Having a child instantly changes everything. It redefines what we, as parents, consider safe. And like for us, safety is top priority. Triple Paste is taking the lead from parents who do everything in their power to keep their babies happy and healthy with their incredible diaper cream. It prevents diaper rash, shields baby's bottom, soothes even the most sensitive skin, and treats tough rashes, relieving irritation fast. We are huge fans, almost as big of fans as our little ones!
All MAM products are made from materials free of BPA and BPS, which brings wonderful peace of mind to us mamas here at My Sweet Sleeper. We're fans of their Soft Brush for cleaning baby bottles and their Baby Toothbrush. A huge percentage of our time as moms of little ones goes to cleaning bottles, and MAM's brush is extra soft and extra safe. Their toothbrush has a special feature of an extra-long handle that allows grownups to brush together with our little ones, gently guiding the brush to ensure that all teeth are properly cleaned.
