With an overwhelming number of baby products flooding the market (and your email inbox) it has been difficult to decipher the best among the rest. Here are five personal favorites that have been serving our family well. Bonus, most of these gems serve adults well too!
Cool Mist Humidifier
: we love our crane tear drop, but others would certainly work well. You want to be sure that the mist is "cool" to prevent hot water from accidentally scalding baby.

: a natural decongestant, just a few drops in the water well of the humidifier keeps the sinuses clear and the bedroom smelling fresh. This small bottle of eucalyptus oil has single handedly helped Behr and I sleep through the night during heavy cold and allergy season. We notice a marked difference on nights we forget to run the humidifier.

: this miracle ointment clears up everything! Baby acne, gone. Dry itchy skin, healed. I keep this stuff everywhere and use it all the time. It is safe enough for a newborn and helps me too!

: when I first saw these, I thought it was a bit excessive. However then I questioned whether I would be willing to use butt wipes on my baby's face. Although I use good wipes 
for Behr's bum, These saline boogie wipes
are a bit more gentle for getting the inevitable grime off Behr's face. They have proven to be quite useful.

: I quickly learned that not all baby crying can be easily soothed. While Behr generally has a calm demeanor, when he gets into a crying fit {forhead vein bulging, face redding, tears rolling} there is very little to pull him out of it. Mommy's Bliss does just the trick. The organic fennel and ginger drops calm Behr's stomach and snap him out of crying just long enough that a soothing technique may work.
