Humble-bee diaper bags –  https://humble-bee.com/

No Baby Guide would be complete without an amazing diaper bag to give away. That is exactly what we found in Humble Bee. Not only are they an awesome bag for new parents who need to haul around what feels like half the nursery, but they are also fabulous “grow with them” bags, as your babies turn to toddlers and beyond, and you need a bag that carries sippy cups/water bottles, snacks, sunscreen and the like. Humble Bee really strives to keep you and your little ones moving in style, AND, with the ease each parent hopes to find in the ultimate diaper bag. Each bag is made from washable/wipeable/water repellent fabric, features reflective accents, vegan leather zippers, a full changing station (pad, wipes holder), includes a hot/cold pack for food storage, an insulated compartment in a portion of the bag, stroller attachments, and plenty of storage for everything you will think you have forgotten when you walked out the door.

Giveaway: Humble-Bee’s Boundless Charm, a versatile backpack, valued at $90.

Milk Stork – https://www.milkstork.com/

Speaking of on-the-go-Moms…if you are a new Mom (once, twice, three times, Lady!) who is breastfeeding her little one, and are heading back to work with travel involved, Milk Stork has the answers to all of your prayers for not just saving your liquid gold, but also shipping it back to your precious new eater while you are away so they stay well-fed. Milk Stork is the first and only breast milk delivery service for business traveling moms, providing no-fuss, refrigerated, overnight shipping of your milk to your baby back home. So, while they may not have found a way yet to increase maternity leave, at least if you are a breastfeeding mom, you can return to the workforce knowing that your choice to breastfeed your child will be, according to Kate,  “a little bit easier so that moms can nourish their babies and their careers.”

BlueSmart mia – https://bluesmartmia.com

For those of us who remember monitoring their newborn’s feeding/bottle intake via pen and paper, we have moved into the 22nd century! Some awesome techie parents got together one day, after a consensus of them realized (after the arrival of their first child and a business trip), that they were constantly “checking in” on the caregiver to be sure the baby was eating enough and on time. They put their heads together and came up with this simple, yet powerful game changer: BlueSmart mia. It’s a silicon sleeve you place on the bottom of most standard bottles that will help you track and analyze how much, and when, your child is eating while you are away from them, whether across the street or across the country.

Giveaway: Baby Smart feeding monitor, valued at $99

Mitz Kids – https://www.mitzkids.com

Further discussions with other parents in New York City led Liepmann down the path of co-creating Mitz Kids with business partner Austin Jenkins. 

The Must Love Dinosaurs t-shirt from Mitz Accessories is available in sizes for infants, toddlers and kids. The t-shirt features black felt spikes that go down the back of the garment! The spikes comfortably fold over when applied with pressure and are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

Snuggle me – https://snugglemeorganic.com/

The Snuggle Me brand was founded in 2007 after I had twin boys. I struggled to meet the needs of both babies who never seemed to be content anywhere but in my arms. I confided in my mother-in-law and together, we designed and patented a lounger that would hug baby. This much needed support item could be easily toted around the house and was incredibly effective at calming baby. We called it a sensory lounger because of how it created a physical sensation for baby and was more than just another place to lay baby down, it snuggled them.

Giveaway: Snuggle me, organic patented sensory lounger, valued at $140.
