Beaba Rose Gold Babycook

In case you’ve been living under a rock (or, you know, trapped at home with a newborn), metallics are everywhere this year. But why confine the heavy metals to your décor? The new Rose Gold Babycook from Beaba steam-cooks, blends, and re-heats fruit, veggies, meat and fish from raw to any stage baby or toddler food and is as nice to look at as it is to use—meaning you’ll actually want to leave it out on the counter between meals.

Due date: Spring 2017

Project Nursery Parent + Baby SmartBand

There’s a lot to remember when you first become a mama, and this genius new wearable from Project Nursery makes all of that a lot easier. This stylish smartband keeps track of everything mama + baby in those crazy, sleep-deprived first days, from nursing sessions to baby’s sleep schedule to how much water you’re drinking per day. Mamas wear the SmartBand and sync it with its iOS and Android apps to deliver smartwatch notifications for caller ID, texts, and app notifications, as well providing a streamlined way to log and track important events, like feedings, pumping, and vitamin reminders. There’s even an activity tracker and a customizable reminder and alarm function that delivers encouraging messages throughout the day (because, let’s be real, you know you deserve them). Post-natal stress, you’ve met your match.

Due date: February 2017

Doodle & Co. Pop Pacifier

If you’ve ever “cleaned” a dropped pacifier by swishing it around in your own mouth, those days are officially behind you. This new pacifier from Doodle & Co. pops back into itself when it falls out of baby’s mouth, keeping the nipple clean and safe from any floor nasties. A light push or baby suckle is all it takes to get the pacifier back in working order. (No spit shine necessary.)

Due date: January 2017, pre-order available
