25 Target Baby Products For Your Daily Routine
A Dohm classic natural white noise machine because it's got one job to do, and it's been doing a spectacular job of it helping babies, toddlers, kids, and adults get to sleep since 1962. Promising review: "I started using this sound machine when I first had kids, and I'm never going back! We have one per bedroom for each person and one in our travel bag. Can't sleep without it!" —Indyk63Price: $49.99 An extra-large coiled rope basket to toss toys, clothes, grooming products, or whatever. It's especially helpful for transporting said items that have been scattered around the house back to their room or performing quick cleanups. Promising review: "I'm very impressed with this storage basket. It can be used to hold toys, blankets, clothes, etc. It can hold a good amount of items as well. My hubby wanted to steal the one I bought to replace his hamper. I ended up buying a second. Good buy!" —QueenBPrice: $15+ (available in two colors and three sizes) A 10-pack of Mr. Clean Extra Durable Erasers for dealing with nearly any manner of kid-inflicted stain on your walls, tubs, floors, or wherever they can get to. Bonus: These also work great for cleaning dirty sneakers! Promising review: "I was introduced to this years ago and am now writing a review here. We moved into a previously owned house earlier this year, and the previous owners didn't take care of their walls and their house in general, so there were a lot of stains and marks on the walls. I used these to remove them, and they worked their magic! I love these and highly recommend them for daily use. I also use these to scrub our sinks and stoves. Everything looks so shiny and new after using these. Also, I can get away with using one sponge for two bathroom sinks and a kitchen sink, so you don't need to use more than one in one cleaning session." —tthamkruPrice: $14.79 A two-tier wood bookshelf to display all those favorite books that you've read to the kids so many times that you've basically memorized the whole thing and don't even need to look at it. Plus, it holds toys too! Promising review: "I bought this when we moved to a new state to have the ability to put books in my kids' room, but also have them learn to put their books away. We love it. It's very sturdy. Holds about 20–25 books (if you stuff it)!" —MomVPrice: $40 A 7-in-1 high chair that'll grow with your little one as they take their place at the table with a three-point seat recline and different tray options. The seven models included: reclined seat, infant high chair, traditional high chair, dining chair, infant booster, toddler booster modes, youth chair, and siblings review: "Very comfortable and versatile. Easy to clean and store away compared to higher brands. Previously purchased a Lalo high chair, but I see myself using this high chair instead due to its height and sturdiness." —Flowers2024Price: $89.99+ (available in two colors) A six-pack of Reel Paper bamboo paper towels for all of those times you forgot to go to the store for regular paper towels and you're forced to use fast-food napkins and dish towels to blot out and soak up household messes. Promising review: "These exceeded my expectations. They obviously won't be as absorbent or soft as Bounty, but for bamboo, they're amazing! Go look at other bamboo paper towel reviews; you'll quickly realize that these exceed the quality of any others. They're strong, lint-free, and clean well. Yes, they're not that soft, but they're not wiping your butt, so you'll be fine." —Summer WilksPrice: $14.99 (also available in a two-pack) A set of 12 collapsible drawer organizer bins so both parents and kids can easily find their favorite shirt or pair of socks without tearing the whole room apart. Promising review: "The perfect addition to organize my son's dresser. The zipper makes it easy to store away if you're not using them. Very sturdy." —DelanaPrice: $29.99 (originally $59.98, available in five colors) An all-in-one sterilizer and dryer for baby bottles and toddler essentials that'll save so much time (dishwasher) and effort (hand washing) while helping banish 99.9% of bacteria, mold, and yeast from every baba nook and cranny. Promising review: "This sterilizer works great. I have been using it several times daily for the past month, and it is still going strong. Saves me so much time, and has a good carrying capacity." —Erin MPrice: $54.39 (originally $57.99) A spill, mess, and leak-resistant snack spinner food storage container, because little ones demand options when it comes to snacking, and this adds a Russian roulette element for fun. Promising review: "My toddler uses this every single day. He loves it, and I love the variety of snacks I can put in there. I have tried so many other snack containers and this is hands down the BEST." —Mwd07Price: $22.99 (available in five colors) A NutriBullet baby food prep system for making nutritious homemade food for days that can then be easily stored in resealable cups or a silicone freezer tray. Time saver meets money saver! The set includes the motor base and batch bowl to quickly and easily blend meals, storage containers with a date dial to track freshness, and a silicone freezer tray that stores up to 12 ounces of pre-portioned review: "Love how small it is. It's a nice size for my place, that's a 600 square foot home. Makes great smoothies and chai bowls." —Target ReviewerPrice: $51.99 A Shark air purifier featuring a true HEPA filter that captures 99.98% of airborne particles like dust, dander, and allergens in a space up to 500 square feet. Promising review: "Love the auto feature!!! It continuously adjusts to the amount of pollution in the air. It kicks into high gear when I blow out a candle on the other side of my apartment, and even when I use hairspray/aerosol products in my bathroom. It's great to know that all the little things I don't see are being collected out of my home! It's easy to turn that feature off, and you can set it on a timer, but I've read it's more beneficial to leave it running on auto. Air purifiers don't extort as much energy as you'd imagine. It's incredibly easy to check the filter life as well. 10/10 for this air purifier!" —haley aPrice: $149.99 (originally $199.99) A tub of OxiClean because laundry piles up real quick, and failing to pre-treat or soak stained baby clothes means you're going to have to wash them a second (and maybe even third) time. And no parent has time for that. Promising review: "Go-to stain remover! I love OxiClean and love the added bonus of scent! I incorporate this product into my towels, which tend to get stained and smelly after lots of use. This helps get the stains out, and they come out smelling so fresh!" —JemPrice: $9.59 for a three-pound tub (also available in a five-pound tub) A two-pack of baby pacifier clips for all those times, yet another binky falls on the floor or gets lost. The pacifier is one item to which the "five-second rule" does not apply. Promising review: "Love these to prevent losing the binkis! They are super cute, work well, and you can throw them in the washer!" —Mama BearPrice: $6.99 (available in three colors/patterns) A two-pack of spill-proof, dishwasher-safe Munchkin snack catchers to cut down on wasted food and crumbs that spill onto the floor. Promising review: "My 2-year-old loves walking around with his snacks, and this product makes it possible! He often walks around shaking the snack cup, and I never find his snacks lying around the house because the cup contains them." —BebeMama Price: $6.29 (available in two colors) An 18-pack of hangers because clean clothes need a place to hang out in your kid's closet. These are strong enough to hold jackets, too. Promising review: "My go-to for kids' hangers. Affordable, durable, and perfect size for kids clothing. Doesn't stretch the neckline but also keeps clothing on them." —ShaynaPrice: $2.50 (available in two colors) A Frida Baby pacifier medicine dispenser that sends medicine to the side of the baby's inner cheek, bypassing those fussy taste buds and ensuring that the full dose gets down in there. Also, it doubles as a paci! Promising review: "Absolutely love the Fridababy Medi Frida Accu-Dose Pacifier! This little thing has been a total game-changer for us. My son needs daily medication, and giving it to him used to be a struggle, especially frustrating when not all of the medication would make it down. But with this pacifier, it's so easy. He happily sucks on it like any normal paci, and I can slowly push the medicine through without him even noticing. Not a drop comes out of his mouth. It's seriously the only way I'll ever give him medicine now. Frida nailed it with this one — can't recommend it enough to other parents!" —SarahjanePrice: $11.49 An easy-to-clean two-sided playmat to provide a comfy surface for your kid's activities, especially if their bedroom has hardwood floors and no carpet. Promising review: "Great mat. Attractive. Cushioned. Great for sitting on while playing and prevents bumps and bruises for kids learning to walk. Dog and cat claws don't rip it. Can be vacuumed." —kc9Price: $179.99 A time- and life-saving/changing Baby Brezza Formula Pro Mini for mixing and warming consistently perfect formula-based ba-bas in a matter of mere seconds. The Baby Brezza has been one of my best investments for year one (and beyond) in Babyland. Late-night feeds no longer become about fumbling, spilling, mixing, warming, and minutes later delivering a so-so bottle to a crying child. No, in seconds, a measured and warm concoction is in hand and then in the baby's mouth. Just add water to the tank and formula to the dispenser and serve bottles ranging between 2–10 ounces warmed to three different temperatures. The time, effort, and stress this wonderful machine has saved me from is emotionally immeasurable and worth the price tag. It even forces you to clean it after every four uses because that formula gets gunky, and you get lazy. Beyond worth it! Price: $179.99 A magic jar of Aquaphor Baby healing ointment that'll keep any irritated, chafed, or chapped skin in check and restore it to its healthy (and not angry) levels of smoothness. Promising review: "Both of my babies had eczema-like patches of skin. My son, more so than my daughter. I bought this and used it on them often, and it cleared them right up. I also have dry feet. After a shower, I slather this on and put on socks, and in the morning, I'm slipping on my carpet, my feet are so soft. I buy the jar because it keeps all of us smooth." —HomeDecorLoverPrice: $19.89 (also available in a smaller size) A rack of painted wooden hooks to hang jackets, hoodies, backpacks, hats, or anything that doesn't exceed 2 pounds of weight on each hook (that means no hanging from these hooks, kiddos). Promising review: "I bought one for my son's room, and it's very sturdy. My toddler rips coats off of it all the time, and it hasn't budged. I love it so much, I bought another one for my daughter's room. I highly recommend!" —PaigePrice: $15 An eight-piece kids' modular play sofa, because why buy a regular chair when you could have one that transforms into a fort, a slide, or whatever configuration your tiny architect wants it to be? Filled with high-density sponge, the covers are easily removable for cleaning. Promising review: "We LOVE our couch! So comfy, easy to clean, and a million ways you can rearrange them for fun! We use these in some form or capacity every day. Highly recommend." —Singer4lifePrice: $117.99 (originally $349.99, available in two colors) An ultrasonic cool mist humidifier that'll moisturize air for up to 25 hours straight, helping with anything from dry skin to congestion (for babies, toddlers, kids, and adults). Everyone's respiratory system wins! Ideal for rooms up to 250 square review: "Easy to fill, quiet, good mist, and really improved my son's congestion. He is two, and we have been using one from his baby shower for some time and saw no improvement; been using this for about a week and saw a quick change in his cough, congestion, and runny nose." —CmariePrice: $39.99 (available in two colors) A BPA-free Baby Bum Brush because applying diaper cream with one's fingers (while totally fine for parents) often results in stains on fabrics and lots of handwashing. This butt-spackler gets that unenviable job done in the quickest and cleanest way possible. Promising review: "I know it's probably not the best way to describe it, but it's like icing on a cake, lol. It glides so smoothly like butter and best of all you don't get your fingers dirty. Also love that it stands on its own so it's not lying around somewhere lost." —Bad candlePrice: $5.99+ (available in two sizes and colors) A 12-pack of micro-steam sanitizing bags so you can thoroughly disinfect bottles or breastfeeding equipment by eliminating 99.9% of the most common bacteria and germs. Just add water and pop it in the microwave for as little as 90 seconds. Promising review: "Such a great product for cleaning bottles, breast pump parts, and even nebulizer cups!! Highly recommend this if you use any of those items! Makes cleaning a breeze!" —Happy MommyPrice: $11.29 (also available in a five-pack) A 1,344-count (aka the biggest we could find) of Pampers sensitive baby wipes because even after you're done wiping butts, there's still sticky hands, dirty feet, and we don't even know what that is on their face that still needs cleaning. Promising review: "These baby wipes are great. I no longer have a baby, but I love the fresh, clean feeling after using the bathroom! If they're safe enough to clean a baby's bum, they gotta be able to do the trick for me, too!" —youaskPrice: $46.99 (available in six other pack sizes)

Special debuts and rapid rises: Checking in on Indiana products making moves in pro baseball
The New York Mets drafted former Zionsville right-handed pitcher Nate Dohm with an eye toward unlocking his massive upside. Dohm appeared in just nine games during his junior season at Mississippi State, but his impressive fastball and starter's build caught the eyes of talent evaluators. The 6-4, 210-pound hurler didn't pitch in a game after getting selected 82nd overall in the 2024 MLB draft, but he spent the offseason refining his repertoire and focusing on the finer points of pitching. In January, Dohm was part of the Mets Top Guns pitching development camp in Port St. Lucie, Fla., where he joined 13 of the organization's top arm for more work with Mets coaches. In addition to the hands-on instruction, Dohm used the time to pick the brains of other, more experienced prospects. Dohm's "wing man" during the camp was fellow top prospect Jonah Tong. Dohm said Tong gave him great advice about how to take care of his arm between starts. "The pitching development staff they have here is incredible," Dohm said. "They've helped me a ton refining my pitches and my delivery. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. "I was extremely fortunate to be a part of that camp. I got to learn from some of the best prospects in the org, guys that are probably going to make their (MLB) debut this year. So, that was really cool." Dohm joined Top 100 prospects Brandon Sproat (56th overall, per Baseball America) and Nolan McLean (95th), at the camp. The magnitude of being viewed in the same standing as those prospects isn't lost on Dohm. At the same time, he knows his performance is ultimately what will help him progress through the minors. Last Tuesday, Dohm had the best start of his career playing for the Single-A St. Lucie Mets. Against Daytona, Dohm allowed just one earned run over four innings, striking out seven and walking zero. On the season, Dohm is 1-1, with a 3.52 ERA and 19 strikeouts over 15⅓ innings. "It's just about getting out there and getting out there consistently," Dohm said of his strong start to the season. "We've done a lot of work in the offseason to make sure I have a complete arsenal. I think that's starting to show. "I've been able to mix my pitches and throw off-speed in and out of the zone for strikes and swing-and-miss (pitches) late in counts. Also, little tweaks I've made in my delivery that have helped me with velocity and carry up in the zone with the fastball." Here are other native Hoosiers excelling at all levels of pro baseball. MLB Matt Gorski, Pittsburgh Pirates Former Hamilton Southeastern and IU outfielder Matt Gorski had a storybook MLB debut. Gorki, a Pirates second-round pick in 2019, received the call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis and made his debut Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels. In the first at bat, the righty hit a home run off veteran pitcher Tyler Anderson. Gorski finished the game 1-for-4. He has not appeared in a game since. Gorski spent six years — five seasons — in the minors before making his MLB debut. Across five levels of the minors including his pro debut in the now defunct New York Penn League in 2019, Gorski is batting .246 with 90 home runs and 90 stolen bases. Craig Yoho, Milwaukee Brewers Former Fishers and IU pitcher Craig Yoho had a chance at making the majors out of spring training, but returned to the minors briefly before getting the call. Yoho and his unhittable "airbender" made his debut last Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants. Yoho allowed one run on one hit with one strikeout over one inning in his first appearance. He's made three relief appearances so far, pitching to a 2.45 ERA and three strikeouts over 3⅔ innings. Jacob Hurtubise, Cincinnati Reds The Zionsville native made his first Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder. In nine games, Hurtubise hit .143 with one run scored. Hurtubise hasn't found his groove at the plate yet, but his sweetest wing came during a gender reveal at Great American Ballpark. With his teammates looking on, Hurtubise swung through an underhand toss from his wife, Grace, exploding the ball and revealing pink dust, signaling the former Eagle is having a girl. Four days after the reveal, Hurtubise was sent down to the minors. He's batting .125 in eight games with the Triple-A Louisville Bats. Single-A Khal Stephen, Toronto Blue Jays Stephen was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft. The Seeger grad began his career at Purdue before transferring to Mississippi State. Like his college teammate Nate Dohm, Stephen didn't pitch in a game after being drafted but hit the ground running during his pro debut. Pitching for the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, Stephen is 1-0 with a 1.29 ERA and 25 strikeouts over 21 innings. His best start so far came April 10 against Jupiter. Stephen struck out nine over six innings, allowing just one earned run on one hit. Gage Stanifer, Toronto Blue Jays Former Westfield pitcher Gage Stanifer was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 19th round of the 2022 MLB draft. Stanifer chose to sign with the organization and forgo a commitment to Cincinnati. His path toward minor league success has been gradual. He struggled during his pro debut, pitching to a 6.33 ERA over 11 games in the Florida Complex League. Stanifer got the bump to Single-A last season and pitched to a near identical 6.34 ERA over 19 games. Progression in the minors — especially for pitching prospects — is not linear. It's impossible to know what a pitcher is working on or tinkering with during minor league starts. Whatever changes Stanifer is making seem to be working. Repeating Single-A, through four games, Stanifer is 4-0, pitching to a minuscule 0.56 ERA and 21 strikeouts over 16 innings. He's allowed just one run in four appearances. In his last start Friday against the Tampa Tarpons, Stanifer did not allow a walk for the first time all season, throwing four scoreless innings of three-hit ball.
