11 Sleep Products For Baby
Sometimes a few little (baby) sleep accessories can go a long way.
Cribs, bassinets, and mattresses aside: when it comes to sleep, babies find comfort in different ways. Some prefer sound, and others prefer humidity, but the common thread is that every baby is different. To figure out what's best for your little one, there's a bit of trial and error—and maybe some sleepless nights on your end.
While you try new and old remedies, here some suggestions—including tools to monitor your baby's sleep to gauge what's working (and what isn't).
Sound Machine
Adults, kids and babies often use white noise to fall asleep. This one clips to strollers and can be used at home, too.
Baby Monitors
Keeping an eye on baby has never been easier. Watch them sleep (and wake) from another room with enhanced visual and audio technologies.
Humidifier
Some like it hot. Not babies. They, do, however, need moisture.
Blankets
Some people hold onto their blankets forever (yes, into adulthood). Picking one that will stand the test of time (or at least toddlerhood) is important.
Pacifiers
Calm down a fussy baby and/or help them fall asleep with these accessories.
Swaddle
Designed to keep babies snug in an environment that replicates the womb, and helps them sleep better.
Fitted Sheet
Just like an adult-sized bed, baby is going to need a few fitted sheets for that adorable crib.
