Best for Gassy Babies

If your little one is dealing with some annoying gas pains, relieve their discomfort by using a Windi! It's a safe and easy-to use baby gadget that helps relieve your baby's tummy.
Little claws can grow fast, and the last thing you want to do is hurt your baby while trying to trim their fingernails. This nail trimmer comes with three different cushioned pads, each designed for different stages of your baby's growth.
Tired of shushing your baby to sleep? This baby gadget acts like a sound machine, and it provides 15 or 30 minutes of continuous shushing sounds, making it easy to follow Dr. Harvey Karp's The Happiest Baby on the Block technique. It's so easy to take on the go, too, which makes it perfect for long car rides.
This night-light-and-sound-machine combination is the perfect baby gadget to help keep the entire family on the same sleep schedule. Easily controlled by a phone app, you can set different times for the machine to produce a soft glow for calm dreaming or a gentle sound for sweet waking.
When your teething tot tosses away any teether you offer, give him what he really wants: food! Fill this feeder with his favorite fruit, and watch him go bananas as he chomps away.
Pacifiers help soothe your baby during their early stages of life. However, by the age of 3, extended pacifier use can start to negatively affect your baby's budding teeth. Start the weaning process with the Frida Baby Paci Weaning System.
The five-pacifier system was created with the help of a pediatric dentist. Each paci nipple is shorter than the previous one — so they can be used until your kiddo is totally weaned.
This is an item first-time moms and dads might not know that they need, but any experienced parent will tell you what a lifesaver this SnotSucker is. This baby gadget will safely unclog your little bee's nose so that she can breathe more easily.
This popular baby scale will give you an accurate reading on your baby's weight, even if your little one won't stop wiggling around the entire time. As your baby grows, the scale converts easily to a toddler scale.
If you've ever spread diaper rash ointment onto your baby's bum, you probably still have the remnants of it under your fingernails right now. Keep the crusty fingers at bay with the editor-favorite Baby Bum Brush.

Best Middle-of-the-Night Helper
Baby Brezza Electric One-Step Formula Mixer Pitcher
Midnight feedings are a necessary part of caring for a newborn baby. Stumbling into the dark kitchen and stubbing your toe while sleepily trying to make a bottle doesn't have to be, though!
The Baby Brezza Electric One Step Formula Mixer is the key to easy nighttime meals for your little one. Simply mix your little one's preferred formula with water and press the button. The mixer paddle blends everything — without the yucky clumps — with one push of a button, and it stores up to 28 ounces at a time.
When their diaper stage eventually ends and big-kid undies become the norm, there will be plenty of last-minute pleas for a potty break ... with no bathroom in sight.
If there were a job application for parenting, one of the skills required would be the ability to grow three extra arms to catch all of the bottles and pacifiers your cutie will likely throw across the room, drop on the floor, or fling mid-tantrum.
The Babaste Baby Bottle Holder lets your independent tot feed themselves while the baby gadget stays stationary to prevent bottles from flying around the house.
Lugging around your growing tot can wear your back and biceps out. Make toting around your little one easier with the TushBaby.
Designed to balance the weight of your baby from the newborn stage all the way up to toddlerhood, the TushBaby features four different positions to safely hold your baby at every stage. With seemingly endless pockets, you can enjoy a stroll around the block and leave the diaper bag at home.
This soothing, vibrating mattress pad can be slipped underneath your sleeping (or almost sleeping!) baby to calm her nerves. If she's fussy, it might just take some good vibrations to settle her down.
Bath time is the best time and a wonderful way to relax your baby for restful sleep. Make sure that the water is baby-ready with this cute floating thermometer.
Once you've filled the tub with water, pop in this duckie-shaped baby gadget. It will read the temperature and indicate if the water is too hot or too cold.
This baby gadget might help everyone get better sleep at night. The Owlet monitor sock just slips onto your baby's foot before bed, and if anything gets weird with your little one's heart rate or oxygen levels, you'll hear the sound of an alarm. The camera also gives you a view of your little babe while they sleep.
When your little one is learning how to feed themselves, it can be a fast and furious experience that involves a lot of mess and not a lot of food ending up in their mouth.
This super-flexible, soft-tip training spoon encourages your tot to learn how to feed themselves. Small enough to fit in their tiny hands, your tot will actually start looking forward to mealtime.
When your baby starts eating solids, this all-in-one baby food maker will be an absolute lifesaver. Not only does it steam and cook multiple portions of veggies and meat, but it also purees them to your choice of textures, depending upon how your baby is progressing in their chewing and swallowing.
It should also be noted that the puree and steam function makes amazing cream of potato soup. Just saying.
There's little this bassinet doesn't do. Developed by pediatrician Dr. Harvey Karp, this sleeper is a responsive bassinet that reacts to your baby's motions by rocking and playing soothing sounds. It's completely genius, and if you can swing the price, it's worth every penny.
