When my older daughter was born, I received a gift of seven bibs, each one embroidered with a different day of the week. An adorable concept…if only the bibs hadn’t been white. Once she grew and moved on to solid foods, it wasn’t long before those beautiful bibs were permanently stained with mashed peas and peach puree. The “Friday” bib looked more like “Fdy,” while “Sunday” became just plain old “day.” (Easy for a sleep-deprived mom to figure out which bib to wear, but somehow I don’t think that was the point…) That’s why we can appreciate the Day-of-the-Week Bib Set from Petites Frites, a collection that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the touch. Made from an ultra-soft, two-ply cotton blend and colored with baby-friendly dyes, these bibs come in two assortments–rainbow and cornwall–and are awash in a eye-popping palette that will stand up to spit-up, strained peas and everything in between. We’re especially fond of the mood monikers, a different one reserved for each day of the week. We can relate to “Foggy Friday,” and are optimistic for a “Sunday Funday.”

In a Nutshell: Pack a little punch into your baby’s mealtime routine with a variety of bibs that will get you through all those round-the-clock feedings.

Precious newborn skin is one of the joys of being a baby. It smells great, is buttery soft…how can you not just love every minute of snuggling close? I still relish stroking my little one’s cheeks…and she’s nearly 2 1/2! I can see why some moms choose to outfit their babies in clothing that’s made from natural fabrics, so I like to keep an eye out for companies that are dedicated to bringing high-quality to clothing stores. Enter BNature, a line of organic cotton clothing for newborns through age 2 that’s free of dyes, chemicals and other potentially harmful substances. Safety issues aside, this ensemble is ultra soft and beautifully designed in lush hues like wheat, pistachio and green tea (feeling eco-friendly yet?). The fall/winter collection includes all the baby basics, from rompers to bodysuits, as well as separates for older tots. Check out BNature for yourself.

In a Nutshell: Baby clothes that are easy on the eyes and the skin? When you only want the best for your little one (naturally…)
