Lovevery
As much as babies sleep, they are also awake for a lot of the day and when they are awake it’s important for them to play so they learn about the world around them. Our son spends SO much time in his Lovevery playgym and he loves it. The play gym comes with a wipeable mat, contrast cards, as well as a number of tangling toys which help in early infant development. We got to see our son find his feet for the first time through kicking at the dangling toys on the playgymas well as gain strength in his arms when grasping for them.
We have since started receiving the stage-based playkits for our son to aid in his development as he gets older. Pictured is parts of the Charmer playkit for 3-4 month olds. All of his favorite toys have come from Lovevery!
TushBaby

I’m not sure about you, but our baby LOVES to be held — like all the time. With the wrist pain and back pain setting in after 4 months, I was in desperate need to find a way to support what our baby needed while also giving my body a break. The TushBaby was exactly what I needed. It’s a hip carrier which gives you access to both of your hands (still one at a time) and bag — so you can still carry around your essentials.
I spent a lot of time deciding which color we wanted and we now have the Tushbaby Hip Carrier in Black and Gold and it’s perfect for both me and my husband to use.

We love our Toki Mat! We keep our portable playmat folded up and stored under our living room table to help save space when we’re not using it for playtime. The mat is super easy to clean and perfectly cushioned. We have the bamboo jersey mat in breeze.
Sleepout
Around 1-2 months old babies start to wake up to the world and can get more easily distracted, especially around nap time. We got Sleepout’s portable blackout curtains as a more cost-effective way to blackout our son’s nursery to help keep our room as dark as possible for sleep while also investing in a product we could use when on the go.
We have the Sleepout portable blackout curtain 2.0. They were super easy to install and we were able to tuck them under the window shades!
