Stuff. Lots of stuff. That’s what every baby needs. As a new parent, your life becomes about two things: lack of sleep and baby gear—oh, and the boundless joy of your little bundle and all the true blessings that come with being a mommy or daddy. But seriously, folks, you need a lot of stuff to be a parent these days. The good news is that there’s some very cool, fun, functional and even affordable baby gear out there. Read: You don’t have to spend your hard-earned money on things that don’t tickle your fancy. At the full-service online baby-and-beyond boutique What Every Baby Needs, there’s so much to get into—we guarantee you’ll be swapping your shoe obsession for an oh-my-goodness-this-is-the-cutest-(fill in baby item here)-I’ve-ever-seen obsession in no time. Bonus: They have a user-friendly baby and gift registry and super customer service. Here, Dana Citron, owner of the organic and all-natural one-stop shop, gives us her take on some of the best stuff out there today.
“Since I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I’ve been obsessed with finding the best possible—yet still budget-friendly—baby products for her. To me, “best possible” means stuff that is high-quality, stands up to many washings, is soft and safe for babies, and is easy to use. Who wants something that looks good but will stay in the drawer? I want it all!
Now pregnant with my second, I’m excited to use many of the wonderful organic and eco-friendly newborn options on WhatEveryBabyNeeds.com that weren’t available when I was first looking just three years ago.
My personal favorites come from mom- or parent-owned small businesses where fabulous creations came from necessity. Some include Kicky Pants’ ultra-soft and sustainable bamboo clothing, Green to Grow’s BPA-free bottles and Aden + Anais’ muslin swaddling blankets.
Everything at WhatEveryBabyNeeds.com has been tested and retested by moms and dads (and, most importantly, babies!), and the items always come out on top as favorites.

Here are some of Dana’s favorites that customers consistently come back for:
 |
Kicky Pants Bamboo Basics, $16 to $29.99 “Made from organic bamboo, these ridiculously soft Kicky Pants tops, pants, coveralls, layette gowns and pajamas for newborn to 4T are perfect for every day. We love how each piece can be worn alone or layered for tons of looks across seasons. Once you try them, you’ll understand why moms become fanatical about Kicky Pants!” |
 |
Aden + Anais Swaddling Blankets, $44 for four “We’ve tried more swaddling blankets than I care to think about, and these Aden + Anais Swaddling Blankets are by far the best. The extra-large (47 by 47 inches) size makes it much easier than others to safely and securely swaddle Baby. This four-pack of versatile wraps have also been perfect for so many uses, from blankets and nursing shields to burp cloths and crib sheets and even more—there are so many uses, we’ve lost track! The bonus? Hip prints you’ll love!” |
 |
Piccolo Bambino Organic Kimono Bodysuit, $28 for 2-pack
“These luxuriously soft Piccolo Bambino Organic Kimono Bodysuits are an important staple in any baby’s wardrobe, which is why they are offered as a set of two. The wraparound snap closure makes on and off super easy (no over the head!), and they’re designed to get even better with every washing.”

 |
Green to Grow Bottle Welcome Home Set, $54 “This Green to Grow Bottle Welcome Home Set has everything new parents need to start feeding baby with confidence: two 5-ounce BPA-free bottles, two 10-ounce BPA-free bottles, extra nipples and a super-soft organic cotton burp cloth. When you’re first starting out, it can be hard to know how many bottles you need—this set takes the guesswork out of it for you!” |
 |
Baberoo Organic My First Clog Socks, $14.99 for set of 4 “They have to wear socks, so why not do it with style? Super popular, these Organic My First Clog Socks come with one set each in blue, green, yellow and red. These socks are sized for 0 to 12 months old and have treads on the feet to help keep Baby from slipping as he starts to become mobile. Second to Baby, these will get the most comments!” |
 |
3 Sprouts Elfie the Elephant Hooded Towel, $33 “Every baby needs a bath, and these 3 Sprouts Elfie the Elephant Hooded Towels add a little fun to the routine. These absorbent 100 percent cotton towels feature super-soft terrycloth on the inside and cotton sateen on the outside. They are also generously sized to be perfect for babies and as they grow to toddlers.” |

What the heck does "Special Section" mean? Well, it means that these businesses paid a small (like, pretty darn small) fee to be included. THE FAMILY GROOVE strives to support mom and pop businesses by giving them a venue for their super cool sites, ideas and products—and, quite honestly, we strive to pay our bills, too. So we've taken seven articles a month (out of 25+) and made them fun and exciting ways to promote the next best thing, much like in the way a publicist would. We believe in the companies we feature. We research, vet, scrutinize, analyze and obsess over every single solitary company that is included in this section to bring you the grooviest of the groovy. We're all in this brave new world together, right? And so we've got to support each other in any and every way we can. We hope you dig our finds as much as we do.
