Do you need a safe space to place your baby when you need to get a few things done? The Babybjorn bouncer is a safe, ergonomic seat that moves in response to your baby’s movements. The seat molds to the frame of your baby to support the head and neck. You can remove the fabric for cleaning and if you need to store it, it folds flat. When your baby outgrows it, it can be reversed to become a chair.
Chelsey Wang Diaper Creme

If your baby enjoys self soothing with their hands, but you still want them swaddled, this is the right product for you. This zip up swaddle allows your baby to sleep with their arms up, but still be able to self soothe (and not scratch themselves in the process). There is a two way zipper that allows for easy diaper changes without having to remove the whole swaddle. There is extra room around the hip area as well to allow for baby to move their legs freely while still being in a swaddle of sorts.
