When your baby is learning to walk, it is important that he or she has good ankle support as well as good arch support. These baby shoes are made with a premium leather upper with a high-top design and a rubber sole. Most babies when learning to walk may try to stand on the sides of their feet or decide to stand on their tippy-toes. These shoes will prevent that from happening and will allow your baby to stand on both feet flat on the floor giving stability for them. Your child will be walking in no time at all.

Shoes are important
It is very important that your baby’s first pair of shoes for learning to walk are well made and of good quality. Your little one’s feet are growing as is the rest of his body and you want to get him off to a great start. You want to make sure his feet grow properly and without any restrictions. Also, good ankle support is just as important for development and strength.
Size chart and fitting info
The size charts for a baby’s shoes generally show measurements that allow room for the growth of a baby’s foot. For example, a size 3 for age 6-9 months will be slightly large on your baby’s foot to accommodate growth.
For an older child, when you put the shoe on his foot while standing, there should be between 1/4 and 1/2 inch between the tip of the big toe and the edge of the shoe. Sizing is important as you do not want them too big or too small.
The Good Ole Days
Years ago, there were children’s shoe stores that specialized in fitting young feet with well-made shoes. I remember taking each of my children when they were ready to walk and having them fitted with walking shoes. I really do miss those days. Things are a bit different now, but I am happy to say that you can still get these quality shoes for your baby. They will make great “keepsakes” when your children are grown. Do you still have your baby shoes?
Great gift for the baby in your life
The Baby Deer High Top Leather shoes will make a great gift for your grandbaby if you are a grandparent. If you are a parent, this will be the most important pair of shoes you will ever buy for your baby.

Winter has crept up on us faster than you can imagine. This means that our summer and fall wardrobes were long time put away and we have brought out our winter clothes, shoes and boots. I found these adorable baby UGG boots that will make an awesome gift for any baby in your life. These baby boots are sure to keep your infant’s tiny baby feet warm and cozy.
Do you have a precious new baby in your life? Are you looking for the perfect gift for a little one? These baby UGG boots are an adorable gift for any newborn baby! They come in 6 different colors: Bubblegum, Charcoal, Navy, Ribbon Red, Vanilla and Violet Bloom.
These baby booties will not slip off your little one’s feet when they start to crawl around. Also, the sizes range from 0-1 infant, 2-3 infant and 4-5 infant. They are made with warm sheepskin, plush terry, and soft suede. Very well made with quality materials.
Machine washable booties
A really nice feature about these adorable little booties is that they are machine washable. They have adjustable hook and loop closure for easy on and off.
More size information
The size 0-1 infant will generally fit babies ages newborn to 6 months; the size 2-3 infant will fit a baby 6 to 12 months old; the size 4-5 infant will fit a baby 12 to 18 months old. This is a general assumption, however, these booties run pretty true to size.
Warmest wishes

This is one of the very best thermometers I have seen for public use in a great while. More often than not, I have spent more money on thermometers whether digital or not, that have not proven to be either accurate or last for very long. Much of the time the batteries are already on the last leg by the time I purchase it. This is not the case for this one, you will insert 2 “AAA” batteries and will not have an issue with it. This is a thermometer for babies, kids and adults!
Image source: Amazon.com
Medical grade
This thermometer is a multifunctional infrared thermometer, produced by a qualified medical factory. The product has passed various medical device qualification certifications and has complete functions to meet the temperature measurement requirements of people of all ages. It is suitable for hospitals, companies, supermarkets, schools, families, etc.
4 types of temperature measurement
Adult
Child/baby
Ear
Object
Using this thermometer
This thermometer is very simple to use and yet it does so many things. You click through the options using the button to choose how you want to get temperature and you get a) temp using ear, b) temp using forehead, c) temp of the room you’re in and it is very accurate.

Great baby thermometer and great for the adults too!
Not only is this a reliable and accurate thermometer for babies, but also for grown-ups. If you have people coming over to your house, you can use this to check their temperatures as part of a screen for COVID-19. You simply hold it 1 1/2 to 2 inches (3 to 5 cm) from their forehead and within 1 second you will have a reading. It just doesn’t get any simpler than that.
Similar to hospitals and clinics quality
Nurses have compared this thermometer with the “old-school types” and have found these to be highly accurate and considered to be very similar to hospital-grade quality. It has a memory function so you can keep track of the temperature trend. This thermometer also has a fever alarm on it which will help you in determining if your child has a fever. Some people get confused as to when a temperature is considered elevated.
Other uses
Believe it or not, this thermometer is great for checking the temperature of the formula or milk in your baby’s bottle! You can check the temperature of your little one’s bathwater as well.
Highly recommended
Of all the thermometers I have used as a nurse, I would say this is reasonably priced for the quality it affords. I highly recommend this thermometer for use for you and your family and for all the many benefits it can give you.

If you are looking for a baby bassinet that will self rock, this is the one for you. Not only does it self rock, but it has many features that other baby bassinets do not have.
Unique features
This baby bassinet will rock, vibrate and play soothing sounds if your baby starts to cry. The vibration feature has 2 speeds and the rocking feature has 3 different speeds. There are options for white noise, music and nature sounds.
Control panel
There is a control panel that lights up when your baby is in the bassinet. You can set the controls for how and when you want any of these features to work and you can dim the control panel for nighttime use. When you turn the control panel off, it saves your last setting so when you turn it back on, you are good to go!
(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
Storage
There are 3 small storage pockets on the side of the bassinet below the control panel which can allow for a few diapers or a pacifier. This is not meant to be a changing table, so if you have to change your baby during the night, it’s best to have your changing table handy in your room or prepare the top of your dresser with a changing pad for the middle of the night diaper changes.
Reversible canopy and airy mesh sides
The mesh sides are a great feature as it allows airflow through the sides of the bassinet. The reversible canopy will block the sun to provide shade for your little one.
Easy to move around
The Graco Move ‘n Soothe Bassinet has its wheels located on the front of the bassinet. This will allow you to move it around your home easily.
Comfort for your baby
This baby bassinet has an extra soft mattress that comes with a cover that can be removed easily for washing.
Easy to assemble
It will take you anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes to assemble this bassinet. You only need one screwdriver for one screw. This product has a wall plug that powers the bassinet.
Ratings
This baby bassinet gets a 4.4 out of 5-star rating according to Amazon!
Sensational
I think this is the best baby bassinet on the market so far. I love that it sets in motion rocking, vibrations, and music when it senses baby’s cry. This would have made my life a lot easier when my children were babies! We had no such thing back then. Look at how far we’ve come in the 21st century. It just amazes me!

Why I love this baby walker
This is by far the best baby walker I have found. Quality is so important as you are relying on this to keep your baby safe as well as promote muscle strength in the legs and provide a learning experience as well. This is a very well-built walker which will last you for many years. Also, I want to mention it has a removable and washable seat pad which adds extra comfort for your baby.
(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
The Walky Talky Baby Walker is not only just the safest walker but is also very durable. It has wheels that have brakes that are an added protection for your little one. The wheels move nicely on the floor and even on carpeting. The brake pads will stop the walker if it goes over a step.
Why your baby will love this walker
Your little guy or gal will be able to glide over your kitchen floor or anywhere in your house and maneuver it very easily. He will enjoy pushing the buttons and playing with the animals. All babies love the music too! The activity tray pops off so your baby can play with it on the floor.
Six different languages (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, and Portuguese)
This baby walker speaks and sings in 6 different languages for ABCs, colors, and common phrases. Even the adults will get a kick out of this and who knows, you may pick up some new words yourself!
Height adjustable
There are 3 height positions to accommodate your baby’s growth.
Compact for storage or travel
This walker will fold compactly for when you need to put it away or if you are going to grandma’s house.
Pros outweigh cons
A few minor complaints I have seen about this baby walker are that the volume is low, you need 2 “AA” batteries and you need a small Phillips screwdriver for assembly.
Customer ratings
According to Amazon, customers have given this baby walker 4.3 out of 5 stars!
Overall review
I give this baby walker a 5 stars rating as it has quality, durability, safety, entertainment, developmental, educational, and FUN!!!

If you are a parent or a grandparent who watches your grandbaby, the Motorola Video Baby Monitor is one of the most important pieces of equipment you will ever own. This baby monitor has many features and is what I found to be the best on the market.
(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
Easy to use
This baby monitor is very simple and easy to use. It has a very big screen with a good image and audio. The picture is great for both day and night vision and a really cool feature is that if you purchase a second camera, you can have a split screen which will not affect the audio!
Long battery life
The monitor battery will last all day with the vision on. The monitor will work no matter where you go in the house as it has a very long range – up to 1000 feet. The battery life can be up to 9 1/2 hours.
Room temperature monitoring
This baby monitor even keeps tabs on your baby’s room temperature. You can easily see whether you need to adjust your thermostat or air condition unit for a perfect temperature.
Two-way communication
A really nice feature is two-way communication. If you are in the baby’s room and you’re needing something from another room, you can call to someone else in the house for what you need. It works like a walkie-talkie!
Tilt camera
The portable camera tilts up and down and left to right so you can adjust your view. This also can be done by remote. There is a zoom feature on this monitor too. You can expand this monitor with a total of 4 cameras which you purchase separately if needed.
Lullabies
This baby monitor will play music for your little one and it has the “heartbeat” sound that so many parents use for their newborns. It is soothing to the baby and helps them go to sleep.
High rating
Amazon displays a customer rating of this baby monitor a 4 out of 5 stars!
Additional options for more in-depth monitoring
If your child requires breathing or heart monitoring, the “Owlet Smart Sock” is a great device. I have reviewed this in a prior post and you can click here to view it – Owlet Smart Sock.
The pros outweigh the cons!
The only negative thoughts I could give this monitor is:
It does not come with a mount, but I do not think you would want to mount this on a wall anyway.
The temperature reading may not always be accurate.
All in all
After much research on baby monitors, I found this one to be the best bang for your buck! Also, I am a fan of Motorola as they are known for quality products. I have purchased many Motorola products in my lifetime and have always been satisfied.
I hope you enjoyed this review and found it to be helpful to you in your decision for a baby monitor and I encourage you to purchase yours here!

Have you wondered which high chair would be best for your baby? This is an important choice as you will be using it for quite a while and you want it to be safe, sturdy, and last for the duration of your little one’s needs. Babies grow at such a fast rate and you need to keep that in mind when looking for a high chair.
Graco DuoDiner DLX 6 in 1 High Chair
(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
Graco, a trusted brand
Pictured above is the Graco DuoDiner DLX 6 in 1 High Chair which will convert to a booster seat and then to a youth stool! This will definitely grow with your baby and you will not have to re-purchase another high chair simply because your child no longer can use it.
This high chair is built very well despite its lightweight. It has several heights to choose from and is easy to adjust up or down. The tray is sturdy and easy to clean. There is an adjustable back which is great for smaller babies with feeding bottles. The seat pad is easy to clean and can be removed for machine washing.
The seat has 2 sets of straps – one set for the shoulders and one for the waist. There is an extra headpiece for infants too. The tray is large and will help prevent food from getting all over the floor. A detached cover over the tray will come off for cleaning and can be used as a plate for your child’s food. Two wheels on the front of the chair so it can be easily moved around.
Important points from the manufacturer
6 Growing Stages from Infant Highchair to Seating 2 Kids at Once
Stage 1: Infant Highchair with 3 Position Recline provides the right position for baby’s comfort
Stage 2: Traditional Highchair with a machine-washable seat pad
Stage 3: Infant Booster attaches to a dining room chair to bring baby right up to the table
Stage 4: Toddler Booster provides the perfect seat as your baby grows, for use at home or on the go
Some cons to this high chair
The tray on the high chair can be difficult to remove for someone who has strength problems in their hands.
There are no brakes on the front wheels, so it can slide easily if a child tries to hold on to it while standing up.
The straps on this high chair are solid and well built but can be hard to clean.
Ratings
This high chair rates a 4.7 out of 5! Overall, this is a great high chair reasonably priced when you consider that it will suffice for your baby from infant age to toddlerhood.

It is important to look for the safest one as well as one that will be comfortable for your baby.

If you have been searching for the best baby carrier, search no more. The most comfortable way to take baby with you wherever you go is the Hipster Plus Baby Carrier! This hip-seat carrier will help you save your back and keep your baby close. This hip seat is comfortable for your baby too!
Image source: Miamily.com
Ergonomic design
This baby carrier has an ergonomic design that allows your baby’s weight to be evenly distributed between your hips and shoulders. The built-in hip seat allows your baby to be seated in a natural position with his knees even with your hip level.
Full waist belt
Chiropractors (back doctors) recommend this carrier to their patients. There is a tall waist belt that provides extra support for your back and therefore reduces any chance of a back injury while you are carrying your baby.
Age range
You can use this baby carrier from birth to 48 months! There is an infant insert that you can use for your newborn. Then as your baby grows, simply take the insert out and use for baby.

A nice feature is that you can re-position your little one if he falls asleep (and I am sure he will) from facing outward to inward without having to reposition buttons or straps.
Storage
This baby carrier is also a backpack and has storage for 6 diapers along with a phone pocket!

There are nine carrying positions including front, forward facing, back, hip and there is plenty of room for your essentials eliminating the need to carry a purse! Think of it as a backpack too!

A Great Way to Soothe Your Baby
There are many ways to soothe a crying baby. However, I would like to share some of the things I learned along the way when raising my own children. I have also learned a few new things since watching my grandson. There are so many items available now-a-days that you can use to entertain and soothe your baby. Back in the day, we had crank-up baby swings. Now, we have electric baby rockers that do so much more. This is an awesome way to rock your baby to sleep for a nap and for you to take a break.
When your baby is fussing or crying, you will want to go over this simple checklist of things to consider of possible reasons for the fussiness.
First things first – feeding time
When your baby is crying or fussing, you should have a checklist either in your mind or on paper, of the things to rule out for the reasons he or she is crying. First, is it time for your little one’s feeding? If your baby is bottle fed, the rule of thumb is they eat about every 4 hours. If breast fed they eat about every 2 hours. Signs that your baby may be hungry include putting fists in his mouth or turning his head to the side with his mouth open looking for a bottle. Or, your baby may be smacking his lips. Keep track of when he last fed and you will have a good idea when it’s time to feed him. After the feeding, make sure your baby burps well before laying him down.
Second on the list
If your baby has already eaten, been burped, diaper changed and he is still fussing, you will want to see if maybe he is too warm or too cold. Is the temperature of the house on the warm side? You will want to dress him lightly. Is your house on the cool side, swaddle him in a receiving blanket. You get the idea, make sure he is comfortable. Dress the baby as you would dress for the temperature of the house.
If your baby is vomiting after feeding, has excessive spitting up and is losing or not gaining weight, you should call your pediatrician’s office and schedule him to be seen. It could be a type of gastric reflux which could easily be mistaken for colic (gas pains).
Feel your baby’s head, does he feel warm? Take his temperature. If your baby is younger than 2 months and has a fever, call your child’s doctor right away. Here is a general idea for baby’s temperature: The following are considered normal, while higher readings indicate fever.
Rectal reading of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius) or less
Oral reading of 99 degrees Fahrenheit (37.2 degrees Celsius) or less
If your baby is sick such as with a cold or other sickness, that will definitely make him out of sorts and in such cases, follow your pediatrician’s advice.
Third on list of things to rule out
Believe it or not, your little one can be fussy simply due to boredom! So here are a few ideas.
Take your baby for a walk. Put him in the stroller and if it is warm weather outside, go around the block a few times. It works like a charm! Before you know it, baby will be sleeping! Babies love the fresh air and it does make them sleepy. You can still walk them around your house in the stroller too! I have found that it works just as well.
Pick your baby up and sing to him softly as you gently rock him in your arms. Your voice is soothing to baby and being in your arms makes them feel secure.
4moms mamaRoo electric baby rocker
Put your little one in the baby swing, set the speed to slow and watch him slowly fall asleep. I have used the 4moms mamaRoo electric baby rocker for my own grandchild and I absolutely loved it! It has 5 different motions and speeds, it is Bluetooth enabled which controls motions and sound, and has 4 built-in sounds & a MP3 plug-in. This electric baby rocker also has an adjustable reclining seat. So if you are using this for entertainment, put the seat upward and if for napping, recline it back. The weight range is from birth to 25lbs (or when baby can sit up unassisted).
(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases)
A few drawbacks
The colorful balls on the top do not rotate at all. But keep in mind this is not a mobile. It is there for your baby to look at and to swing at with his hands. The bright colored balls will draw your little one’s attention. They are reversible too. Flip them over for the black and white colors.
This baby rocker is electric and it is pretty big. So when you set it up, pick a spot that will work well for you. You do not want to have to move it around and you will need to be close to an electrical outlet.
More pros than cons
This is the best electric baby rocker that I have seen on the market. Most hospitals use it in their nurseries too. In my opinion, every nursery should have this. It is a great way to soothe your baby. Please keep in mind that this should never be used for sleeping through the night. You should always be very near when your baby is in the rocker.
The pros far outweigh the cons for this baby rocker. It has so many great features including the Bluetooth feature as you can choose what music you want to play and you can control the settings for the motions.
I have attached a link for you if this electric baby rocker interests you. Please see below – purchase yours here!
